Usually Bally EM's are worth what you can get someone to pay for them. Not a huge market like the old mechanical slots is. I see machines list between 200 to 400 and listed with fleabay up to 650 on the average but dont see them bring that price often. Is your machine working? Is the paint on the glass peeling away from the glass? Is the chrome in good shape or pitted with rust spots or dimples? All these things can effect the value of the machines. I just bought mine in non working condition for 150, only because I always wanted a Bally machine with a progressive JP to add to my collection. I did check it before I bought it and there were no jumpers or butchered wiring done in it and all the mech were locked up with old grease but looked really clean besides that. I felt that all the workings would be fine and they were once I freed them up, runs very well. I would not have bought mine for that price if it showed signs of more problems.
Are looking to sell it.... if so send me a IM and we can talk. Need to know where you live because shipping one of these machines can eat up all value they might have after paying for it.
