ipdb.notable_features
IPDB 5 balls for 5 cents. Scoring bumpers (14). Twelve bumpers are numbered, the other two bumpers score points towards a 'reserve' of points that can carryover from game to game if not awarded. The 12 numbered bumpers lite at start of game. Hitting a numbered bumper turns its light off and lites the corresponding number on the backglass. Hitting all 12 numbered bumpers scores the reserve. The #7 bumper returns one outball into play each time it's hit. At start of each game, a pair of numbered bumpers may be spotted for the player, but not always. Also, the spotted pair of numbers will change from game to game. Any reserve points awarded would be paid off in cash by the location back then, as there is no actual coin payoff mechanism in the game. Backglass measures 21 by 19 inches. Cabinet advertised as 44 inches long by 22 inches wide. used
