- Cast aluminum flippers (2), Standup targets (4). No slingshots. Woodrail cabinet. Coin slot takes old English threepenny pieces.
Without the backbox to fully confirm, game play has been analyzed by the owner as follows: the object of the game is to score (to 'light up' on the backbox, presumably) numbers 1 through 8 in both yellow and orange. Numbers need not be scored in sequence. The two rollovers hidden beneath the center "?" plastic determine whether a visible rollover scores for yellow or for orange. Once all the numbers are scored for both colors, power is then applied to a wire which, unfortunately, was found not connected to anything but ends close to the wires which went up to the backbox.
Three multi-pin connectors join the playfield to the relay board, and two other connectors connect the relays presumably to the missing backbox. There is no evidence in the lower cabinet to suggest any form of numerical scoring was used in the backbox.
- ipdb.notes
- This game was located in England when we saw it. It is likely a one-player game but we cannot know because the backbox was missing in the pictures that we saw. The backbox may contain player-up mechanisms. The cabinet front has a ball lift knob and a beehive shooter escutcheon. The name of the game is displayed in an arc in the upper playfield following the curve of the upper ball arch. The manufacturer name is displayed on the lower playfield, highlighting the initials P A L. The lower playfield apron is wood and has no paper attachments on it. It is a solid piece of wood with no viewing window to see any below-playfield ball trough. No picture of the underside of the playfield was made available to us.
No date for this UK game but electrical flippers were first used in 1947 and woodrail cabinets were phased out in the USA by 1961. There are eighteen relays and some or all of them had dates stamped on them. The owner stated the latest date on these relays is JUL 19 1956 and we include a picture of it.
