    ipdb.notes
    This is a conversion of Bally's 1938 'Bally Reserve'. The Vending Machine Company was the nation's largest distributor in the 1930s. The name "Vemco Special" seems generic and, in fact, was used by them for more than one game. From this, we suspect that Vemco converted other manufacturer's games from time to time and offered them for sale or as a promotional item. An earlier game has the same name but is non-electrical. See Vemco's 1934 'Vemco Special'.
