- ipdb.notes
- A manufacturer ad in Automatic Age, Feb-1936, page 89 states the following:
Tricks Senior is colossal in size and uses extra large 1 1/2 inch balls. The Standard and Junior models are smaller in size and use smaller balls but have the same baffling action. Tricks uses no batteries.
The size of the Junior model, advertised as 40 inches by 21 inches, represents the footprint of the game on its legs, measured from the outside edge of one leg to the outside edge of the other leg. The cabinet itself, excluding legs, ball shooter, coin slide, and any other protuberance, measures approximately 37 1/2 inches long by 19 1/4 inches wide.
Price when new $39.50
We have no information about a Standard model.
