    ipdb.notes
    The Coin Machine Journal ad shown here advertises this game as having 11 balls with an all-steel cabinet measuring 35 1/2 inches long, 19 inches wide, and 35 1/2 inches high. Page 191 of the March 1932 Automatic Age lists Eagle Sheet Metal Mfg. Company of Chicago as having occupied booth 100 (at that year's Coin Machine Show in Chicago) and showing THE WIZARD BALL GAME "in Junior and Senior models." We do not know which model is the two game examples pictured here.
