Notes: | Designer Bill Pfutzenreuter told us that about a dozen (or less) sample games were made, followed by approximately 100 prototype games, before regular production began. Up to this point in manufacture, the Dalek he We asked Pfutz if he was aware of a way for new owners of this game to discern if their moving Dalek he In this listing is a playfield identified to us as a prototype "machine number 2". It has several artistic differences as compared to the production playfield, including: The doctor's cape in center playfield is a solid color, not tartan. Some of the Daleks are a different color with different ball colors. The upper right ramp decal is one red arrow, not two yellow arrows. The playfield is Diamond Plate. The game in the manufacturer's flyer has a ramp decal showing the single red arrow while all regular production examples in this listing show the two yellow arrows on this ramp. Also pictured in this listing is the upper playfield from the game with serial number 060031 which has the single red arrow. Based on the many other serial numbers identified in this production run, we have labeled this game as Early Production. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
