- Flipcommons AI Descriptions (MachineModel)*POOL* is less a conversion kit than a rebadge: a fresh backglass under a new name fitted to [[manufacturer:williams]]' 1968 [[theme:billiards]] game *[[model:cue-t]]*, keeping the original machine intact underneath.[1] Williams had built *Cue-T* overwhelmingly for export — some 2,479 of roughly 2,800 units went overseas[2] — leaving the cabinets common in Europe; tilt.it speculates the renaming may have been a way to slip the *Cue-T* name past a local list of prohibited games.[1]

Piu' che un kit, parrebbe un vetro rifatto con nome differente per un CUE-T Williams.[...]Forse costruito per zone in cui il CUE-T era finito in qualche lista di giochi proibiti?
