ipdb.notes
IPDB See Darts for Billboard articles about the introduction of this new-style cabinet to the pinball industry. Meredith Willson�s The Music Man opened on Broadway in 1957, and won six Tony awards, including Best Musical. It was made into a Hollywood movie in 1962. We have removed Steve Kordek as a 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 10/27/59 and is signed by (Harry) Mabs. The manufacturer's Tool Room copy of this drawing (also not shown here) is stamped MASTER, drawn 3/17/60, completed 3/29/60. used

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. used
