Notes: | Our available Bally documentation shows the model number of this electronic game is 1187, not 1187-E. Knocking down the Satisfaction target plays "Satisfaction" tune. There are two color versions of the lower cabinet of this game. The manufacturer's flyer, our Early Production pictures, and other pictured examples all show a cabinet with the band's name in blue letters and a blue tongue trademark. The cabinet front shows the design of the Union Jack, the national flag of the United Kingdom. However, the trademarked tongue was supposed to be red and the Union Jack's colors were incorrect. These cabinets had the red and blue reversed from what they should have been. This was corrected during production to show the band name in red letters, a red tongue trademark, and the Union Jack with its proper colors. Artist Greg Freres told us that, when artists did the stencil art, they seldom got to see a proof before production began. He intended the tongue to be red on all games and the cabinet front was intended to be the Union Jack. All the backboxes in the production run are painted the same and Freres believes they are correct to have more red than blue. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
