Volly Industries Ltd. Hockey (Happy Hour Cocktail) 1973

So, I picked this up today off craigslist.
Didn't know that much about it at the time(and probably still don't).
When I saw the posting I figured it would make a nice coffee table game to put in front of the couch in the game room. The guy had it listed as some kind of a Pong clone (which I guess is sort of is).
Anyhow, got it home and started looking it up on the interwebs and found this.

I guess it makes sense being Canadian that the instructions are in French and English.
Its in pretty decent shape all in all. Some monitor burn, a little oxidation on some of the metal, some paint flaking on the glass and need to replace the power cord that someone spliced. Other than that it seems pretty clean and plays well (and its four player to boot).
I couldn't find a listing for Volly Industries Ltd on VAPS. Does VAPS just considered it a subsidiary company of Ramtek? or am I looking in the wrong place.

Anyhow, I thought this thing was kind of fun and wanted to share.

That's really cool. I would have bought it too if it was working. Most Pong clones are dead and no one knows anything about them.

You should call the service number and tell them you need a new power cord for your Volly!
 
Canadian cultural heritage eh!

Ahem
That thing needs to be repatriated to Canada where it can take its rightful place at the Canadian museum of innovation! It'll be in the same exhibit hall housing the ski doo and hockey stick. It was probably taken south by a Canuck snowbird at some point.
