Speedway



Version: 1
Category: VP 8.x Recreations

Author(s): Patrick & tiltjlp

Description:
The race cars really move, which is cool for a 1930s Flipperless.
Notable Features: 5, 7, or 10 balls, for 1 cent or 5 cents play. Playfield animation. Ball landing in any pocket advances corresponding car up to 5 laps. Ball landing in Skill Hole advances all cars. Advertised as a mechanical marvel, this game uses no electricity.

Notes: This game was made right after Gottlieb's move to Paulina Street, and is a longer version of Gottlieb's 1933 'Speedway', measuring 18 inches by 36 inches. The additional length allowed the cars to advance 5 laps instead of the previous version's 3 laps. The upper playfield now includes chromium-plated ball rails and the name 'Speedway' is no longer at the very top.
