ipdb.notes
IPDB Price when new was $89.50, or $74.50 without "Free Game" unit. A Billboard article shown here announces the game and explains its features. An interesting comment explains the Veeder counter located in the backbox. Genco owner Meyer Ginsburg is quoted to say that the counter "records all 'free plays' taken off by the location owner when he makes other awards." Here, Ginsburg acknowledges cash payouts made by the location. used

IPDB Spring bumpers (8), Kickers (2). 360-degree plunger skill shot. An adjustable dial recorder allows the operator to select the first score threshold for which free plays are awarded, from 4,800 to 6,000 points. Free plays are lit on the backglass. To play them off, the player pushes in a knob on the left front of cabinet. The location owner can also remove the replays for local payout or other compensation. used
