A Free Parts Kit

Spare Parts Kit
SUBJECT
Beginning with the Simpsons pinball game, we
will include a free parts package with every game
purchased.
These parts are not your usual fuses and light
bulbs but a wide variety of mechanical and
electrical components. The parts are provided
not because we anticipate problems with the
game, but over a long period of time one or more
~ of these parts may fail and it is always handy to
• have them right inside the game.

It's hard to find a distributor open at 9:00 p.m.
on a Friday night. The combined value of these
parts if they were purchased separately would be
~about $50.00. Once again Data East Pinball is
trying to give you more for your money. The
special parts package is installed, sealed and
serial numbered. They can be found on the
inside of the cabinet.
