Lift truck
The Qwik-Lift electric hand truck
from Tony Team Industries, Inc. of
Minneapolis, Minnesota, can lift a
thousand-pound load up to 52
inches high, transport it across a
wa rehouse, set it in a truck from
either dock height or ground level,
cl imb stairs, and twist through
doors 30 inches wide . In short, it
can go practically anywhere you can
go .
The hand truck is of steel
construction with ball bearing
slides, heavy-duty wheels and dolly
casters, automatic screw brake,
channeled wiring , pivoted lifting
plate, and heavy-duty non-spill
battery.
Its features include a 27-inch wide
lifting platform , a twisting pivot,
two-load cinch straps, three heavy-
duty power relays-twin points, and

Profitouch
Selector
A new system for instant adjust-
ment for 25-cent, 35-cent, or
50-cent play has been announced by
The Valley Company of Bay City,
Michigan . Called the Profitouch
Selector, the system is available
only on the company's drop chute
version of the popular Big Cat co in
table line. It is now standard on the
Big Cat and exclusive w ith Valley.
The Profitouch Selector permits
the operator to change the required
coin count quickly and easily just by
sliding a switch to one of three coin
positions. This allows adjustments
for regular play, for special groups,
for tournament, or other changing
needs. The system also operates on
" overs;" when it's set for 35-cent
play, for example, and 50 cents is
deposited, the unit releases the balls
for play.
The system is versatile, as well, as
it is interchangeable with coin units
on existing Valley drop chute tables.
The only change needed - in addi-
t ion to the switch mechanism - is
the use of a double-faced plate (with
dime and quarter slots) to handle
coins needed for the different cost
levels.

Triple play
Hunting witches can be fun , and
so can shooting bears and rac-
coons. Atari' s latest addition to the
video game market, Triple Hunt,
combines these three into one game
package and offers it in two
different cabinet sizes.
The game, Triple Hunt, is avail-
able in a compact single cabinet as
well as the arcade-style double
cabinet. The new smaller version
gives the location versatility with
this three-in-one shooting game and
reduces the overall space require-
ment by about 70 percent.
The three games included in the
Triple Hunt package are Witch
Hunt, Hit the Bear, and Raccoon
Hunt.
In Witch Hunt, players try to hit
ghosts appearing in the windows of
a haunted house, and shoot the
witches and bats that fly across a
stormy sky.
Hit the Bear is a modern video
version of the classic bear shooting
game. A large bear and a small bear
walk through a lush 3-D forest; and
when their bullseyes are hit, the
wounded bear roars, rears up, and
turns.
In Raccoon Hunt, busy raccoons
climb trees in an autumn forest
scene. The more raccoons the
player hits, the faster they climb to
add to the challenge.
With a cross-hair target appearing
on the screen for accurate sighting,
players have unlimited rapid fire rifle
shots. All three games include
three-dimensional visual effects
with blacklighted colors and realistic
animation. The high score is dis-
played after the game is over.
Atari's built-in self-test system on
Triple Hunt assists in trouble
shooting and includes an easy gun
alignment method.
