- IPDB The front handle cannot turn to reset the balls without a coin dropped into its mechanism by the player. Once the handled is turned, the coin drops from the mechanism to the coin box, disabling the handle from turning again until the next inserted coin drops into its mechanism. The owner of this game points out several characteristics to suggest it is a prototype. They are: � The playfield has hand-painted score numbers. � All of the mechanisms are rough-welded parts. No welds are smoothed out. There are actual burn marks on some of the wood where parts were welded inside of the game. � There were a few extra loose parts in the game (not shown here) that matched up to the installed parts. They were only slightly different-looking. � There is a number "01" or "10" marked in chalk on the inside back panel. � There is a number "9" in parenthesis on the underside of the playfield and on the board that pushes the posts upward. � The faucet handle (with a letter 'C" for cold) on the cabinet front might be used on a prototype, but not on a production game (assuming it was not added by a subsequent owner). � The game was found in St. Louis where the company was located. � The game seems to have no previous documentation of its existence. � The inside cabinet bottom shows large circles, hand-drawn in pencil. The manufacturer�s only other game of which we are aware, Ro-Lay, has a round playfield. Perhaps this board had been used in the making of that game. used

- IPDB 10 balls for 5 cents. Trap holes (14). The bottom of each trap hole is actually the top surface of a movable post. To start each game, the player inserts a coin and turns the front handle, causing all posts to rise upward and push out all trapped balls from the previous play. The balls roll down the playfield to the ball serve trough to be shot into play. Cabinet measures approximately 36 1/2 inches long, 17 1/2 inches wide, 37 1/2 inches high in front, and 41 inches high in back. used
