I spotted this unique Bingo on ebay.Italy one day and with that paint job, it was a bit hard to miss - Smile`

 

  ebay italy Jun 2010 - Pixies Miss Bonus1

 

The lady selling this bingo titled it “Pinko” which fits – laugh!

 

Now I list this with the Wimi’s from the Dead Zone, but who really knows ~ That seems to be a 1980 Bally Continental cabinet, which means this thing was likely built in the early 80s sometime. Those buttons look to be metal and look to be somewhat flush with the handrail, so maybe this isn’t a TSCC Bingo.

 

To further peg the date and origin, next we’d need to turn to the 1976 Miss America, which has the same babes and was one of the “lower-case” 2-Cards games, so this is not a simple street spin – and many of the early Belgium games were 2-Card and Wimi has a manual out for Miss Bonus, so……

Although said. The Miss Bonus manuals highlight Miss Bonus in one of the solid-oak cabinets, so something here is more than slightly odd

 

In some ways Miss Bonus 2 seems to be a bit of an Anomaly`

 

Hmmm

 

With this cabinet, there is definitely a story here, I wonder if we’ll ever know`

Once I knew these were out there, I started looking and over the years finally found a few of these to share`

OK, three different cabinet styles, so definitely a “kit” at one time`

 

 

These Miss Bonus games are very pretty Bingo Pinballs
