    ipdb.notes
    'Juggle Ball' was an early example of a machine with player control - a movable rod to manipulate the ball. Optional stands were available at additional cost, either a matching wood stand or a steel stand. The cabinet measures 34 inches long, 17 inches wide, 9 1/2 inches high in the back, and 7 inches high in the front. The control flipper handle and penny coin mechanism increase the length to approximately 37 inches long. Two other early games having player control are Hercules Novelty's 1932 'Double-Shuffle (Junior)' and Bingo Novelty Manufacturing Company's 1932 'Scoop'.
