Historical Notes
Jerry Vanderstelt did the cabinet, backbox, and the backglass. O'Connor and Hudson did the playfield and the plastics (the "hard parts" according to O'Connor). The first run of machines produced reportedly totaled 4017 units, but multiple later runs produced the machine again in smaller batches.
