- Metal jackpot attachment on front of cabinet holds every fifth deposited coin for payout.
- ipdb.notes
- A Coin Machine Journal ad from August 1932 (not shown here) has a picture of this pin table, with turned legs. On the front of the cabinet is a Jackpot Attachment as standard equipment even while the ad also shows this attachment sold separately to convert other non-payout games into payout machines. This device is made of "fine steel, aluminum, and bronze castings with steel aeroplane strut wire, fully machined." Unlike the attachment advertised for American Engineering Co.'s 1932 'Doughboy De Luxe Senior', this one shows a key lock on its left side as well as a long slim pull knob used to release the jackpot coins when a ball lands in the Jackpot hole. The price of one machine was $37.50. The cabinet dimensions were not advertised.
By August of 1932, this manufacturer expanded their street address from 1117 Cambridge Street to 1113-1119 Cambridge Street, and changed their advertised name from American Engineering Company, reasonably indicative of a business expansion.
