    ipdb.notes
    The pinball game pictured in the backglass is Gottlieb's 1950 'Bank-A-Ball'. Lonnie Mihin worked in the engineering lab at Alvin G doing cable layouts and mechanical assembly design. He tells us a bit about this prototype game:A production game was never made for Dual-Pool. I have seen the empty prototype cabinet that was nothing more than a test shell with only a couple of bumpers on it. A number of backglasses do exist for it, though. Rehman Marchant told us:[O]nly a few pieces were made. Programming was done and game was production ready but could not make it to market as could not compete with other manufacturer games at that time.
