- Dick Bueschel's various mentions of this game in his Encyclopedia of Pinball Volume 1 seem to conflict with each other at times, when trying to ascertain if both ABT and Seeburg manufactured this game along with Hutchison, or if they only distributed it for Hutchison. The text in the available ads continue this confusion. Interestingly, each ad or picture shows a game with subtle differences from the others, especially in placement and style of shooter knob. Because each ad also tends to identify one company over the others as manufacturer, a useful theory develops that these subtle differences between games actually indicate separate manufacturing. Until more conclusive information is identified to us, we have shown this game as being manufactured by all three companies, and have dedicated a given ad or picture to its most likely manufacturer based on a strict reading of its text.
The ad pictured here and in the Pinball Ad Catalog references ABT only in terms of the coin chutes for which they are known, and states that Seeburg brings its "worksmanship" to this game. The patent for this game was held by T.S. Hutchison, see Hutchison Engineering Company's 1932 'Scram!'.
