Good work on finding a flyer etc. Having any flyers on hand should make things easier when trying track down a hard-to-find game since it shows what the cab looks like and gameplay as well. I know that myself when back in 2001 I was first asking about the game name that likely used film reels, but wasn't sure of the name or the company that made the game. It turned out to be the mid 1970s version of Nintendo Wild Gunman (uses film reels). It wasn't until late 2002 when a flyer of Nintendo Wild Gunman was finally placed online and then eventually added to TAFA in 2006. So these days [mainly younger generation] more folks are aware of existense of the mid 1970s version of Nintendo WG.

Sort of reminds me about of Planet Probe when maybe one or two remember the game very well and almost everyone else never knew existence of Planet Probe. One knew it well enough to describe gameplay and a melodic melody that is played when entering the player name in high scores.
