Bally would run Magic Screens out to Bounty in 1963, with a final 1980

release on Malibu Beach, which essentially was a remake of 1960’s Laguna Beach

Yeah, I might stick with the original too`…smile`

And with each game, Bally would also add new screens and ways of Scoring

These are indeed a very Cool set of Bingos`

Some might argue that these are the most “complex” of the machines`

And a quick look inside there is definitely a lot going on here`

Quite a number of extra modules and relays, now with alignment requires - etc`

One of the features of the novel display mechanism is the provision of a shiftable display panel structure consisting of a plurality of articulated sub panels mounted to travel before a fixed display panel into and out of selected positions to change the so-called score card.
