CAMELOT

Camelot
Bally
1970

Camelot by Bally was designed in October 1969 and manufactured in February 1970. It was the second Bally four-player featuring the new 3 Inch ‘king size’ flippers. Also, it was one of just two Bally four-players combining 4-digit scoring with the new large flippers. The two-player version with identical playfield and cabinet artwork (in different colors however) is Galahad, manufactured in January 1970. Like all Bally machines with the lift-up frame cabinet, it needs slightly shorter 71 cm, black painted legs.

BALLY HOO

Bally Hoo
Bally
1969

Bally Hoo was designed in March 1969 and produced in October 1969. It was the first Bally with 3-inch flippers (in this case in red), described as jumbo-flippers and one out of two Bally four-players combining 4-digit scoring with long flippers. Like most of Bally’s four-players from 1964 to 1972, it was also available in German language. The machine pictured on the US-flyer has chrome legs, but the serial-run had black legs (71cm) as usual since mid-1967 (when the new cabinet with lift-up frame was introduced).

MARINER

Mariner
Bally
1971

In September 1971, the game had been launched as 2-player game with slightly different graphics and a more greenish color scheme under the name of Sea Ray. Conversion to something similar like an Add-A-Ball is possible by adjusting the jumpers to provide free balls rather than free games. Games shipped to Germany and other European countries typically came with no bells and three coin chutes.
