Notes:

This is the Italian add-a-ball model of the US game Gottlieb's 1966 'Hurdy Gurdy'. The same playfield is used for both games and shows Model 227 under its upper apron. However, the schematic of this Italian version shows the model number 227 IT.

The replay version is Gottlieb's 1966 'Central Park'.

It was not uncommon for local operators to modify games for 5-digit scoring. Most often, the new digit was a fake "0" but in some cases they added a real counter.

We previously listed the artist as Roy Parker.
