    ipdb.notes
    This is the same game as Bally's 1969 'Cosmos' but with a different name on backglass for export to Switzerland, according to a 1969 Bally parts catalog. The unconfirmed story is that a Swiss company named Cosmos Automaten manufactured vending and amusement machines so, to avoid legal problems, Bally made some backglasses with the altered name 'Cosmint' and simply put them on games taken from the Cosmos production line. Three Cosmint machines from a collector in Switzerland are pictured here and have serial numbers 2339, 2769, and 2775, which fit within the 'Cosmos' production run. All have English language printing.
