Bingo Pinballs

Well, within a handful of days, Jay sent out his Mystery List, I posted this association with the Sirmo New Orleans, and Dennis spots an actual picture of Ballys Mississippi Showboat on faceook _ laugh _ Cool

Now we know the Continental was built overseas somewhere because Bally Mfg. was closed by 1978, so what can we infer from that!!

But, what does that mean in relationship to the last (4) bingos on Bally’s Model Number List?

_ Do you believe in Coincidences _

_ Model Number 1258 _ Mississippi Showboat _

Now I find these Sirmo New Orleans pictures very interesting: This bingo has Bally’s stainless steel anti-cheat rails, Bally serial numbers stamped into the side of the cabinet and backbox, lovely Mississippi Riverboat graphics, and a cabinet style exactly like the late model Bally Tahitis, Dixielands, and Continentals!

Hmmm!

_ Now how about the manual, the schematics, and those internals _

1) The New Orleans manual is the “only” Sirmo manual that doesn’t say “Sirmo” on it!

2) Sirmo’s New Orleans Schematics were written/started in 1979?

3) The New Orleans playfield mechanicals are 100% Bally:

 ~ I think it’s highly likely that this Sirmo bingo is Bally’s missing Mississippi Showboat!! ~
