In the 70s, Gottlieb shipped unassembled game components to Manaus, Brazil because it was a Tax Free Zone and assembly was finished there by Fipermatic, a Brazilian import and export firm. These components were:

Backglass
Playfield
Lightbox insert
Lower cabinet insert (aka motor board)

Gottlieb did not ship the playfield glass or the cabinet. Those components would have to be procured (locally) by the recipient.

The "Old Stern" did the same in 1978-1980, shipping "knock-down games" to Australia, where the cabinet and playfield glass (among other components, like maybe the speaker, IIRC) were procured locally for final assembly by Leisure & Allied Industries, Inc. I've been working intensively for over a year now with a few very helpful collectors in Australia to pictorially document these LAI games on the IPDB and still am not done. One game, Cosmic Princess, was sold only in Australia as Stern did not sell it in the USA.

I bought a Bally Playboy NIB from Mountain Coin in Denver in February 1979 for $1695.00 plus tax. The CPI calculator puts this dollar amount at $6004.52 for July 2017.
