    Bonus used to be collected Only on the playfield. It was later when they added end of ball bonus collect.

    Games like Delta Queen and Bow and Arrow allow you to "score" (not collect) bonus on the playfield.

    Quoted from o-din:

    Reason for this? Simple. There were no switches in the ball trough or tray to tell the machine the ball was over.

    Odin, you are thinking WAY back. When a drained ball just sat there at the bottom of the playfield or in the ball lift area. I was just thinking late 60's early 70's before they came up with End of Ball Bonus count down.

    Not trying to go off topic here, but what would be the best bang for your buck solid state EM I could buy?

    Probably KODr. But good luck finding one for sale. Might cost you as much as Big Juicy Melons or Can Crusher.

    Quoted from Sputnik:

    Williams Suspense. Hit one of the kick out holes then the spinner with the captive ball must come to rest on bonus. Then the score reels turn. No digital display...

    Sounds a lot like Fan-Tas-Tic

    Quoted from chippe01:

    Williams Jive Time. The only way to collect the bonus is from the Spinner Awards. I hate this game!

    Before we got used to end of ball bonus, it wasn't so bad. The rules and score were all based on that fact. It made what you did on the playfield all that more important.

    Then, there was Bally giving you 1,000 bonus at the start of the ball. All you had to do is score 10 points and drain = 1,010.
