Notes: | Careful study of the playfield in the flyer seems to show a quantity of eight flags flying over the amusement park. We do not know if these flags were installed throughout the production run, and many playfields that we have seen do not have all or any of these flags. The flags look fragile enough to not survive the life of the game. As well, some playfields may now contain reproduction flags that have since been made available.
The Ferris wheel on the playfield carries the ball for a portion of its rotation. This idea appears earlier on Allied Amusement’s 1935 ‘Barrel Roll’. |

Care Instructions
REPRODUCTION BACKGLASS CARE and RECOMMENDATIONS
- Never “triple thick” or apply any additional coatings to the backside of the glass.
- Alcohol, acetone, and most ‘rattle-can’ liquids must NEVER contact with the ink.
- If laying a glass down on its backside, always put down a towel or fabric to lay on.
- The glass stock is tempered – so avoid significant hot-cold temperature shifts.
- Be cautious of any impacts to the edges, such as setting the glass down on a concrete floor.
- Never allow ‘sitting’ moisture on the backside. After 5-7 minutes there is a risk of ink degradation.
- Do not spray cleaner directly onto the backside as prolonged contact with liquids may damage your glass.
- If you must clean the backside (bulb dirt, etc.) wipe with a pre-dampened cloth (water or Windex).
- After wiping, make sure the liquid is dried off (wipe all the way to dry). Do not allow any moisture to sit.
- Glass cleaner sprayed directly on the fronts is fine.
- Don’t let cleaner sit between the channels and your glass.
*Important info when purchasing Lift Bar Kits*
The liftbars are all made to the most common backglass width of 28.5 inches, just like they have been sold for decades in the hobby. IF you have a backglass that is of lesser width, the end-user is expected to cut/chop to the lesser length needed.
PLEASE NOTE: These are for 1/8″ -or- 4mm (metric) backglasses. Sorry, these will not fit on “thick style” 3/16″ or 5mm backglasses, either original or CPR repro (roughly any glass for a game 1979 or prior). We do not offer 3/16″ style liftbars at this time.
