The logo is 1976 in the center. You are correct with the hardware. Rods, handles, men, scorers, and bushings are all aftermarket. I still have the original men and some of the bushings. The playing does slide out but the original surface as well as corner ramps were missing when I bought it. I just put in some textured Plexiglas and set it up with three goalies. It served its purpose at the time. Now, I guess I'd like to restore it or sell it to.someome that take care of it.
