    5 balls for 5 cents. Spring bumpers (15). Buy-backs at 5 cents each. Hitting each of fifteen numbered playfield bumpers lighted the corresponding number on the backglass, with a random bumper scoring a replay when hit. Lighting all numbers caused every bumper to score a replay when hit. Cabinet advertised as 44 inches long and 22 inches wide.
    ipdb.notes
    Game has option for free play or novelty play. Triumph Model 1 (production Model Number 352) allows up to 5 buy-backs (operator option). We have seen no documentation that Bally actually referred to this game as "Model 1" but we assume they eventually did, once they began producing the game that Bally president Ray Moloney announced as "Model 2". Model 2 (production Model Number 353) was limited to 2 buy-backs maximum. See also Bally's 1940 'Triumph (Model 2)'. The images presented here and credited to Paul Moore have been confirmed to be a Model 1 game with its Instruction Card referencing 5 buy-backs. The option plug under the playfield of this game is wired to allow from 0 to 5 buy-backs based on its positioning in the jack, as explained in the TRIUMPH-4004 option sheet in our Files section. All other game images presented here are unconfirmed as to which Model they are. We invite additional information from owners of Triumph and whether your game is limited to two buy-backs or has all five. We notice that the Promotional Photo and February 1940 Billboard ad shown here each show the game with a knob positioned to the left of the ball lift and shooter knobs. However, this "third knob" is not seen on any of the actual photographs of this game that we have encountered. It�s possible that the knob was drawn by an artist and did not find its way to production. On the backbox inserts pictured here, the factory did not install lamp sockets for the five holes made for them to illuminate the Diamond numbers 1 through 5 that are silkscreened on the backglass. Diamond numbers 6 through 10 do have factory-wired sockets. Per the instruction card, these diamonds are supposed to light up to award Special. On these games, the player likely would never know that the five diamonds on the left side of the backglass were initially designed to illuminate but never will.
