    ipdb.notes
    This is the Extended Play version of Gottlieb's 1957 'Flag-Ship'. Steve Young has a BOM for this game dated 1-8-57 showing the model number and listing a Delay Unit. We presume at least one was made, for the effort spent. For comparison, the BOM of the replay version is dated 11-28-56. Steve showed us an Engineering Drawing dated 1-18-57 for what would be the Instruction Card designated Model 124B. The finished card would state it is for ONE OR TWO PLAYERS, 3 BALLS 10 CENTS, 12 BALLS 25 CENTS, PLAYERS TAKE TURNS SHOOTING AS SHOWN ON BACK GLASS, A TILT BY ONE PLAYER DISQUALIFIES ONLY THAT PLAYER. For more information about Gottlieb's Extended Play prototype games, see Gottlieb's 1957 'World Champ (Extended Play Prototype)'.
