- ipdb.notes
- This machine is not a pinball. It is a marionette machine. This listing and pictures are included for clarification purposes only. Our September 21, 1956 date was obtained from Williams documentation where the name of this machine was shown as either "Peppy", "Peppy the Puppet", or "Peppy the Clown". Most Billboard articles and the ads placed by distributors referred to this machine as "Peppy the Clown".
The recorded music used for this machine was produced by Universal Recording Corporation (per Billboard Dec-22-1956 page 75). The tape cartridges themselves were made by Cousino, Inc. (per Billboard Dec-8-1956 page 18). Williams had planned to release a special Christmas tape cartridge with holiday songs (per Billboard Dec-1-1956 page 78).
