Carrying
case
Platt has designed a line of molded
and soft/ molded carrying cases
expressly to help solve a problem
both consumers and industry con-
stantly encounter : how to transport
safely and display attractively a wide
variety of products: mini-computers,
test equipment , calculators, cameras ,
microphones , CB's, cassette players,
aerosols , etc .
These cases all come with three
pieces of die-cut , shock absorbent
polyfoam that can easily be cut to
firmly house and protect any number
of products . Five molded sizes and
two soft/ molded sizes .

With a timely and colorful space
theme Gottlieb's new four-player
solid state pinball game , Count
Down , went on display this month at
the company's distributors in the
United States and worldwide.
The game is characterized by wide
open, vertical playfield action which
tests the player's reflexes to the
utmost. Its key feature is the
interesting new Count Down bonus
which allows the player to tally his
bonus while the ball is still in play ,
permitting a build up of additional
bonus . The player , therefore , is not
restricted to any maximum bonus
limit .
Playfield action centers on four
sets of drop targets strategically
located , which light "color match"
bonus multipliers sequentially . As a
player knocks down all of the
individual targets within any single
color group he achieves the potential
for an extra ball. When two color
groups are knocked down a special
scoring rollover is lit .
The game also features a balanced
four-flipper layout. The flipper place-
ment in relation to the other game
elements makes even the most
difficult shot obtainable through skill
rather than luck .
The Valley Company of Bay City,
Michigan has introduced a sitdown
pinball game called Spectra IV .
"This new coin game marks a new
era for us here at Valley ," notes
Chuck Milhem , president , "because
it means we're moving forward to
expand our markets and the op-
portunities for both the company and
its distributors ."
Among the features on Spectra IV
are manual rotation of 360 degrees
in either direction , allowing players to
remain comfortably seated during
play ; average score display and
independent cash box , advanced
lamps and circuitry , complete con-
trol , adjustments inside the coin
door ; one-to-five -balls-per-game ad-
justment, plus self-diagnostic system .
The table - sleek black and gleam-
ing silver design - also offers the
convenience and attractiveness of
four player design , high score and
match play , variable price and credit
display , adjustable tone and volume
control , and bonus ball or game set.
