    10 balls for 5 cents. Trap holes (12), Free Play holes (2). Electrically illuminated playfield. The ball lift mechanism lifts all ten balls to the playfield simultaneously, two each of five different colors, to be visible to the player in a trough serving the plunger. This allows the player to strategize play for maximum scoring. Playfield advertised as 36 inches long and 17 inches wide. Walnut cabinet advertised as 43 inches long and 21 inches wide. The playfield hinges at its top edge for lifting up into service position. Ball size: 13/16 inches in diameter. Ten semi-transparent balls total, two each of Royal Blue, Ruby Red, Old Ivory, Canary Yellow, and Emerald Green.
    ipdb.notes
    This game uses electrical illumination. The manufacturer advertised: "Simply slip an extension cord into the cabinet socket, and DIAMOND BALL'S playfield field of three-tone-green DIAMOND DESIGN is illuminated with an eye-resting glow of reflected light." We seek pictures of under the playfield and inside the cabinet to explain the illumination feature.
