I believe it was produced by Marx in 1976 who, not surprisingly used the same plastic cover for many other bagatelles, simply changing the illustration.
I'd imagine that like most people it's the illustration that attracted me to the thing in the first place, and the price, a tenner!
Strangely enough, there was a couple of other bagatelles at the fair, a very retro looking Rex Mars Planet Patrol and one of the Marx Fireball XL5 examples but those were priced a lot higher than what I'd be prepared to pay for something that would be fairly peripheral to my collection .
Anyway, It's not in bad nick. Everything works and the stand on the back is intact . Apart from the odd scratch here and there, I can honestly say I'm quite pleased with it.
