Updates

The massive arcade exploration post exploring the arcade in 1992-01 TVムック故郷は欧州　意外なパチンコ進化論 / TV Mook Mystery Journey: Surprising theory of pachinko evolution has been updated:

• Singer bagatelle with patent date of 1890-02-13 added
• The Rambler added
• down to only 7 games unidentified, from 9.

The toupie hollandaise article has been updated with information from a restorer who gave further details in the comments. The Pinball Expo 2024 article was also updated with amendments to my Pinball Ancestry presentation to reflect this information.  Also added another example.

I mentioned this in the carombolette tables! billiards meets pin bagatelle post, but I have gone back to my original carombolette post and edited and expanded it.
