Only Two of these Pinball Machines in the country?! Famaresa New City

I picked up these two Famaresa New City pinball bingo machines from Facebook Marketplace then realized I'd never even heard of Famaresa, Turns out these are the only known instances of this machine in the entire United States.

Interesting to see the researching

[@jamesavery3559]

these machines are history and need to be restored.

In Europe Bingo Machines were kind of common, espacially in Belgium. Wimi was one o the biggest manufacturers here in Europe. Good Luck to find anything about the solid-state stuff. i recently disposed a Bingo-Machine made by WIMI (Belgium) because no one wanted any parts of the Machine and also there wasn't any support of reaparing this kind of machines here in Germany.

seeing the internals, and all the language on the signs its definitly spanish on those. its not french or dutch for being a belgian machine ( still could be).
i dont know why this has been re'ommended by YT to me, greetings from belgium btw

edit: while you think about "bingo" machines you directly think about the 50/60/70s ( before they wre "ilegal" in the US).
they are still being made by companies in the world (notable Bingovit in Belgium), theres machines with biggers LCDs than the currrent day new Sterns for almost over a decade ( or two) before they started using them in their games

You would be surprised at pinball places shipping.
I got a Police Force cab decal set from the EU that shipped and came and had several options of EU money or US so of course choose US.
So yeah I run a pinball repair business so would be surprised if an over seas place did not ship to you.

Well the problem was it was a random guy selling it on a website similar to ebay but with a bit of talking with the guy with google translate I've sent the guy 50€ and I got a tracking number so we'll see if it shows up.

Worth a couple bucks at the scrap yard but that is about it.
