Thats a beauty ddstoys, so cool. haven't seen too many of them in Australia. Was a favourite when I was a small child back in NZ in the early 80's- used to play them at a motor camp that my family holidayed at a couple of times a year. I can remember getting up really early one morning and finding the flipball pay slot jammed with 2 cent pieces and getting a fork and all of these two cent pieces coming out. Big deal for a 7 year old!
I'm pretty sure the NZ government banned them in 1994 (deemed a gambling device) or something to that effect.

I've got one like this in storage back in NZ.
