Go Back Go has you use a wheel to rotate a trio of forks left and right to catch a falling ball.
In the Taito history book, Go Back Go is listed as being 1972. Since the flyer uses タイトー, it must be after they changed their name.

I do not know when this game was released. An auction house says 1950s, an owner quipped 60s, and a videomaker said 70s. I think it's safe to say this way probably around 1970, or late 1960s based on the cabinet build. Go Back Go swaps the solid wood look for the more stylish late 60s wood paneling.
Go Back Go swaps the dual launchers for a single launcher, and replaces the center handle with a steering wheel. Those changes make Go Back Go a much more attractive machine.
Similar to what they did with Football, Taito added a side vendor.
