Yup yup!
Mine has a sticker "Bally N.E." on it -- it came from New England Coin-Op
during their heyday as a major Bally distributor. Anything distributed from
them had this sticker on it, or so I'm told.
It was placed 1/2 on the motherboard and 1/2 on the edge connector,
presumably for some sort of anti-tampering / warranty security.

At one point, I'm pretty sure Bally (as in Alladin's Castle) was a
distributor
(or at least a lessor) for Atari.
Example: at the beginning of the season at Cedar Point, the semi
truck from Bally's Alladin's Castle would roll up, and we would unload
brand new Atari games from it. The games were leased, and the same
truck (from Chicago) would roll up at the end of the season and cart the
games off again. When there were serious board problems, the PCBs
would be sent off to Alladin's Castle for repair or replacement (this was
in the late 80's).
