    7 balls for 1 cent, or 10 balls for 5 cents. Trap holes (13). A large metal scoop at top of playfield rotates under player control to capture ball in play and, with skill, delivers it to any of three habitrails which then raises the ball off of the playfield before depositing it in a trap hole. The cabinet was advertised as 32 inches long by 16 inches wide. The cabinet pictured here measured 32 1/4 inches long, 18 inches wide, and 9 3/4 inches high at the back. It weighed to be approximately 42 lbs.
