Skill Pool

Description

Skill pool is a mid 1960's williams game. Briefly described, it was a reverse wedge design. The play field had a set up where balls were racked. Each ball had a button that would register as your rolled over it. Once you rolled over all of the balls, points would register and a ball would light up on the backglass. There were also holes that the ball could drop through for additional points (but you lost the ball).
