This game featured "Styling of the 60's" with a new cabinet design having anodized aluminum trim and tapered tubular chromium steel legs. A shelf with cigarette holder allowed for placement of drinks and increased the length by six inches. The plywood bottom was increased from 1/4-inch to 3/4 inch in thickness. Williams used this cabinet design on several games during 1960-1961.
    ipdb.notes
    Backglass and playfield are very similar to Williams' 1960 '21'. See Darts for Billboard articles about the introduction of this new-style cabinet to the pinball industry. We have removed Steve Kordek as the designer for this game. In the late 1990's or so, he composed a list of games that he had designed while at Williams and this game is not one of them. The manufacturer's original playfield drawing (not shown here) is stamped ORIGINAL, dated 4/1/60 and is signed by (Harry) Mabs (drawn by him, and much more sketch-like than his normal games, which were pretty accurately detailed). The manufacturer's Tool Room copy of this drawing (also not shown here) is stamped MASTER, drawn 7/12/60, completed 7/22/60. Williams documentation shows a production date of 11-22-1960 for this game while their Billboard announcement (shown here) indicates they shipped the game in the first week of November.
