"Sing Along" by Gottlieb is my favorite.  The one at Caltech is set
at 5 balls / game, and 3 games/quarter.  Pays off in games instead
of extra balls, too.  Great when tripped!

There was a "Northstar" at Caltech that had manual ball loading.  It
had five balls, so you could have all five in play at once if you
wanted.  Things are real frantic when all five balls head for the
flippers at once!  I think this was also a Gottlieb.

I saw a wierd one called "Orbitar" in an arcade in Pasadena ( Pak-Mann
arcade, for those of you fortunate(?) enough to be in Pasadena ) that
had rotating rubber disks instead of bumpers.  The disks sit at the
bottom of devpressions in the playing surface, so the ball comes in,
spirals down the depression, hits the rubber, and is spun around
back out of the depression.  It is bizarre!
