- ipdb.notes
- IPDB The following details distinguish this game from the earlier version Micropin's 1979 'Pentacup': � Backglass is plexiglas and shows a copyright date. � The head appears to be taller in height, with 4 rows of displays. � Playfield shows 'Micropin' above the words 'Pentacup Model'. � Slingshots are curved wireforms, not straight. � Playfield has printing below the drain rails. � The PC board contains four 2716 2K x 8 Eproms. � Rear of game has plexiglas windows showing several accounting features. These are the copyright dates on this version of which we are aware: 1979 - on playfield and a circuit board. 1980 - on both plexiglas windows on rear of game. 1981 - on front plexiglas 'backglass'. Based on the latest date above, and until we have more conclusive information, we list the manufacturer date as 1981. This version was owned, operated, designed, and manufactured by Micropin Corporation. It was sold exclusively by Elcon Industries, a wholly owned subsidiary of Micropin Corp. used
