Notable Features
Flippers (2), Pop bumpers (4), Kick-out holes (2). 5 balls per game. There are ten numbered lights on the playfield that look similar to the round passive bumpers found on later games but actually are plastic housings functioning as light shields. Each housing has no moving parts except for a switch in its side opening, to be hit by the ball in play. The ball never comes in contact with any part of the housing. On this game, these covered lights are numbered in pairs and all are illuminated at start of game. Hitting one light of a numbered pair causes both of them to go out. When all numbered lights have been turned off in this way, the next letter in ARIZONA lites up on both the playfield and backglass, and all numbers light up again. Each of the four lit Y-U-M-A rollovers in lower playfield light up the corresponding letter on the backglass when hit.
Historical Notes
The flipper design consists of a rubber ring stretched between two metal posts attached to opposite ends of a flat steel bar. The two flippers are mounted reversed, having their stationary ends on the inside, and, unlike impulse flippers, can be held in the up position. Pressing either button on sides of cabinet activates both flippers simultaneously. On this game, the manufacturer refers to the flippers as "Control Kickers". This game has the same playfield layout as United's 1949 'Utah' and United's 1949 'Tampico'.
