View File Dragonette 1954 Gottlieb Dragonette pinball Description: Dragonette, Gottlieb, 6/54, 950 produced, 5 trap holes, double award, BALL COLLECT TRAY, complete side bumpers 1 to 8 in order to light playfield replays, outstanding Roy Parker backglass and playfield art, woodrail pinball. Dragonette came out first, but was so popular Gottlieb released 4 Belles, which is a copy of Dragonette. Gottlieb Dragonette has several ways to win a replay (or if game played as Double award, two replays). First is to complete the 1-8 side bumper sequence (in order). If this is done, the red "ding dong" bottom rollovers (A/B lanes next to the flipper) lights for a replay. These two left/right side rollovers alternate with the 10,000 unit. Next is to complete both the A and B rollovers next to the flippers, as this awards a Replay. It also lights the center rollover between the red pop bumpers for a Replay. The next way is to put a ball in each of the four outside trap holes. This also awards a Replay. Putting a ball into the fifth center trap hole gives another replay. Notes:Same playfield layout as Gottlieb's 1954 '4-Belles'. 'Dragonette' artwork satirized the popular 'Dragnet' television show.

Hitting numbered purple bumpers 1 through 5 in sequence lights each one. When all five are lit, each subsequent hit of a purple bumper awards a free play. The purple bumper in center of playfield is always lit and scores 1000 points. Hitting any lit bumper advances lit car on backglass and advances the backglass Bonus ladder up to 15 steps. The lit car steps twelve times on the backglass to award 1000 points at the twelfth step, and each step alternates the yellow and green rollovers for 1000 points when lit. Scoring either yellow or green rollover when lit lights correspondingly colored bumpers for 1000 points which can then also advance car. The white bumper at bottom of playfield sits between two rollovers and not only advances the car when hit but alternately lights these rollovers to score the backglass Bonus value of 1000 to 15000 points depending on Bonus ladder position, then the Bonus resets. If A-B-C were already made in sequence, scoring a lit bottom rollover awards free plays instead of points.

(Williams'53)v.1.1 Manufacturer: Williams Notable feature: One automatic flipper Design: Harry Williams Art: George Molentin Authors: Original Table: Fpozo45 and Danazo Modifications: Okobojimusky What's New in Version 1.1: When a ball hits a ball already is a trap hole, a new ball is no longer prematurely generated. When starting a new game, the ball tray now will correctly capture and display new balls. Ball tray adjusted so it will collect balls that get past the right lower flipper. Triangular bumpers to the right of trap holes adjusted so balls do not get stuck behind a ball in a trap hole. Tilt adjusted to affect only the current ball.
