ipdb.notes
IPDB Can mount on wall or be placed on an optional console base having a lighted Plexiglas window. The parts manual shows a date of August 1972. If one of these games scores higher than 100 runs it is because the 10's carry-over switch has been manually bent. Collector Dennis Dodel tells us that he has seen five of these games and none of them has had the small circuit board needed to make the "Skill Gage" functional. This board is identified in the parts manual as "Shooter Tension Indicator P.C". We show one example that is missing this board and another example that has this board. The manufacturer�s flyer does not indicate this feature was an operator option to purchase for additional cost. Perhaps the mechanism often failed under constant use and was removed by the operator. For an example of the "Skill Gage" feature in operation, see the Additional Media section in this listing. used

Depending on how far the player pivots the shooter knob before releasing it, a number 1 through 5 will illuminate above the shooter knob as a gauge, misspelled on the game as a "Skill Gage". A solid-state sound card provides crowd noises when any hit is made and/or only when a home run occurs (operator option). Cabinet has walnut formica with aluminum trim. The optional base contains a notice from the manufacturer recommending that the operator add 50 lbs weight to the inside to prevent tipping. Two bolts and washers attach the game to the base. Maximum displayed score is 100 runs. Sound: 1 bell, sound card with speaker. Ball composition: 11/16 inch in diameter red marblette ball.
