Model Number: 246
Type: Electro-mechanical (EM) [?]
Production: 425 units   (confirmed)
Serial Number Database:View at The Internet Pinball Serial Number Database (IPSND.net)  (External site)
Theme: World Places
Notable Features: Flippers (4), Pop bumpers (3), Passive bumpers (2), Slingshots (2), Gobble holes (2), Rotating drum in playfield indicates target value. 3 or 5 ball play. Double match feature.

Maximum displayed point score is 1,999 points per player.

This game featured "Styling of the 60's" with a new cabinet design having anodized aluminum trim and tapered tubular chromium steel legs. A shelf with cigarette holder allowed for placement of drinks and increased the length by six inches. The plywood bottom was increased from 1/4-inch to 3/4 inch in thickness. Williams used this cabinet design on several games during 1960-1961.

Design by: Steve Kordek
Art by: George Molentin
Notes: See Darts for Billboard articles about the introduction of this new-style cabinet to the pinball industry.

The manufacturer's original playfield drawing (not shown here) is stamped ORIGINAL, is dated "Sep 22/60" (a combination of Steve Kordek's dating style and Harry Mabs' dating style), and has the signed initials for Mabs which would make him the draftsman. Unusually, the 'Approved' section for the designer's initials is crossed out and the name CARAVELLE appears instead of the designer's initials in what may be Kordek's writing. Also unusual is that there is no MASTER copy while the ORIGINAL has all of the usual tool room notations that would belong on the MASTER copy and shows completed "Oct. 25 - 60" (again showing the unusual dating style).

Steve Kordek included this game on lists he would make of games that he designed but his name does not appear anywhere on the ORIGINAL drawing. Duncan Brown tells us that the scoring notations on this drawing show areas of Mabs' shaky handwriting but also Kordek's writing, and he adds:

"There is no way that Harry would be doing simple draftsman's work on a game for Steve [to approve as the designer]. Harry must have started the design. But just as clearly Steve was definitely involved in it too."


Harry Mabs retired from Williams on 10-28-60, three days after the tool room work completed for Caravelle and prior to its production. His last game for which he is credited as the designer is Magic Clock from December, 1960.

Theme: Circus/Carnival - Magic
Notable Features: Flippers (2), Pop bumpers (3), Slingshots (2), 3-bank drop targets (3), Spinning targets (2), Messenger ball (1), Kick-out hole (1), Standup target (1).
Design by: George Christian
Art by: Kevin O'Connor
Notes: Unlike other Bally electronic pinball games, their documentation for this game shows the model number only as 1192, not 1192-E.

Artist Margaret Hudson posed for the large eye on the backglass.

A small number of Early Production games had cabinet art using a base yellow color. This color was soon changed from yellow to blue. Early Production games also had a decorative eye in the center backglass that is recessed into the backbox and, when lit, creates a 3-D effect. In later games, this eye was silkscreened onto the glass with the rest of the art.

A change was made during production to increase the size of the long plastic next to the messenger ball lane to provide a hood over the standup target so the messenger ball, if hit hard by the ball in play, would not jump out of the lane after hitting the target. We provide an image of the two styles of plastic, placed side by side.

At the 2004 Texas Pinball Festival, O'Connor stated he got the idea for the artwork for this game, delivered to him as a blank whitewood, because he was interested in and dabbling with magic at the time.

Notes: Capcom equipped some of these games with a ticket vender. Evidence of this can be seen on the front of the cabinet below the ball shooter, where there is a horizontal slot positioned even with the coin door lock, from which the tickets would dispense. Below that opening is a red light indicator to alert the operator when the supply of tickets was low.

Reportedly this game has a Buy-In feature but it is not listed in the manual's list of options. The manual does refer to a button on the cabinet front as the "continue game button switch".

In the Files Section are two portfolios containing images of two different Engineering Prototypes of this game.

When a whitewood was approved for release to production, a sequentially-assigned project number was assigned to the game and engineering drawings were started. The Project Number for this game was "PB-1". This number appears on the playfield under the cardholder.

Notes: Reportedly:
Holding the left flipper when pressing the START button initiates a game of Digital Pinball.
Holding down the right flipper button when pressing START reveals on the display some useful codes for the Mortal Kombat 3 video game.

In John Popadiuks' article in the July 2000 issue of GameRoom Magazine, he stated that all of the prototype games have an Up-post between the flippers (labeled "Magic Post"). Also, he stated this game originally was going to be 'The Magic of David Copperfield' and the playfield design for this theme commenced while pursuing the license. The game was modified when the license did not happen.

Per information from Dave Zabriskie, the male voice was performed by Mike Wadswoth, a good friend of his and an opera singer. The female voice was performed by Cathy Schenkelberg, an accomplished film/stage actor and comedian.
