- 'World Series 1943' is a conversion of Genco's 1941 'Seven Up'. A date printed on the score card indicates 10-15-43.
This conversion shows 'Home Runs' decals each covering the original playfield word, "Diamond". The two-tone bumper caps have baseball player decals on them.
The only general illumination lamp in the backglass is found behind the "1943".
The earliest mention we have found for this conversion kit is in Victory Games' ad in Billboard 10/30/1943 p61 where it held the headlined position in the ad. It states:
Here is the ONLY BASEBALL conversion available for one of the greatest games ever built. Replays are awarded on HITS, HOME RUNS, BATTING AVERAGE and by lighting the nine BALL PLAYER BUMPERS. Here is what you get � A new score glass with a 12-color Baseball Score. A new set of oversize, two-tone bumper caps with Ball Players in Color. New instructions and score cards. Nothing else to buy. No tools required. $9.50 each, cash with order.
This kit was replaced by Victory Games' 1944 'World Series'.
