- IPDB A score exceeding 1,599,000 points reverts to 1,500,000. Mark Shubel was a Program Manager for Numax Electronics of Hauppauge, New York, a defense contractor that made missile components and weapon systems. They also made pinball machine electronics for Coffee-Mat Amusement Division, and Mark states their first commercial product was Coffee-Mat's 1976 'Wipe-Out'. He has provided the images shown here, including the manufacturer plate showing serial number 00210. We have no date for this game but we know it was made prior to 12/23/1978, the earliest date on Mark�s hand-written list of high scores achieved. This manufacturer has issued a flyer for this game showing this cabinet style: Game Status Indicators on Playfield Card Holder Score displays, Player Up, Ball in Play, Credit, Tilt, Match, Game Over lights are shown on card holder. Three red or yellow lights on each side of cabinet�s top surface. Dual-slot coin door is made of steel with lock on right side. Advertised as 42 inches long, 30 1/4 inches wide, 40 inches high with optional pedestal base, 28 3/4 inches high without pedestal base, and weighs 170 lbs. A Coffee-Mat flyer (not shown here) shows these features. A Century Consolidated Industries flyer also shows these features. See also Century Consolidated Industries Company's 1978 'Star Battle'. We don�t know the relationship between Coffee-Mat and Century Consolidated Industries Company, but their �Star Battle� games are practically identical. From Mark Shubel�s information above, it appears Coffee-Mat preceded CCI. Each company put out flyers advertising this game. Coffee-Mat also made coffee machines. used
