Bally "Fun & Brains" counter display.

Bally "Fun & Brains" Counter Display. Circa 1978/1979. This is the plastic base unit of the Bally "Fun & Brains" counter display. The "Bally Fun & Brains Counter Display Set Up Instructions" show a drawing of the header card for use with the base unit, but that card is not shown here. Also seen here is the 4K "Dealer Demo" cartridge (#6001) that was made by Bally Mfg. Corp. in 1978 and is part of the Functional Series. The cartridge runs about four minutes (continuous loop) and features the "built in" software of the Bally console. The demo was written by Dick Ainsworth.
