Show Notes
Australian-made pinball machines from the 1970s, featuring local icons like Dennis Lillee and the FJ Holden, are joining the National Film and Sound Archive collection. These Hankin machines, produced in Newcastle due to high import costs, offer a unique glimpse into Aussie culture. Despite facing backlash during the pinball panic, only around 150 survive today. The archive plans to display them later this year, preserving them as digital heritage.
