About This Machine

The One-Two-Three pinball machine, manufactured by Genco in October 1948, is a single-player electro-mechanical game with a striking city-skyline theme. The bottom portion of its backglass depicts a somewhat futuristic skyline with a water fountain and nearby trees.

Gameplay is powered by two flippers, six scoring bumpers, and three kick-out holes, giving players a variety of shots to aim for high scores. The machine's mechanics are characteristic of late-1940s EM pinball, with players interacting directly with metal and rubber components rather than the more elaborate ramps and toys of later eras.

With 1,599 confirmed units produced, the One-Two-Three represents a solidly documented piece of Genco's postwar output. Its city-skyline artwork and straightforward, bumper-driven gameplay make it a distinctive addition to any electro-mechanical pinball collection.
