Notes:

According to the flyer, this was the first machine to feature spinning targets.

Games in Italy may have plastic backglasses showing the word 'Flipper' missing from the yellow logo normally indicating 'A Gottlieb Flipper Skill Game'. In the example game shown here, located in Italy, the players' scores were modified to allow scores higher that 1,999 points and the quality of this modification shows this was not done by Gottlieb. We don't know the value of this modification as the playfield scoring appears to have been unchanged. The cabinet was repainted and the serial number is unknown.
