    7 balls for 1 cent, or 10 balls for 5 cents. The player operates a knob on the cabinet front to rotate a ramp to capture a ball in the elevated upper playfield and deliver it to any of five high-scoring holes in an enclosed area below the ramp. This pivoting ramp is artfully included in the depiction of an airplane on the playfield and is referred to as the Propeller.

    Another game with a player-controlled upper playfield device is Bingo Novelty Manufacturing Company's 1932 'Scoop'.
