- IPDB 10 balls for 25 centimes. Based on viewing pictures of this game, we make this assessment: It has a long wood cabinet that appears to be approximately 36 to 40 inches long. It has no legs but rests on a metal stand, typical of the 1930's. The upper and lower playfield aprons are blue in color. The lower playfield is completely open (no components to stop a ball) and shows a large radiating sun design above which appears the name LICA. The upper playfield has eleven long lanes in parallel that each feed a scoring hole at its lower end. Nine lanes each have what looks like a post in its middle to prevent ball passage and surely these posts lower at start of game. The playfield has an outer lane around its perimeter, starting from the shooter lane. The ball is shot into play to travel this lane counter-clockwise around the perimeter, and when the ball reaches the bottom arch of the playfield, the player can operate a large metal lever on the front of the cabinet which mechanically moves or bends this lower arch, thus influencing the direction that the ball takes as it finally enters the playfield area. The instructions on the apron are in French and translate as follows: LICA REGISTERED TRADEMARK INSERT 1 x 25 Cents coin to collect the 10 balls. PUSH the plunger to lift the ball. PULL STRONGLY the shooter and steer the balls using the guide. PULL GENTLY to ease the balls into the holes of the upper surface. THE BLACK BALL doubles the score. used
