Aces Top

This game appears identical to Bally's 1965 'Aces High' except for the change in name on the backglass. Two examples are shown here, both from Europe. The first one has serial number AH 1017 which indicates that the 17th 'Aces High' game was converted. The second one has a cabinet serial number of AH 1595 but its playfield has a different serial number without leading alpha characters. This number, 1603, appears as though a six-digit stamp had been used with the first two digits dialed out of view before stamping, yet bottom portions of those two digits still appear, suggesting '12'. So far, these converted games have been located only in Europe and may have been intended for a specific country. While the 1969 Bally Parts Catalog lists alternate backglasses for certain other models that Bally shipped to Europe, 'Aces Top' is not listed. Perhaps this glass was made in Europe. We don't know how many 'Aces High' games had this converted glass or why it was done.
