    First pin table by this manufacturer and their second pin game. The title of the Billboard article shown here excluded their earlier counter game, Signal. According to the Encyclopedia of Pinball Vol 2, this was the first light-up game from this manufacturer. In this book, author Dick Bueschel writes the game name as one word, Lighthouse. This may be because printed references use the single word, which is the correct English spelling. No manufacturer name was evident on the game pictured here, but its ball shooter gauge appears identical to the one on Scientific Machine Corporation's 1936 'Jimmy Valentine' and so we have placed this picture here. Because the playfield shows the game name as two capitalized words, we have modified this listing name to match.
