- This is not a pinball machine. This is a device called an "electronic upright" or just "upright". Also called a "flasher type" slot machine. It does not payout cash. The credit meter increments instead, allowing for continued play without insertion of additional coins.
Game could be ordered with a choice of �lever-arm with ratchet action� (as Model 626, listed in Bally documentation as the "handle console") or with a �jumbo-size polished push-button� (as Model 626-B, listed in Bally documentation as the "button console"). Each model would be equipped with operator�s choice of nickel, dime, or quarter play. Both have the same schematic number W-885-2d.
Bally announced both models in Cash Box, May-9-1959, page 72 as having shipped to distributors �this week.�
