- ipdb.notes
- IPDB According to the book Pinball by Paul Zsolnay, this game was the first German machine with an illuminated display. The German word Weltflug has been translated for us to mean a flight around the world with several stops along the way. The backglass shows only the Atlantic Ocean. The first of two games pictured here has a cabinet that hinges open from the side for accessing the inside. Its pendulum tilt mechanism is mounted on the cabinet bottom. The second game only allows inside access by raising the playfield and the pendulum tilt is mounted to the playfield underside, not the cabinet bottom. These differences may be indicative of separate production runs with separate run dates. The second game is coined for old francs and operates on 220v. We don't know if all games came from the German factory as 220v or if this one was modified for France. The backglass when not lit shows only one airplane. An owner stated the backglass light animation consists of lighting this one airplane, plus nine more airplanes that can only be seen when lit, for a total of ten airplanes in the animation feature. We have pictures for only nine of the ten lit airplanes. used
