Notes:

Beaded backbox side panels were used by Gottlieb on only a few different games during 1968-1969.

We previously listed this game with a date of January 1969. However, we received an ad that appeared in Cash Box magazine dated December 21, 1968 advertising this game on its inside back page. This page has no date on it, so we also show the ad with a portion of the preceding page, showing the magazine's date.

Interestingly, on the page, one can read an ad placed by Gottlieb seeking young coin machine engineers.
