1 Introduction
- Date Of Manufacture: August, 1980
- Production: 869 units (confirmed)
- Theme: Horoscope - Astrology
- Notable Features: Flippers (2), Pop bumpers (3), Slingshots (2), 3-bank drop targets (3), Spinning targets (3), Stand-up targets (12, one for each Zodiac sign). There are no side lane flipper feeds. Instead, there are semi-circle concave scoops feeding each flipper. Hitting one of the drops on the top left bank will stop the vari-value lights, locking in a value for each spin of the adjacent spinner and an inverse (converse) value of knocking the rest of that bank of drops down.
