ipdb.notes
IPDB This is not the payout version. Circa 1932. There are no copyright dates or other markings on the coin slide. The owner had not looked inside the cabinet for any possible information. Dick Bueschel's Encyclopedia of Pinball Vol 1 does not include the name 'Whiz Ball' in its exhaustive list of 1930-1933 pinball machines. However, except for lacking a payout unit on the cabinet front, this game is identical to the payout game Whiz Ball's 1932 'Whiz Ball Jack Pot' including having a stamped serial number in the upper right ball arch. This game has a 'Whiffle' playfield. A similar playfield is found on Unknown Manufacturer's 'Nerts'. used
