Claude Verpy, a collector in France and a good friend of the manufacturer, passed along this information:

Christian Tabart told me that the "Brain" of L'Hexagone was Gottlieb's Genie and that he had 150 machines made. The design and the new rules were his own work, and the games were assembled and decorated in Italy by someone called Castagno in Milan for the technical part and by Baldazzi [The Pinball Shop] in Bologna for the art. All that was used from the original game was the prom, part of the wiring, electronic cards, and whatever parts that could be reused. All the rest of the necessary parts were available in Italy.

Shown in this listing are two stickers which Tabart affixed to the aprons of the machines he operated in bars to identify himself as the owner and to advertise his company.
