    Flippers (2), Pop bumpers (3), Passive bumpers (4), Slingshots (2), Swinging target (1). Clock advance in playfield. 3 or 5 ball play. Double match awards 2, 5, or 10 replays (operator adjustable). Maximum displayed point score is 1,999 points per player. This game featured "Styling of the 60's" with a new cabinet design having anodized aluminum trim and tapered tubular chromium steel legs. A shelf with cigarette holder allowed for placement of drinks and increased the length by six inches. The plywood bottom was increased from 1/4-inch to 3/4 inch in thickness. Williams used this cabinet design on several games during 1960-1961.
    ipdb.notes
    This is the first game with a moving target. This is the last game designed by Harry Mabs before his retirement on October 28, 1960. See Darts for Billboard articles about the introduction of this new-style cabinet to the pinball industry. We previously showed a DOM for this game of 12-05-1960. We have removed Steve Kordek as a co-designer for this game. In the late 1990's or so, he composed a list of games that he had designed while at Williams and this game is not one of them. The manufacturer's original playfield drawing (not shown here) is stamped ORIGINAL, dated 6/10/60 and is signed by (Harry) Mabs (drawn by him, with signature and initials). The scoring notations on this drawing look completely like Steve Kordek�s handwriting, not the shaky handwriting of Mabs' recent games, so he must have been helping Mabs. The manufacturer's Tool Room copy of this drawing (also not shown here) is stamped MASTER, drawn 08/31/60, and completed 9/9/60 by S. Ahlborn (Steve Ahlborn). Compare the playfield layout to Williams' 1961 'Kismet', designed by Steve Kordek.
