I have been told by a former LAI worker that Hot Hand ,Cosmic Princess and others were made/assembled at the LAI factory in North Perth . Also was told games were Made/assembled at other locations around Australia . On a footnote i have seen Meteor backglasses With the LAI logo aswell as the Stern Logo . Whilst others just have the Stern Logo

Thanks Ralph for your answer. I remember an operator telling me years ago that the Sterns he had were assembled in Aust. It would be interesting to know just how many and which titles were done here. That just goes to show how big the pinball industry was back in the 70s. Some people must be out there who were on the assembly lines of Hankin and LAI. Wouldn't that make a great historic recollection of the past!
If you don't remember the 70s then you were on drugs.
If you remember playing pinball in the 70s you were having a good time.
