Notes:

Included in our Files Section is the manufacturer's envelope and contents for their Extra Ball Feature from a game in Italy with serial number 122061. This game has an intact replay wheel, unusual for a game in Italy. The envelope is the size of the cashbox and was found stapled under it. Curiously, this envelope is stamped as "Add-A-Ball" but the operation functions as an Extra Ball feature. It contains score cards marked "N.Y." which we presume means games with this envelope were shipped to New York. The usual manufacturer's envelope, which only included the normal manual, full schematic, replay window mask, tilt dampener, and the usual replay score cards, was stapled on the inner left side of the cabinet.
