Let me acquaint you with California Coin's new
product, King Arthur's Round Table, a dedicated
single player rotary merchandiser.
I was one of the persons directly involved with the
development of King Arthur's Round Table
(KART). Th.is included electronic hardware and
software development and engineering of all
mechanical assemblies. So, lef s get started!
KITS
Also available is a single player rotary merchan-
diser kit designed to be installed in a standard
video game cabinet. However, due to size dimen-
sion restraints from cabinet to cabinet, the kits
will be released in versions specifically designed
for a particular group of cabinets.
One kit is designed to convert Atari cabinets
such as Arabians, Centipede, Dig Dug, Gravitar,
and Space Duel.
Another kit covers the series of cabinets pro-
duced by Williams such as Robotron. Joust,
MAIN FEATURES
Briefly, play features include:
• Operator adjustable arm motor speed
(instead of turntable speed to prolong the
life of.the motors) to adjust skill level. • Fully
(operator) adjustable Nudge feature from no
nudge to 100% of the playfl.eld surface to
adjust skill level. • Two independent coin
inputs with 16 different coin/credit op-
tions. • Playtime can be any of 8 levels

or unlimited. • Play can be limited to one try
or numerous tries within time remaining. •
Play can also be limited to one win or
numerous wins within time remaining. •
Also, instead of credits, game may be set so

multiple of 5 or 10 seconds up to 60 seconds
per coin with a maximum play time of 99
seconds (this also supports multiple coin
bonuses). • Coinage settings also support
bonus plays like 3 plays for 50 cents or 5

The kits will include an electronic control center,
a new power supply, and all wire harnesses, all
mechanical assemblies, and an artwork pack-
age including a header insert, control panel
overlay, control panel instruction decal, and a
Diorama insert (covers the interior of the cabinet
around the playfl.eld). All of these are oversize to

mended dimensions.

machine, automatically replaces capsules that
the player has won and has a capacity of over
300 plus - 2 inch capsules.
