- According to a magazine ad pictured here, the following games could be converted to become 'Laura':
Bally's 1940 'Attention' (or maybe Exhibit's 1940 'Attention')
Bally's 1940 'Mascot'
Bally's 1941 'Air Force'
Bally's 1941 'Broadcast'
Bally's 1941 'Cross-Line'
Bally's 1941 'Flicker'
Bally's 1941 'Mystic' (or, less likely, Pacific Manufacturing Corporation's 1937 'Mystic')
Bally's 1941 'Pan-American'
Bally's 1941 'Play Ball'
Bally's 1941 'Pursuit'
Bally's 1941 'Silver Skates'
Bally's 1941 'Speed Ball'
Bally's 1941 'Trailways'
Bally's 'Crystal'
'Laura' has the same playfield and backglass layout as this conversion: Williams' 1945 'Flat-Top'. The magazine ads we have for each game show their cabinet fronts share the same design but perhaps different colors.
The cabinet pictured in this listing had has paint removed, revealing a different art design underneath, but neither design matches the one shown in the Coin Machine Digest ad.
A Hollywood movie, "Laura", directed by Otto Preminger, came out in October 1944.
