Hello vccomm and Contributors

Yes, to show you how old - and revolutionary - this design is consider this:-

[Linked Image]

It's a Kiwi brochure. The prices are in pounds: meaning prior to July, 1967!
Your machine has an updated handle. Note that this is a complex pressed steel chassis.
Note how Morrison claim their machines were selling in Australia at this time.
[I'm not sure rotaries were at this time; reels definitely were.]

That your machine has a metal catcher is significant.
I would think it unlikely that metal catchers were used in the 1980s.
[But it is possible they did survive to the very early 1980s].

Your machine is important in that it fills a gap in Scott Bonnar (and Morrison) history.

All very collectable.
