This is a ToonerValley Trolley that was manufactured by Bally in Chicago. It plugs into a standard outlet and RUNS ... it is NOT coin operated. This was given to us as a gift and we don't know anything about it other than it has been sitting in a garage underneath a bunch of stuff for the last 35 years...any kind of information or where to look for information would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Here are three sites that will give you information. While I don't think it will cover your mortgage, you have a nice piece of Americanna! If you don't want to sell it you could be a real hero at local elementary school Spring Festivals or Fall Festivals. At 25 cents a ride you could do a lot of good for the schools!
hi-ive restored one several years ago and can help where i can--ive yet to locate a parts book -bally was religous about game manuals-your front light which is missing is actually a 53-55 ford stop light--any standard bally coin box/timer will work but w/bally logo are getting scarce-hope this helps-dances with light bulbs
ps --working correctly they are a rough rough ride-fun at the time but i would be afraid to expose one to public use now dwlb
