I got to do a repair on that game.
Betson west in Los Angeles dumped the stuff that nobody wanted.
The one gal won the prize.
If you watch those old Bob Barker era TPIR shows from the early 80s, Volcano was given away a lot. It's always cool to see the prizes given away back then.

You're right about Betson. I bought a Gottlieb Rock from someone that won it on Price is Right. They had a bunch of stuff they won that was never opened or used. It was in a Whirlwind box, and was actually used slightly with a little over 100 plays on it. I was told it was supposed to be a Whirlwind, but remember there's a disclaimer that says they have the right to substitute prizes.
I like Rock, but would be a little upset to get a used one instead of a new Whirlwind!

My favorite thing was getting three Black Holes from Betson.
I was able to get two Black Holes working and the third one was scrapped.
