IPDB The backbox and lower cabinet shown here were submitted by different owners and were not attached to each other. The lower cabinet had a 1947 license tag stapled onto it. One bumper cap (not pictured) had an apparent letter "T" on it. The instruction card contained this typed text: Lighted "Special When Lit" Bumpers Award 1 Replay. Lighted "Extra Special When Lit" Holes and Rollovers Award 5 Replays. 1 replay for 48,000. 1 replay for 51,000. 1 replay for every 1000 thereafter. According to the Encyclopedia of Pinball Volume 2 page 230, this is the last game Gottlieb made with existing components prior to converting to 100% wartime work. We found a Billboard ad dated Feb-27-1943 page 126 where a distributor identified a Gottlieb 'Liberty' for sale as a revamp. The word 'revamp' seems to be used loosely by some distributors to mean either reconditioned (cleaned up but not converted) or converted so there may be no factual conflict here as to whether Gottlieb's 'Liberty' was an actual wartime conversion performed by Gottlieb. If it was, we do not know the source game used to convert it. Also, it is possible the distributor erroneously meant Sullivan-Nolan's 1942 'Liberty' which was a converted game. Compare this playfield with that of Gottlieb's 1945 'Stage Door Canteen', which was the first game Gottlieb made once they resumed pinball manufacturing. used
