Our speculation may be groundless because we have pictures of a game with serial number 0120 showing it also does not have the biri-biri threshold jack, yet it does have the factory-installed Add-a-ball capability. The schematic indicated biri-biri was awarded at a fixed threshold of 4 million points. We speculate that the higher thresholds for this award would require an add-a-ball mode that this game did not have. Elsewhere on the ins ert, the factory labeled a place for a jack field for the operator to select one of ten score thresholds at which the biri-biri sound would play, but did not install the jack for it. That is probably why only the first five of the ten Ball-in-Play lights in the backbox insert were wired with lamp sockets, leaving blank holes for what would be balls 6 thru 10. At variance from the flyer, the factory did not wire a jack in this game to allow a choice between Replay or Add-a-ball modes, leaving it as Replay-only, a fact supported by the schematic that came with the game. Pictured in this listing is an Early Production game with serial number 0003 and having bumper caps with the 'radial blue arrows' design indicating '1000 points", just like the game in the manufacturer flyer. The artist's initials can be seen on the backglass, on the tail of the aircraft on the tarmac. Sound: electronic card and speaker with volume pot, knocker. Maximum displayed point score is 9,999,000 points. Reportedly, the clicking sound each reel makes is not noticeable during game play. The 'arrow advance' units under the playfield are actually the clever repurposing of score reel units, and a numberless score reel is attached to each one. A liberal/conservative operator option allows the arrows to advance two steps per switch hit instead of just one step. Maximum one Bonus Ball per ball played, and an unearned lit Special does not carry-over to the next ball. Getting the Special illuminates the words 'Bonus Ball' on the backglass and awards an extra ball. Advancing the Paris flight to New York lights the kick-out hole for Special. Advancing the London flight to New York lights the rollover buttons in upper left lane for 10x their value. Two rows of yellow arrows represent airline flights.
