Victory

The "Vitrigraph" mylar had significant adhesion problems; a later limited run of replacement playfields were made for operator replacement in the field. These were done as a standard silkscreen on the wood, with an overlay of clear mylar. We don't know if the replacement playfield had identical art as the Vitrigraph playfield, but we have seen a silkscreened playfield (not shown here) that had these following differences, and maybe more: � The checkered flag in the center did not have the race car in it, nor did it have the words "Gottlieb Victory". � The race track that goes around the flag is a light blue instead of dark blue and black. � The words "Don't Lose It" located between the flippers are black instead of white. � The words "Scoring Multiplier When Flashing" located above the flippers are black instead of white. � The words "Special w/lit" located in the outlanes are black instead of red. One game with this different playfield was located in the USA and had a cardholder with the large round red and black emblem the center as seen in the manufacturer's flyer. Another game with this playfield was located in Europe and had a cardholder with the center circle showing a lions head above the name L�WEN, the trade name for NSM Lions. While NSM Lions has manufactured copies of Mylstar's The Games and Premier's Tag Team Pinball, we do not know if they made a copy of the Victory game. The whitewood of this game had a small playfield below the main playfield. John Trudeau tells us more about this fated whitewood design:I also tried to put a race car on a track that would advance when the player got to the next level down there. That turned out to be as expensive as the lower level pinball playfield. So neither were used.
