    ipdb.notes
    We previously listed 'Mandalay' as a converted game for Genco's 1948 'Trade Winds' but a Billboard ad shown here identifies Mandalay as Schneller's first conversion kit consisting of a backglass, new bumper caps, and three score cards. The backglass pictured in this listing is mounted in a tall backbox requiring wood shims above and below the glass to fill in the extra space. This is because Genco used two different backboxes for their Trade Winds game with one being taller than the other, requiring a modified Trade Winds backglass (taller). The game cabinet pictured here is the taller version and originally had the taller Trade Winds backglass in it. That glass was in poor shape so the owner replaced it with the regular-sized Mandalay glass, essentially performing a partial kit conversion. Because the two Trade Winds cabinets have very different artwork, we can expect to see examples of Mandalay games with either of the two cabinet artworks.
