this area that held some sort of card about the size of business
card.
Perhaps Russ Jensen or Dick Bueschel could tell me what
type card goes there and perhaps a source where I can obtain a
reproduction. Any help would be very much appreciated Keep
up the good work!

Dear Frank,
So you liked our November issue, eh? So did we. It was
exciting to put it together, and now we want to keep it up. It's
good readers and supporters like yourselfthat make itpossible.
You ask what's missingfrom the upper right hand corner of
your Gottlieb WHIZZ-BANG, and add it was business card
size. We asked both Russ Jensen and Dick Bueschel, and they

Dear Editor,
My check for $47.90 is enclosed for subscription renewal
(12/81) and the two price guides; Stock No. ND8 and ND9.
Why not print your order forms on the back of something that
wouldn't be missed? Coin Slot Guides for example since
they're in every issue. I hesitate to use the form and destroy an
article or other information that may be of future use.
What has happened with the hydra stone figures? Haven't
seen them mentioned for quite some time. I believe I still have
one on order and I still have the broken one you replaced for
me. Will return that when you give instructions.
Your magazine is looking better all the time.

reproductions become available I'll let someone else make
the big money on them; I won't handle them. I have no
rap for counterfeiting or passing counterfeit money. And, if
you're the one that made it, you're in deep trouble... I fully
