    EM's = 5 ball
    Very early SS (essentially EM games with electronics) like Playboy, 6MDM, Hot Tip, Cleopatra = 5 ball / 3 ball for widebodies
    1980 and all newer SS starting around Firepower, Black Knight = 3 ball

    This is how I remember all the arcades I regularly visited in the late 70's / early 80s. And as CactusJack said, prices were raised to 50c soon after.
