What is the first pinball machine to ever offer the multiball feature? Also, is Apollo 13 the machine with the most multiballs or is there another one that tops that?

Quoted from PinballCharlieNY:
Apollo 13 is the game with the most balls during multiball. 13 balls at once is insane!!

Did that create mechanical issues with the machine? Never seen any game since come close.

Quoted from ForceFlow:
I've seen a line of balls get stuck in the shooter lane, and the coil keeps firing over and over to try to shoot them out, but when there's more than 4 balls, they are just too heavy for the coil to deal with.

Since this was the case with Apollo13, there must have been a lot of mechanical issues.
