Hi Alan,

Nice to hear from you,

Your bingo is most similar to the

http://bingo.cdyn.com/machines/bally/miss_america_supreme/resources/bg-miss_america_supreme-1.jpg

but, this was one of the old Bally electo-mechanical bingos - Not solid-state/digital electronics

so really you are most similar to the upper-deck two-card games,

Subject: Re: Electronic bingo pinball machine made in Italy by LANDI & C. (1978)

hi danny sorry for the mistake i have stupidly made it is in fact a miss americarna triple bonus by sirmo before i bought the machine the man i got it form siad it was a miss america

and he bought it from italy many years ago so i did a bit of looking around before i had the machine whern it arrived it was in fact the miss americarna triple bonus but i still need

help as it is not working the playfield lights up the motors on the game card work but dont stop 2 lights on the main card flashes when i turn it on and the number counter flashes as

well

If you are asking for help, the very first thing you need to do is send in pictures and video to help me understand!!

The first pinball machine manufactured by Gottlieb (1931) was named 'Bingo' - and it sold for $16.50 !

Danny Leach

OK, the same set of question, for the 5^th time`

4) Is there any damage from the battery to the pc28 circuit board?

5) check the board for damage from a leaky battery and I would also remove the batteries....You should have around 3 volts on the battery (3.6v) which is for game memory

6) so let's get the other board in back into the bingo and tell me again what is happening:

https://www.2dehands.be/l/verzamelen/automaten-gokkasten-en-fruitautomaten/q/bingo/

hi danny put another pcb28c board in and now the counter clock is all zeros and i have one light flashing on the backboard when i touch a wire on the coin mech the the clock

starts adding credits also is the battery on the io board or the pc28 board

so pc28 #2 _woks and stops the cards cycling and all zeros on replay meter with one light flashing

2) the manual larry refers to is actually for the Miss Americana

3) please shoot me a picture of your new programmer

4) check the board for damage from a leaky battery and I would also remove the batteries....You should have around 3 volts on the battery (3.6v) which is for game memory

5) check out pg 75 of the manual showing the pc28

6) all CCCCs on the screen points to a problem with the epprom

The 11th coin just ads the double-double. The rest of the stuff happens randomly. The rollovers, the four corners and the super lines all light randomly through the random disk

(and reflex of course) regardless of how many cons are played. When the magic number lights, it doesn't spot that number on every card. It lights up to show you what number is the magic number. If you pot that number, then and only

then can you get double or double-double on the cards where that feature is lit. So on your screen shot the 7 and 9 is lit. The guy potted the seven so all cards pay double.

Cards four and five pay double-double. (oddly enough those are the two cards he hit on. Probably why that picture was taken.)

ar005 Aug 29

hi danny thanks for replying well here are some pics of the machine i tried to record it but the file was over 20 megs and would not let me send it but when i turn on the machine all

the play fiewld lights up then the counter for credits lights up with all cccc and then the motor for the 2 cards start going side to side untill i turn it off i also looked at the i/o board

which is pc32b and the pcb board is pc28 i have tried a pc28c in the machine and it just comes up with 2 lights under the cards that flah for a split second and the number counter

just flashes once on the last digit with a zero hope that helps will send pics in 2 emails

So, please tell me “what device you took the video with” so I can help you change the resolution of your camera??

WARD'S STAND ON PINBALL BAN CALLED 'WRONG'

by William Kling 1A Jun 17, 1963

Legislator Says Bill - Won't Hurt Police

BY KLINGS

A Chicago state legislator said yesterday that State's Atty. Daniel P. Ward "has been sold a bad bill of goods" in op- posing measures to ban pinball machines in Illinois. -

Rep. Albert W. Hachmeister [R., Chicago], chief sponsor of the bills passed by the House on April 23 and scheduled to be called for passage in the Senate this week, said Ward

"is out on a limb and he is very, very wrong" in maintaining that the proposal would permit wide-, open gambling in the state.

"These bills would knock the 'bingo' machine operators out of business and would keep 25 million dollars out of the crime syndicate s pockets in the next two years," Hach- meister said.

Charges Legal Paradox

Ward charged last week that an amendment to the bills per- mitting manufacture of the ma- chines for shipment to states where they. are legal created a "legal paradox" because

police would not be able to seize the machines on the assembly line.

He said police would be barred-from the premises by being told that any gambling devices present were destined for Nevada or other points where gambling is legal.

Hachmeister said federal authorities require that records be kept of the shipment of the machines so that local law en- ,forcement agencies working with federal agencies "in a cross-fire - approach" could make certain the law was not being circumvented by false destination claims.

Seeks to Save Jobs

The legislator said he added the amendment "so that thou- sands of workers would not he out of jobs." The bills still would outlaw the machines in Illinois and could be easily en- forced,

he said.

"These bills have been sitting around since February; and suddenly Ward finds some flaw just before they - come up for final passage," Hachmeister said. "They've had full hear- ings

with the only opposition from a few-downstate operators of the machines. Ward's action shows that something just isn't right here politically. He ought to have the courage to back off."

BINGOS ET JEUX DE CAFÉ

http://danny.cdyn.com/offshore102d.htm

glen burnie maryland I'm selling a few bingo pinball machines from my personal collection. The one offered here is the Bally Acapulco from 1961. I've had this bingo since 1992.

It appears on page 98 of Jeffrey Lawton's Bally Bingo Pinball Machine book. My Acapulco is in excellent overall condition. On a grading scale of 1 to 10, the backglass is an "8"

(I will provide two backglasses for the buyer, both "8"s), the cabinet is a "9", and is all original artwork and paint, the playfield is a "10" with no visible wear. The machine plays

perfectly. It has been mechanically shopped out; all steppers and switches have been cleaned, the mixer and control units have been cleaned with new clutches installed and

lubricated. The fuse block, fuses, and power cord are all new. The game manual and schematic are included. The game is located in Glen Burnie, MD (21061). I will not ship this

machine. Buyer must pick up or arrange shipping. If the buyer is within a 50 mile radius of Baltimore Maryland, I can deliver and set up the machine for $100. The Acapulco is a

unique, one of a kind Bally bingo, and this game is one of the best you will ever see.

Subject: RE: Bingo Pinballs

Hi Danny,

My site now moved to www.flippers.be

there's some Wimi bingo information there in the 'newbie' part.

You can always mail me at averhe@gmail.com with additional questions

Aeneas.

- most belgian companies are in the french speaking part of belgium, so english emails are maybe even ignored - some of them just had webdesign outsourced and probably never read

their email so you have to phone or fax - no-one is interested in supporting private owners of machines, even here in belgium, so probably they just don't care about machines

abroad - no-one is interested in the older models and the major problem is: - a lot of these companies have been taken over, so the people there now may not know anything about old models as this was from another company..

State v. Pinball MacHines

Annotate this Case

404 P.2d 923 (1965)

STATE of Alaska, Appellant, v. PINBALL MACHINES, Appellee. PINBALL MACHINES, Appellant, v. STATE of Alaska, Appellee.

Nos. 529, 539.

Supreme Court of Alaska.

August 19, 1965.

*924 Warren C. Colver, Atty. Gen., Juneau, and Dorothy Awes Haaland, Anchorage, for the State.

Roger G. Connor and Allan A. Engstrom, Juneau, and Millard Ingraham, Yeager & Ingraham, Fairbanks, Peter J. Kalamarides, Anchorage, for Pinball Machines.

Before NESBETT, C.J., DIMOND, J., and FITZGERALD, Judge.

DIMOND, Justice.

In Pin-Ball Machine v. State[1], decided in 1962, there was evidence that certain pinball machines had been so used that money had been paid for free games won on the machines.

We held that the machines were gambling implements within the meaning of the statute which requires law enforcement officials in Alaska to seize and destroy all gambling implements.[2] We did not decide whether, lacking evidence of cash payoffs for free games won, such machines were gambling devices in themselves. That is the question that was presented in the two cases now before us. In No. 539 the superior court at Fairbanks held that a pinball machine was a gambling *925 device per se, while in No. 529, the superior

court at Anchorage held that it was not. We hold that the Fairbanks court was correct and the Anchorage court, in error, and that the pinball machines involved in these cases are gambling implements in themselves, subject to seizure and destruction under law.

The type of pinball machine involved in these cases is an electro-mechanical device operated by a motor which is activated by the insertion of a coin in the machine. Balls are released which the player shoots with a plunger device on the table or play-board portion of the machine. The balls drop into numbered holes which cause corresponding numbers on a bingo-like card on the backboard to light up. When the player gets a certain combination of lighted numbers on the bingo card, the machine registers a certain number of free games to which the player becomes entitled.

The number of free games that one may win depends not only upon the number and sequence of lighted numbers on the bingo card, but also upon the odds which are controlled by a mechanism called a search relay. Odds are varied and generally increase in the player's favor as he inserts more coins in the machine or utilizes the free games that he has accumulated. The effect of increasing the odds is to increase the number of free games that one may win for the same number and sequence of lighted numbers on the bingo card. For example, one may win 16 free games for 4 consecutive lighted numbers in a certain row. As the odds change in the player's favor, the number of free games for the same sequence of lighted numbers could possibly increase to 96. It is conceivable that a player could win as many as 999 free games in all.

When free games accumulated are not played, they can be removed from the machine by pushing a runoff button. The number of free games thus removed is recorded on a meter inside the machine.

The courts generally agree that the essential elements of gambling are price, chance and prize.[3] Thus, one gambles when he pays a price for a chance to obtain a prize. A gambling implement is some tangible thing which is used or mainly designed or suited for gambling.[4]

All of the essential elements of gambling are present here. One may not play a pinball machine without paying a price, that is, by inserting money into the machine to activate it for play.

The element of chance is present, because the outcome the number of free games that one may win is not a certain thing. It may be true that some degree of skill is also involved. As the trial judge in No. 529 stated:

5. This court, from the evidence presented, cannot find that the game is played wholly without skill. The object is to roll at least three of the five balls in numbered holes or slots which will light up the number on the black on the backboard of the machine in order to win any free games. There is a bumper in front of each numbered hole on the board of the machine which would prevent the marble being played *926 from going directly into the hole. However, the more experienced and skilled a player is, the more likely he is to maneuver the ball past the bumper into the hole. Three numbers in a row might light up three numbers in a row must light up to win a free game. The more numbers in a row which light up the more games are won. The court finds that a skilled player would have a better opportunity to secure or win free games on the machine than would an unskilled player.

The fact that some skill may be involved does not mean that there is no gamble. To say that a skilled player would have a better opportunity than an unskilled player to win free games is not the same as saying that the skilled player's operation of the machine will certainly result in a fixed number of free games each time he shoots his quota of balls. No matter how much skill one possesses, he has no control over the odds which vary according to the number of coins that are inserted or the number of accumulated games won that are utilized for free play. The odds are controlled entirely by an intricate mechanism within the machine. When balls are placed in a certain sequence of holes, the odds determine the number of free games that the player will receive without regard to his skill or lack of it.

While there is uncertainty, there is chance.[5] Uncertainty in the number of free games that one may win greatly predominates over any skill that may be involved. In these circumstances chance, as an element of gambling, exists.[6]

The remaining question is whether the element of prize is present. The basic argument made by the machines' owners is that when one accumulates free plays he is accorded the privilege of entertaining or amusing himself by playing additional games, that such free games are the only thing that a player may win, and that they do not amount to a prize because they represent neither money nor any other thing of value.

A prize is something offered or striven for in a contest of chance something which may be won by chance.[7] Whether or not one finds amusement or entertainment in playing a pinball machine, there is always something that he is striving to win by operation of chance, namely, free games. This is the prize the opportunity to continue to play the machine without paying for it.[8] A pinball machine that costs money to operate and which, through the element of chance awards free games, cannot be operated without the three elements of price, chance and prize being present. Those three elements are inherent in the make-up and operation of the machine, and since they are the elements that constitute gambling, a pinball machine is in itself a gambling device.

The appellant in No. 539 argues that it is implicit in gambling that the prize which one chances to win is more valuable than the price which he pays, that free games have no monetary market value, and that the player who wins free games has not *927 received a prize because he has never had a chance to gain something of greater monetary value in relation to the monetary value of the price he had paid.

It is not of the essence of gambling that the element of prize have a monetary market value. If that which one seeks to attain, regardless of whether it has value in money, may be attained by chance after payment of a price, then one is gambling. The intrinsic nature of gambling is the payment of a price for a chance to obtain that which one seeks but which one could not obtain unless the element of chance were present and unless one had paid a price for the availability of the chance.

Appellee in No. 529 contends that state law pertaining to pinball machines constitutes legislative recognition that such machines are not gambling devices per se.

AS 43.35.010 imposes a tax on a person who maintains for use or permits the use on premises under his control of a coin-operated device class 1, class 2 or class 3. The class 2 device, which is the machine involved in these cases, is defined by AS 43.35.090(2) as meaning

* * * a pinball machine, including a bingo type coin-operated device, horse race machine or other apparatus or device which operates by means of insertion of a coin, token, or similar object and which, by embodying the elements of chance or skill, awards free plays and which contains a device for releasing free plays and a meter for registering or recording the plays so released, or with a provision for multiple coin insertion for increasing the odds; class 2 does not include bona fide vending machines in which gaming or amusement features are not incorporated;

The substance of appellee's argument is that the legislature did not consider that a class 2 coin-operated device was a gambling implement in itself, because it licensed such a machine for operation and sanctioned its use insofar as the machine awards free plays that are not compensated for in money or other things of monetary value.

Appellee's argument has no legal or logical foundation. The legislature did not "license" a pinball machine for operation. The statute says nothing about a license. It imposes a tax on a person who maintains or who permits the use on premises under his control of a pinball machine. Such a tax is not a license of the business of operating pinball machines in the sense that it confers a right which would not exist in the absence of the imposition of the tax. The taxing statute cannot reasonably be read that way. And it is too well settled for argument that a business expressly condemned and made unlawful by statute is not made lawful by the fact that a tax is imposed with respect to the operation of such business.[9] As the United States Supreme Court has said:

The burden of the tax may be imposed alike on the just and the unjust. It would be strange if one carrying on a business the subject of an excise should be able to excuse himself from payment by the plea that in carrying on the business he was violating the *928 law. The rule has always been otherwise.[10]

Nor did the legislature sanction the use of a pinball machine to the extent that it awards free plays and nothing else. AS 43.35.090(2), which contains the definition of a class 2 coin-operated device, is nothing more than that a definition of that which must exist before the tax becomes applicable. Such a definition of a term cannot logically be construed as a legislative statement of the uses and purposes to which a pinball machine may be put.

As part of the same statute which defines a class 2 coin-operated device, AS 43.35.070 states that:

This chapter does not legalize gambling or the possession of a gambling device.

We have held that a class 2 device, a pinball machine, is a gambling device in itself. The above quoted statutory provision makes it clear that the use or possession of a pinball machine is not made lawful by the mere fact that such machine is defined by law for tax purposes.

The appellant in No. 539 contends that there was no adequate proof that the pinball machines which are the subject of this case were the same as the pinball machine which was demonstrated before the court.

A witness for the state, who qualified as an expert on pinball machines, demonstrated a machine before the court and testified as to its make-up and operation. He testified that he had examined each of the machines which were the subject of this case and that the mechanical make-up of those machines was basically the same as the machines demonstrated in court and had the same general features of operation.

The court could infer from this evidence that the machines which were the subject of the action in the court below, although not physically present before the court, were pinball machines of the kind described by the witness, with the basic features of a coin insertion to activate the machine, the shooting of balls by the player, the dropping of balls into holes, the lighting of numbers on a bingo-type card, the varying of odds by a mechanism within the machine, and the winning of free games by chance. Machines possessing those characteristics are gambling implements in themselves. Proof that the subject machines were gambling implements was sufficient.

The pinball machines involved in these two cases are gambling implements within the meaning of AS 11.45.040 and are subject to seizure and destruction.[11] The judgment in File No. 529 is reversed and the judgment in File No. 539 is affirmed. The cases are remanded for further proceedings consistent with the views expressed in this opinion.

[2] AS 11.45.040 (formerly § 4-2-1 ACLA 1949) provides:

The commissioner of public safety, a member of the division of state police, or a police or peace officer designated by the commissioner shall seize and destroy a gambling implement.

In Pin-Ball Machine v State, 371 P.2d 805, 808 (Alaska 1962), we defined a gambling implement as "any tangible means, instrument or contrivance by which money may be won or lost as distinguished from the game itself." We pointed out that this was but one of the commonly accepted definitions of a gambling implement, and that we were applying it in that case because there was an actual payoff. We did not foreclose ourselves from adopting a broader and more comprehensive definition of gambling as we have done in these cases.

Still enjoying your site and I try to contribute in a small way as gratitude for all the work you do and to encourage other to pump out information.

The article you have named Carnival Queen Stepper Instructions. You were wondering what the card is about, its setting the zero position switch for the magic screen, I have attached a photo of the card, not the best condition card but it is readable. A lot easier than reading the one you have.

The article titled Dedis Fun Machines. You were correct in thinking it was from an Australian Forum with "baseball machines". I brought a Cypress Gardens BG and the guy gave me a Dedis Fun Machines BG as an extra. I asked him what it was about and he said along the lines that when the cops came around, Cypress Gardens or Beach Time was on their bad boy list but Dedis wasn't so it could stay. The top LH corner logo is a reflection. The BG seems to suit Beach Time with the F line. The replays across the bottom though have me stumped.

I have also attached a photo of my Carnival Queen, just for interest, this one has the playfield painted red. The colour actually looks good but not as good as original. My CQ has wooden legs but the fliers of it have steel legs. I know Cypress Gardens and Beach Time came out with wooden legs and many photo on the web show wooden legs (like Phils Bingo site). They may of been retro fitted though.

Does anyone know when the actual change occurred?

Cheers from Oz

Hi Danny

Really enjoy your site.

Last year I sent a photo of my baseballised Cypress Gardens.

You have it displayed as "Another Baseball Bingo"

Hopefully I didn't mislead you, I removed some playfield parts for cleaning, it wasn't done years ago.

The serial Nos are for the head C2518, the playfield and cabinet are both C3582.

I am now restoring the machine, a very big task.

I have a thread on Aussiepinball and a guys father was the man who converted many to Baseball games. See thread.

On the 3rd posting he shows a bit of a find. Bingos now seem rare over here.

Au Bon Vieux Temps (Marquain) Empty

Près de Tournai se trouve un café où on peut jouer à BadLands et Final Lap 3. D'autres jeux devraient arriver bientôt.

On y trouve aussi un flipper Doctor Who, un kicker Jupiter, un billard à bouchon, un bingo et un dart à pointe métallique.

C'est la première fois que je vois BadLands sur une borne avec un joystick (au lieu du volant). What the fuck ?!?

Le café se trouve sur la place de Marquain.

Vous trouverez plus d'infos sur la fiche de l'établissement: http://www.arcadebelgium.be/ab.php?r=loc&p=aubonvie

Voici quelques photos envoyées par le propriétaire des lieux:

Les bingos sont ces espèces de machines à sous installées dans les cafés qui permettent aux joueurs de gagner de l'argent. Des individus auraient trouvé le moyen de les tromper. Lundi soir, deux cafés d'Andenne ont ainsi été dépouillés de plusieurs centaines d'euros chacun.

Newsletter info

Recevez chaque matin l’essentiel de l'actualité.

La méthode est assez simple. Les deux fraudeurs ont choisi des établissements où les bingos ne sont pas surveillés en permanence. C'est le cas du "Barcelone", une taverne où le personnel se partage entre la salle du café et celles du restaurant. "Ils ont profité des moments où mes serveurs allaient dans la partie restaurant. C'est alors qu'ils ont éteint et allumé plusieurs fois la machine".

Or, à chaque fois que la machine redémarrait, elle augmentait les gains de 50 euros. Lorsque la somme a atteint les 800, les fraudeurs se sont rendus au bar pour demander leurs gains en espèces avant de quitter l'établissement comme si de rien n'était.

La faille

Dans l'autre café, la somme obtenue avoisinerait également les 1000 euros. Un gain appréciable quand on sait que dans les deux cas, la mise de départ des fraudeurs n'a pas dépassé les 20 euros.

La faille ne serait a priori pas connue du fabricant du jeu. Les cafetiers, eux, sont embarrassés. "Mais j'ai accepté de vous répondre parce que je n'ai pas envie que des collègues n'en soient aussi victimes, dans les prochaines heures ou les prochains jours".

Le patron du "Barcelone" ira porter plainte. Il devrait aussi rencontrer son installateur de jeu pour tenter de trouver une parade à cette faille de bingo, plutôt onéreuse.

Subject: AW: KDU - Bigno Pinballs?

Hi Danny,

I maybe have the manual, this unit is used for the self-test functions.

I analyze the existing schematic and made a try.

In the schema you see the strobe and return lines. The KDU units is quite similar to a bally 6803 keypad, I scanned almost the entire manual. Do you want it ?

Greetings Oliver

Russ turned out to be a good friend and mentor - Danny here is the article on Babbage, Russ

CHARLES BABBAGE - COMPUTER PIONEER

by Russ Jensen

All of you reading this must be "computer people" (or you couldn't even be reading it) and we all know what a great "tool" the digital computer can be! However, many of you, I suspect,

probably don't realize that the idea of the digital computer is actually rooted in the past - the distant past! Would you believe that there was a man who lived over 150 years ago who had the total concept of the computer in his mind?

His name was Charles Babbage. He had an idea for a mechanical digital computer, but he was never able to construct it, partly due to the state of mechanical technology of the day, but also for another reason which I shall mention later. But I can assure you that Mr. Babbage would not at all have been surprised at today's high tech computers - he would probably say if he were to come back today "you see, I told you that it had endless possibilities".

Mr Babbage could probably be classified as a "genius". He certainly was an interesting individual. He was quite intelligent and just loved all aspects of science and mathematics. He had one pet peeve, however, he HATED organ grinders!

Charles was born to a well-to-do family, his father being a London banker. He was born the day after Christmas in 1791. He was a sickly child, but had it better than most of his siblings who died young - only one sister living into adulthood. He was too sick for about a year to go to school, but was tutored during that period.

In 1811 he began attending Cambridge University. During his first year he read the works of the great European mathematicians of the time, and soon discovered that he knew more of The Calculus than his instructors. In his second year he joined a group of students (who became known as the "Analytical Society") who were devoted to translating the work of the French mathematician Lacroix into English. These same chaps concerned themselves with propagating the use of the "d's" (denoting differentials) of Leibnitz over the "dots" used by Newton - the use of which at the university Babbage once referred to as "the 'dot-age' of the university". (Incidentally, Isaac Newton is one of my personal "folk heros" as Mr. Babbage also is),

Babbage later became interested in astronomical instruments and started a project to find a method for accurately making fine graduations on their scales. But, he thought, what good is that if the tables used to determine where to point the instrument are not accurate themselves? So he came up with an idea for a mechanical calculating machine to create more accurate astronomical tables. This device, which he dubbed the "Difference Engine", employed the mathematical method of "Successive Differences". Not only would his proposed device calculate tables (and it included a method of "carrying" from one column to the next) it would also print the results of it's calculations on paper!

By 1822 Babbage had build two experimental versions of his machine. By the next year he had convinced the British government to provide funding for further development - the total cost of the project being estimated at 3 to 5 thousand Pounds - with an estimated completion time of three years.

These estimates proved to be very unrealistic - the project never being completed! This was partly because Babbage was constantly revising his ideas, causing most previous work on the device to be abandoned many times. Because of this the government eventually refused to pour any more funds into the project – some officials calling it a "humbug", and others even accusing him of trying to defraud the government.

One of Babbage's later ideas for the Difference Engine involved letting the output of the "highest order column" be "fed back" to other parts of the machine. This resulted in him

arranging the shafts and gears in a circle rather than in a straight line. This meant that the machine could "control itself"! A machine based on that principle he referred to as an "Analytical Engine". Babbage believed such a machine could be used to automatically perform complex mathematical operations. It was around 1834 that he began thinking about such a device.

Babbage's new brainchild would be made up of several "sections" all working together to solve a problem - the problem to be solved being able to be changed ("programmed") by the user. This, as you can see, was very similar to the digital computers of today.

The "calculating" of the Difference Engine was to be performed by "the mill" which utilized refinements of the principles of the Difference Engine. The device would also have a "store" (memory) capable not only of holding "constants", but intermediate results of the machine's calculations as well - the mechanical equivalent of the "memory" of computers today. In fact, these terms ("mill" and "store") are still used in England today to denote a computer's CPU and memory respectively.

The input/output ("I/O") of the Analytical Engine was also extremely sophisticated. The "input" would consist of "constants" - Babbage envisioned up to 1000 (of 50 decimal digits each) -which would be set by hand at the start of a calculation on certain wheels in the machine. The machine's "instructions" would come from rudimentary "punched cards", the idea for which Babbage got from Frenchman J.M. Jacquard's automatic weaving loom which had been recently invented and was "all the rage" at the time.

The "output" Babbage proposed was an automatic printing mechanism similar to what he had proposed for the Difference Engine, but it would also be capable of printing two sheets at once or creating a "printing plate" for mass printing. He also envisioned the machine as being able to punch cards as output.

The "control" for the machine, of course, came from the program cards as just described. It is easy to see the similarities between Babbage’s planned machine and the computers

of today.

Every computer needs a programmer - and if the Analytical Engine had ever been completed its programmer would have possibly been a lady named Ada Augusta King (ne Byron), the Countess of Lovelace. I'm sure some of you readers have heard of the Ada programming language which is used today - well, it was named after this special lady.

Ada was the only legitimate daughter of the famed English poet Lord Byron. Due to his philandering, his wife separated from him and raised Ada by herself. Ada's mother soon discovered that her daughter had a good mind, especially when it came to mathematics, so she hired the well-known mathematician Augustus DeMorgan to tutor her. In those days it was quite unusual for a woman to get more than a rudimentary education, but Ada was "special"!

Ada and a friend once visited Charles Babbage and he explained his ideas for the Analytical Engine to them. She immediately grasped his idea and was fascinated by it! In later years she wrote extensively about the Analytical Engine, describing Babbage's concept in much detail. She eventually died at a fairly young age - which Babbage took very hard.

Although Babbage did not get much encouragement from his fellow countrymen (other than Ada and a few others) regarding his new brainchild (the Analytical Engine) the situation was different on the Continent, especially in Italy. When an Italian scientist wrote of Babbage's Analytical Engine in very complementary terms, he was invited to speak at a scientific gathering at Turin in 1840. He was also presented with two "honorary orders" from the Italian King which he was very proud of - his achievements being hardly noticed by England's scientific community which discouraged him very much throughout his life.

As I said earlier, the British government eventually dropped it's financial support of the Difference Engine. It was because of that that Babbage could not get them to finance the Analytical Engine, despite Lady Lovelace's praises of it's concept to people in the government and English society that she and her husband knew - and the praise he received on the Continent. So the Analytical Engine (and Babbage's version of the Difference Engine) was never completed, partly because of the British government withdrawing it's financial support of his Difference Engine project. But, the reason for that was the failure of the Difference Engine project being completed in a reasonable time, and for a reasonable amount of money - at least as far as the government was concerned. And one reason for that was Babbage's continually revising specifications for the Difference Engine as construction went along.

It could therefore be conjectured that if Babbage had left the original specifications for the Difference Engine alone it might have been completed, and possibly then the government would have considered financing the Analytical Engine. So, who knows, if Charles Babbage had not been such a "perfectionist" England might have had a working "prototype" of the modern digital computer - however, no one will ever know? The above conjecture is purely this writer's, and I have not read anywhere of such a theory – but it is interesting to ponder, nevertheless!

Now, a little about some other aspects of this great man's life. As far as his family was concerned, Charles married during his years at the university. His wife, Georgiana, bore him eight

children, only to die during her last delivery - a very, very sad event for Charles! Most of his other children also died early in life, only three sons surviving him. Babbage's eldest son, Henry, (who eventually became a Colonel in the British Army) helped his father from time to time with his "engines", and even worked on one himself after his father's death as we shall see.

In addition to his "engines", throughout his life Charles was a prolific writer on many scientific and mathematical subjects, all involving a considerable amount of research. He also was an inventor, again involving a variety of disciplines.

Babbage was fascinated by railroads (which were a fairly new thing at the time) and invented the locomotive "cow catcher". And had a brilliant idea for a semaphore device which could show the engineer approximately how long ago a previous train had passed. He was also quite interested in the field of optics and, among other things, came up with the idea for the "opthalmascope" - the device the eye doctor uses to look into one's eyes. He failed to patent it, however, and it was patented later by someone else.

Getting back now to the "engines". Even though Babbage's version of the Difference Engine was never built, a successful one was completed in 1854 by a Swede named George Scheutz. This machine utilized "4th Differences" and computed to an accuracy of 14 decimal digits (not the 50 that Babbage had proposed). Two years later it was purchased by an Albany, New York observatory and used to compute astronomical tables just as Babbage had proposed. A copy of the Scheutz engine was also used in England to compute insurance actuarial tables.

As far as the Analytical Engine was concerned, several years after his father's death his son Henry succeeded in building a working model of the engine's "mill" and printing mechanism which he used to calculate and print the multiples of "pi" to 29 decimal places. Parts of both of Babbage's engines ended up in a London area museum where they can be seen today.

Charles Babbage died at his home on October 18, 1871 at almost 80 years of age, a long lifetime for a person in that time! He died somewhat of an embittered man because of the failure of his pet project and of the lack of recognition he had received from the scientific community in his country. But, as you can see from the above, his ideas were far ahead of their time, but "right on" as it turns out!

Making choices

When we started collecting Bally Bingo's about 7 years ago, we did not think of collecting all bingo's made by Bally. Besides We made a few restrictions. We would not search for the three- and sixcard models from the late 60 ties and seventies and we did not give priority to the 20 holers. Moreover the Ohio Dime Games (as Jeffrey Lawton calls them) did not bother us even. In other words we started collecting the bingo's from the early 50 ties till the 20 holers (and the Malibu Beach) from the 70 ties. Long did we doubt to go for the one and only electronic Bally Bingo, (the Continental). But after restorating a Continental for somebody we were able to give this machine back to the owner without having greedy feelings about it.

Freddy Bailey's House of Seeburg Offered this week is a collection of rare brochures and flyers of Kiddy Rides and various Amusement and Carnival rides. I was born in 1942 into a traveling carnival family, who toured with the traveling fairs of England. Over the past seven years I have been writing a book about my life on those Fairs/Carnival's, as well as my life that progressed from those Fair's into the Amusement Arcade and Coin Operated Machine Industry. Over the last 50 years I have operated various jukeboxes and coin operated games in several Countries around the World. Now at age 65 I am putting all of my memrous of the industry down on paper in the form of a hardback book to be called "All My Life..........A Showman". During the research for my book I have amassed a great deal of coin operated memoriabilia from around the World that is related to my day's of operating on the Fairgrounds and of my operating jukeboxes and games in both Amusement Arcades and various locations in several Countries

Denver Post ArchivesAPR 29 1964 Pinball Machine Goes to Court Is this pinball machine a gambling device? The city contends it is. Its owner, Modern Music Co., says it isn't. The issue was argued in court Wednesday before Municipal Judge William Conley, far left. At the machine are Arthur E. Smith of Modern Music Co., left, and Assistant City Atty. Irving Ettenberg. The other city attorney arguing the case, Lloyd Shinsato, is at far right. Leslie Gross is arguing the case for Modern Music Co. Safety Manager Daniel Hoffman ordered the pinball machine picked up from the Packinghouse Workers Association building at 3727 Delgany St. after federal authorities informed him the association purchased a gambling tax stamp for machine.
