- IPDB According to the Encyclopedia of Pinball Vol 1, Bally had sought an injunction to stop copycat manufacturers from making copies of their Bally's 1932 'Goofy (Junior)'. One of the copycat games was Genco's 1932 'Jiggers (Jr)' and another was Ace Novelty's 1932 'Who's Goofy'. Ace Novelty then cleverly escaped Bally's injunction by stopping their copycat game "Who's Goofy" and instead started making Ace Novelty's 1933 'Jiggilo', a copy of the Jiggers game. Thus, Ace was now making a copy of a copy, and was no longer directly copying the Bally game. Based on this information, it's possible that this December 1932 conversion kit was Ace's initial response to the injunction, to address their "Who's Goofy" games that they had sold prior to the injunction, while they soon ramped up to a full production game, Ace Novelty's 1933 'Jiggilo'. used
