Was there ever a version of El Dorado that was made for the South American market called "Turfe?" Ebay has listed a Gottlieb Turfe backglass, but it might be for a machine that has a completely different playfield design. Or would this be a custom made backglass?

I found no information about Turfe on IPDB or anywhere on the Web...

Some clues on this backglass: "Turfe" is a Portuguese word. It means "Turf" in English. Did Gottlieb ever make a machine that included Portuguese words? Was the market for pinball machines in Brazil back then big enough for Gottlieb to make a machine just for Brazil? Or maybe a machine was made for Portugal...

It might be a 3rd party conversion backglass. Maybe operators in Brazil wanted a backglass with a Portuguese title instead of a Spanish title...
