- ipdb.notes
- Same playfield as Treff Automaten's 'Treff-Gloria (speedboat)' while the backglass is very similar to Treff Automaten's 'Treff Nixe'. Both backglasses show a woman water skiing on a wide ski board, being pulled by an unseen motorboat. A populated beach is in the background. Above the woman, the name 'Treff-Gloria' (hyphenated) is displayed on a banner apparently held by the woman's raised hand. The playfield shows activities such as swimming, driving, polo, and golf. The lower apron shows the name without a hyphen, as 'Treff Gloria'.
We previously showed a date for this game of February 1955 but we have no confirmation of that date. Paul Zsolnay's book, Pinball, first published in German in 1992, shows a picture of this game with the lady water skier on the backglass and captions this picture as "Treff Gloria," made by Lignum GmbH (1953). We have no explanation for this caption. The game schematic is printed with the words, "Shaltplan - Treff-Gloria".
