1979 Bally " Nitro groundshaker" pinball machine

By misswhit, 8 September, 2009
Description

This is a 1979 Bally pinball machine. The name on the machine is "Nitro ground shaker", game number 1154-E FO-622.Serial number 6096,model "grndshakerelectronic". I purchased it two years ago at the Salvation army for $17.50. It works but had a problem in the circuit board.I called in a repairman who took the board and has not returned it. I would like the appraisal for the value of the machine WITH the board, and without. The manufacturers date on the machine is 1979.
Thank You,
Miss Whit

Re: 1979 Bally " Nitro groundshaker" pinball machine

Games room machines of this type were hot with the boomers during the 1980's, but they are not in great demand now, on ebay many fail to even get bids, but examples in very good condition tend to move at under $1600.00.
