Notes:

It was not uncommon for local operators in some European locales 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. One image in this listing shows this operator modification.

We previously showed a date for this game of April 1971. The new date is per Gottlieb documentation.
