Notes:

The whitewood shown in this listing has an orange Hold Bonus insert, instead of a green one like the production games have. The colors of the 'volt-meter' inserts may be different, too. The two arrow inserts in the upper left area are positioned the same as in the flyer and the operations manual, but different than production games. The parts manual illustration has three arrow inserts in this area.
