ipdb.notes: IPDB 'Scandals of '42' was a converted game for Genco's 1939 'Follies of 1940'. Initially, Glickman would perform the conversion for the operator, adding a new backglass and new bumpers, and repainting the cabinet. By June of 1943, they advertised it only as a conversion kit, where the operator could order the backglass and new plastic bumpers, or just the backglass. The earliest reference we have found for this game is a small ad in Billboard Mar-7-1942 page 75 where Glickman listed only the name of the source game that they needed to make this converted game. Their subsequent ads in June 1942 identified this conversion by name. We have seen ads in 1943 issues of Billboard where a reseller of reconditioned games spelled the name as follows: Scandals, 1942 (BB 4/17/43 pg 67) Scandals of 1942 (BB 9/11/43 pg 71) In a Cash Box ad dated June-22-1943 page 56, Glickman listed the name as just "Scandals", wisely dropping the year reference. We do not know if they ever did show the year "1942" on the initial backglasses themselves. used
