    ipdb.notes
    Bally's Numerical List of Machines identifies this Model 1030 game as a "3 Card-6 Ball Bingo" but does not indicate a schematic wiring part number. Based on our inquiries, this 1974 game listing apparently exists only on the strength of its mention on Bally game lists, indicating this Model 1030 was released on 10-29-74. However, we have not encountered verifiable examples of 'Tahiti' having this model number and stamped with a 1974 date. Until then, we presume the images we have are of the 1978 game and we have moved them to that listing. See also Bally's 1978 'Tahiti'. A solid state version is Bally's 1979 'Tahiti'. If anyone encounters this game with no date below the backbox or lower cabinet serial numbers, or having a date prior to 1979 (anywhere from 1974 to 1978), please contact us. We seek full backbox, playfield, and cabinet pictures, including a clear close-up of the serial number and the area below it where a date would be.
