ipdb.notes
IPDB All pictures presented here are of the same game, before and after an after-factory coat of brown paint was removed from the cabinet, rails, and apron. The owner stated the knocker operates not for replays but for the 10,000 point scoring, and he described it as producing a rapping sound instead of a loud knock. There are no bells in the game and he saw no holes where bracket mountings for bells would have been. He wondered if a previous owner had removed any bells and rewired the knocker from replays to scoring, but there is no schematic available to confirm this. Production start date: 10/27/50 Production end date: 12/05/50 We previously showed a date for this game of November 1950. used
