| Notes: | We had understood from a Bally employee at a past Expo seminar that this game license had been a difficult one because singer Dolly Parton kept changing her mind about how she should be portrayed on the backglass, due to her crossover status at the time from country to pop. The Early Production cabinet side art in this listing depicts a bouffant-haired Dolly playing a guitar while the rest of the production run cabinets omit this image, making us wonder if this depiction had been rejected by the singer. Indeed, the flyer shows the singer standing next to the machine with a hairstyle more in line with her backglass portrayal than with the bouffant style that was removed from the cabinet. Believing it was Paul Faris who had spoken at that Expo, we asked him to comment for this listing. He replies:

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.
