ipdb.notes: IPDB All of the other pinball machines that we have seen by this manufacturer are much smaller in size than this one and clearly classify as toys. We list "Power Pro Pinball" because it is significantly larger, similar in size to the home machines made by Brunswick and Briarwood in the late 1970s. The ad shown here may be from 1978. Marx Toys was advertised from 1972-1976 as "A Division of the Quaker Oats Company", its owner during this time. The blurry ad we show in this listing does not appear to reference Quaker Oats as do other ads we have seen. Based on that ad, this game may have been manufactured after 1976 and before Marx went out of business in 1980. We also saw online a newspaper department store ad for this game, sold as new, on sale for $119.99, and dated June 11, 1979. Based on this ad, we show this game as made in 1979. If anyone has a higher resolution image of the ad that we show in this listing, or any game ads from when the game was new, please contact us. used
