just stating the pinball industry started in the 70s would raise my eyebrow


dont worry about it Nino, some people are just full of it

Ironically, the attendee that raised the question on the day is one of the younger generation.

I can vividly remember playing some very old machines around Sydney in the late 60's.....pinball was strong and healthy way before 1970's. My uncle came to Australia in 1954 and remembers playing pinball back then.
Nino, you have a treasure trove of old pinball history....I love the memories.

Wait until I post some supplier lists from the 60's - it is a full booklet ! I recently found the original photos of the soccer tables from 1953 with diagrams that look more like architectural drawings.
