    Quoted from fredsmythson:

    It's interesting the author used an illustration of a 1971 machine on the cover. I think it's a Lawman with 2" flippers???

    Yes, to my eyes that illustration definitely has the playfield layout of Gottlieb's Lawman. And the score motor, relay bank, front door, drop target bank, and bonus stepper are all based on (but not exact representations of) the Gottlieb versions of these components. So that was likely the machine that the artist used as a reference.

    I agree the flippers look weirdly small, but I think that is just the way the artist drew them. Overall, I think it's a really nice illustration. It reminds me of the "visible pinball machine" that was made by the Pacific Pinball Museum folks.

    Many thanks to MarkG for bringing this rare book to our attention!
