Table Tennis (Midway Mfg. Co., 1972)

Midway's approach to wall games was unique in several respects.  The Midway wall games were electromechanical, incorporating solenoids and relays instead of transistors and integrated circuits.  The scoring mechanisms were not digital matrix displays, but rather score reels such as those found on EM pinball machines of that era.

Midway also offered the games in either a wall-mounted or pedestal-mounted format.  The wall-mounted games had a separate coin box, whereas the pedestal-mounted games had an integral coin box in the pedestal base.

Another option for Midway wall games was the type of remote control units.  Table Tennis is a two-player game, and used two remote controllers. The operator could purchase the game with either hard-wired remote controls, or RF remote control transmitters and receivers.  Where RF remote controllers were used, the remotes were different colors (red or blue) to distinguish between players.
