third coin micro switch, on all their
• games since Harlem Globetrotters. I
stand corrected but I also found that
very few servicemen knew about
this feature. I'm glad that Bernie has
brought this to our attention.
Now that the error has been
apologized for, I would still keep the
wording the same: 'Next step would
be to add a· memory-clear switch
similar to Stern's.' An easy to use
switch would increase awareness
·and usage of this important feature.
It isn't a good idea to activate the
third coin micro switch by hand
because the trip wire is easily
damaged. And why carry a Susan B.
coin around. '1

In reference to the article by Frank
K. Seninsky on page 44 of your
February 1981 'magazine, the article
states, and I quote:
(In reference to Xenon) "Next
step would be to add a memory-clear
switch similar to Stern's."
Bally has had a memory-clear
switch, which is the third coin micro
switch as listed in our game manuals
since September of 1979 on the pro-
duction game Harlem Globetrotters.
