Notes:

The backglass carries Gottlieb's famous phrase: Amusement Pinballs, as American as Baseball and Hot Dogs!

The Sample playfield matches the one shown in the manufacturer's flyer. However, the production playfields differ from them in having a small beehive lamp in each lower corner of the playfield. Also, the arrow artwork between the flippers was modified to make the outhole awards more noticeable to the player. As well, the words "Off Pop Bumpers" were added to the arrow probably because when the Sample games were at test locations, it was learned that players needed to know that it was normal for the outhole to turn off the pop bumpers.
