Bally's slot machines
In your May, 1977 issue of Play
Meter, you have an article
entitled "Bally Takes Part in
Macy' Promotion."
How can Bally Manufacturing
Corp. in Chicago, Illinois, ship
slot machines for display and use
to Macy's in New York City, New
York without violating federal
law prohibiting shipment across
tate lines to a state that does not
have legalized gambling of this
type?
Thank you for your answer.

[Bally shipped only the slot
machine cabinets to New York
and not the hopper mechanisms.
According to Ross Scheer at
Bally, Macy's made the machines
look junctional, although they
weren't - Ed.]
The logic comparator
I appreciate very much the
logic comparator articles by Mr.
Minnear and intend to build one
a soon as possible. If a P.C.
board is available for this, I
would like to purchase one.
I am looking forward also to his
mention of plans for a test fixture
and a logic probe. All of us know
that these things are really
imple devices, just outrageously
priced. Thanks for the help.
I agree with the gentleman
suggesting you publish a price
guide. All you would have to do
would be to poll distributors on
trade/ sale prices quarterly or
semiannually.

From Down Under
Being a technician in Australia,
I find your magazine very infor-
mative. In Australia we don't
receive as much information as
our counterparts in the U.S.A.,
and Play Meter helps to fill the
gap.
It is a most interesting maga-
zine and a credit to your staff.

I really enjoy your magazine,
especially the technical articles .
I've got the chips on order so I
can rejuvenate my Tank II's.
Many thanks for your fine
magazine.
