Darts

Some Early Production games were made in a standard woodrail cabinet. The Billboard articles pictured in this listing explain the introduction of this new cabinet to selected distributors and also explain some benefits of its features. Some pinball resources show Steve Kordek as the designer for this game, as we once did. In an article appearing in The Pinball Compendium 1930s-1960s, Kordek stated that his first game at Williams was a rifle game, Space Glider, in 1960. His second game was the pinball machine Bo Bo. That information also appears on a list that Steve Kordek composed in the late 1990's (or so) of all the games that he designed while at Williams. 'Darts' was not on that list. The manufacturer's Tool Room copy of the original playfield drawing (both documents not shown here) did not have the MASTER ink stamp block that was used on games before and after this one and there is no "drawn" date or initials. It shows completed on 2/26/60 and shows "changes made 2/29/60", both were dated and signed by "S. Ahlborn" (Steve Ahlborn). We are seeking your images of this game in its original standard woodrail cabinet showing the front and side(s) and original paint. We are also seeking images of this game in the "new" cabinet with the tubular legs, also showing original cabinet and backbox colors, front and side(s).
