    I was talking to my wife about older pinball games a few days ago and she asked me something I never really put a lot of thought into. It's been on my mind ever since. How did pinball manufacturers advertise their new games to operators/dealers? I know they made flyers and sent those out because I've seen them with specific business addresses stamped on them. But is that the only way they did it? I would think they would've put out entire catalogues with their whole lineup in them. Which is what my wife thought too. But as I told her, I've never seen a pinball catalog just the flyers.
