It would be interesting to compare the dimensions listed on the old flyers for the overall dimensions of IK tables vice those coin op tables of the day made by American Shuffleboard and Valley and Cougar.
I know Valley made some tables with pretty small playing surfaces- 6 1/2′ x 3 1/4′. I know I have seen one old box bar table that was actually as small as 6′ x 3′. If the dimensions are not twice as long as wide, the whole system no longer works, so I suspect that any narrowing took place in the rails, not the playing surface or the distance between nose and feather strip or the distance from nose to center of the sites. You can’t make a table much thinner without impacting the dimensions of the pockets, especially the sides. Smaller, but proportional would make sense, just narrower seems like it wouldn’t work. The Satellite has an overall dimension of 75 x 45. That’s a pretty small playing surface.
