Ben-Hur

Most of the mechanical and playfield parts are copies of Gottlieb parts, even using same coil numbers. Some playfield plastics show artwork previously seen on the backglasses of Gottlieb's 1977 'Vulcan' and Gottlieb's 1977 'Cleopatra'. This game was distributed in England by ACE, a slot machine manufacturer. To the left of the left flipper, attribution is given on the playfield to J. Martina who finalized the formula to plasticize the playfields for this and other pinball games. Jacques Martina also was a manufacturer of pinball machine conversions. Author Lew Wallace's fictional novel Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ was first published in 1880. It has been made into a movie several times.
