- ipdb.notable_features
- Snap traps (3), Ball diverters (2). When a ball falls into the winning hole (French: gagnant), the player pulls the knob on the right side of the cabinet for a token to fall into the payout cup below it. The two metal ball diverters are shaped like sailboats and may pivot but their value at the very bottom of the playfield is questionable when all routes they create lead to the outhole trough. This pin table measures approximately 105 cm long, 50 cm wide, and from 26 to 31 cm high, not including legs.
Instructions are written in French.
- ipdb.notes
- Reportedly, the art d�co paint on the cabinet (and legs) is typical of French games of the 1930's.
These instructions were from a game not shown here, which we have translated to English:
1) Mettre 0.25F dans la fente
Insert a 0.25F coin into the slot
2) Poussez le bouton de gauche a fond pour faire disparaitre les billes et laissez revenir a vous
Push the left button at full stroke to make the balls disappear and relief pressure. (let the button return to you)
3) Poussez le bouton de droite pour faire monter chaque bille
Push the right button to lift the ball into play
4) Lancez la bille en faisant le reglage d�apres la reglette graduee
Launch the ball using the graduated gauge
5) Quand une bille tombe dans le trou gagnant tirez le bouton place sur le cote droit pour avoir le jeton
When the ball drops into the winning hole, pull the button placed on the right side (of the cabinet) to get the token.
In a small picture that we saw of another example of this game (not shown), two parallel metal guide rails enclose the three snap traps into a long center lane and the playfield has six mechanical diverters shaped like sailboats.
