ipdb.notes
IPDB This is the original 3-lap model, measuring 18 inches by 32 inches. It is the first of Gottlieb's 'articulated' games. Gottlieb's facility on West Chicago Street became increasingly insufficient to meet production demands for their games. At the end of September, during production of this game, they moved to North Paulina Street. At that new location, they continued making this game but with a longer cabinet, as Gottlieb's 1933 'Speedway'. used
