Special Seminars introducing the
new SUPERMAN'™ Pinball were con-
ducted for Atari distributor techni-
cians. About sixty service repre-
sentatives attended the sessions in

offices. Fred McCord and the Field
Service staff, Bob Salmons and Russ
MacDonald, reviewed all of the new
technical features on the sensational
pinball game.

better prepare the distributor's service
personnel to work with Atari's new
game in the field,'' reported Fred
