This is a very impressive looking machine. I found the brochure content particularly interesting. I would really like to see the last page concerning 'Profit Protection'.

We have 1947 Rocket, and 1967 Rocket III. We just need 1933 Rocket to complete the trilogy.
Do you know who the US collector may have been who shipped machine to Australia?
And from the listing, they have 11 other early machines to go with it. And a whole row of Gottlieb wedgeheads behind it. Including a wedgehead Spin A Card(!). Guessing all have been repainted?

no idea. I wondered was a stash discovered down there. (ad was hard to read - I now see where they came from a US collector)

The information to Operators & Hosts in this brochure are absolutely fascinating and I guess a sign of those times and in particular the emphasis upon what pins are all about-'making money'!!
