Power House

The Genco Manufacturing Company's 1940 Power House is a flipperless, single-player electro-mechanical pinball machine, manufactured in June 1940. Like other games of its type and era, it represents pinball's pre-flipper design conventions.

Gameplay on Power House is straightforward, with 17 spring bumpers scattered throughout the playfield offering 5 balls for 5 cents. Players rely on skill and strategy in guiding the ball through the bumper field to maximize their score, since there are no flippers to actively direct shots.

The Power House features a backglass measuring 20 by 20 inches, adding to its nostalgic charm. Due to limited surviving documentation, specific design or artistic details of the machine's theme remain unknown, but as a Genco release from the early 1940s, Power House offers a glimpse into the pre-flipper era of pinball design.
