"Drop-A-Card" is my guess

"Card King" is the export of "Pop-A-Card" - which is a rarer Add a ball version of "Drop-A-Card"

If it is a "Card King" - it would be VERY rare !

Yeah she is a Drop a Card....

Well done Greg - a Kingpin and Drop a Card in a week  ^^^

With the Drop a Card get those 2" flippers nice and strong so you can make those drop targets on top of the playfield.

Excellent game all round - you have done well  *%*

Pics below: PF has ball swirl (contemplating MEing it) but very good otherwise. BG very nice overall, some fade of the Drop a Card lettering only, plus a small touch-up. Cab is a full re-spray by a member here, and a real pro restorer this guy. Flippers bats I want to replace with the ones that read "flipper". Door and coin slot area is hammertone, looks great. Has new legs, cab protectors, and I will re-rubber soon. Works great! I need the little card that sits in the left handside of the apron window (shows what ball your on), if anyone has one to spare pls let me know.

Ty Tony. The guy has done a mod on the flipper and pop bumper coils (looks like a BR), and they are sooooo powerful.
