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! -- "Now Groo does what Groo does best!" {decvax,ucbvax,ihnp4}!cithep!tim Tim Smith {decvax,ucbvax,cithep}!trwrb!wlbr!callan!tim ihnp4!wlbr!callan!tim
