A great update as usual.
Good to finally see an actual flyer. Something more to work with these days compared to 2012 when Keith Smith was only able to find a photo from a magazine at the time (2012) when Keith added a blog entry then.
>Scandia Cocktail Table - Project Support Engineering (1975) [Featuring a paddle game called Frenzy]

From August 1975 Vending Times, the Scandia cocktail table from Project Support Engineering. Not listed on any of the sites. -
>Sport Center - ACA (1973) [Licensed from For Play Mfg.; German]
I wondered what the company name was marketing the game there. This should also mean that a Rally flyer [Licensed from For Play Mfg.; German] probably does exist and is yet to be found.
4 or 5 years earlier someone had a lengthy blog story adventure of driving a long distance from one part of Europe to another part to pick up and restore a For-Play Rally cab. He was able to restore the Rally cab to working condition. Folks were wondering at the time of how a For-Play brand cab would make its way to Europe. And with this flyer find, it solves the mystery that a company in Germany was importing some of the cabs/games from For-Play [based in southern California] during mid 1970s.
It's the stuff that older generations [those in age range of 60 to 75] might have been familiar with, but not the case with anyone younger than age 60. So this is good to see some flyer finds actually do help out in documenting what might get lost as time progresses.
