"Quick Release" face plate
Dynamic, new design allows the
ticket dispenser to "quickly release"
from it's face plate on your cabinet
or ticket door, no tools needed.
Easily replace one dispenser with
another in just seconds. No tools
necessary! The new face plate
Breakdown by manufacturer, roughly in order of
production, with percentage of points from above:
Wms/Bally (72.0%, avg 9.0%). Sega (12.4%, avg
3.1%). Gottlieb (10.9%, avg 2.7%). Capcom (4.5%,
avg 4.5%).
retrotits any existing Deltronic
Labs machine.
Bottom METAL ticket guide
The extended, durable ticket guide
prevents curled tickets from catching.
Average for manufacturers represents average per-
centage of the points collected by their games. The
total percentages from all manufacturers do not
exactly equal 100% due to roundoff error.
The end results of all this is that games with low
distribution by January, 1996 (WHO dunnit,
Apollo 13, and Waterworld) may have lo~ point
otals not in keeping with general (r.g.p) opinion
of the games. The "Avg" statistic in the rightmost
column of the results is meant to provide a way of
identifying this effect.
