ipdb.notes
IPDB The Field Service Kit Instructions included in this listing indicates that only the upper star rollover will spot one letter in "G-O-L-D-B-A-L-L". However, a user reports that both upper and lower star rollovers will spot a letter, after the kit is installed. A gold playfield ball was also used in Chicago Coin's 1947 'Gold Ball'. used
ipdb.notable_features
IPDB Flippers (2), Pop bumpers (3), Slingshot (1), Standup targets (7), Star rollovers (2), Spinning target (1), Left crossover return lane. Side edges of backbox are beveled. Has two balls, one silver and one gold, but no multiball feature. The gold ball feature as issued from the factory uses an operator-adjustable percentage (1-15%) for the random release of the gold-colored ball into the shooter lane, awarded as an extra ball. When the gold ball is in play, all playfield scores are tripled. The field service upgrade kit converts the gold ball release rules to a skill feature instead of a percentage. The player must light G-O-L-D-B-A-L-L using the center standup target, the star rollovers, or the left return lane. The gold ball will be issued once the current ball has been lost and is considered an extra ball. used
