    ipdb.notes
    Available in 5-ball or 10-ball non-payout versions, or in a 2-ball payout version having a deeper cabinet. The Automatic Payout, Automatic Payout Recorder, and Total Games Played Recorder were available at additional cost. The "Magic Brain" score totalizer in this game was a electrified version of Lyn Durant�s invention which first appeared on C. & D. Mfg. Co.'s 1933 'Lone Eagle' and for which he shared credit for it on this game with Ken C. Shyvers. Perhaps not coincidentally, this game displayed balls not yet played, just as Lone Eagle did.
