A holy grail machine for bingo collectors! I wonder if any of these still exist?
The official year for this machine is 1972. It is given by Taito in their 40th anniversary book:
Apollo Ball actually first appeared in 1970. In 1970 the company was called 太東貿易 (Taito Trading). Only in 1972 did they change their name to タイトー (Taito).

There are many possible reasons why the game was delayed for 2 years.
Since the game existed back in 1970 I am labeling this game as 1970. If we ever discover a photo that has Apollo Ball, I want people to understand that the photo might be from earlier than 1972.
