I have played this great looking game a few times and walked away grinning from ear to ear.
Thanks for the wishes I know it will not be an easy search
Cheers

The layout is a more simpler version of Fathom, and and a more complex version of Flash. Great artwork. The playfields on these were almost always worn to wood if they didn't have mylar - so they were well played, but rare in Australia.

After collecting the majority of parts thanks to you swinks and a donour machine to start the build (long process) I managed to source one from a collector who imported the machine for the states 2 years ago.Could not be happier.
