Notable Features

Flippers (4), Slingshots (4), Hanging targets (8), Stop magnets (2), Spinning post (1). Player presses button on lockdown bar to cause the center ball shooter, which does not oscillate, to propel the ball into play from the outhole up through the flipper gap. When either the sun target or moon target is hit, a magnet under the playfield freezes the ball in front of the hit target until bonus points are counted down. Maximum displayed point score is 99,990 points per player. On the backglass, the astrologers have "cufflinks" monogrammed with "N.C." and "S.K.", a probable reference to Norm Clark and Steve Kordek. Cufflinks with identical initials are also found on the backglass of Williams' 1966 '8 Ball'.
