    'Slap the Japs' was a conversion for Chicago Coin's 1940 'Strat-O-Liner'. The earliest mention we have found for this conversion kit is in Victory Game's ad in Billboard 10/03/1942 p79. According to this ad, this kit consisted of a backglass, bumpers caps, and score cards for operators to make their changeover "right on location in 5 minutes". The ad also indicates "for old and new games" but the conversion backglass is silkscreened to uniquely match only 'Strat-O-Liner'. Their last Billboard ad for this kit was 02/10/1945 p74.
