Notes:

'Hurdy Gurdy' was also made for export to Italy. While the backglass and apron are different for export, the same playfield was used for both games. See Gottlieb's 1966 'Hurdy Gurdy (Italy)'.

We previously showed a date for 'Hurdy Gurdy' of June 1966. Gottlieb began advertising the replay version Gottlieb's 1966 'Central Park' in Billboard every week starting Apr-16-1966. The ad dated May-21-1966 page 60, was the first of those ads to carry the words: "Available in Add-A-Ball Model "Hurdy Gurdy".

We previously listed the artist as Roy Parker.
