Lovely Lucy

Lovely Lucy is an electro-mechanical pinball machine from 1954, designed by Wayne Neyens for D. Gottlieb & Company, with artwork by Roy Parker. With a music and dancing theme and 850 confirmed units produced, it represents a relatively scarce entry in Gottlieb's early-1950s lineup.

The machine boasts several features typical of Gottlieb's single-player EM games of the era. Players can enjoy 5 balls for just 5 cents, with a maximum displayed score of 7,999,000 points. The game includes two flippers, three pop bumpers, seven passive bumpers, two slingshots, and six gobble holes, along with a replay wheel (maximum setting of 26) that could award players extra games. Tilting the machine ends the game immediately.

The dancing theme is captured in the machine's artwork, with illustrations evoking the carefree spirit of the 1950s. With only 850 units confirmed produced, Lovely Lucy is a relatively rare find for collectors, offering a glimpse into Gottlieb's mid-century single-player pinball designs.
