About This Machine
Preview, manufactured by D. Gottlieb & Company in 1962 and designed by Wayne Neyens with art by Roy Parker, is a representative example of Gottlieb's electro-mechanical pinball output in the early 1960s.
At its core, Preview is an interactive experience that leverages two flippers, three pop bumpers, and two slingshots to create a dynamic game environment. Players can engage with five standup targets, adding an extra layer of challenge to the gameplay. The machine's 3-or-5-ball play option allows players to adapt their strategy based on the number of balls in play, and the maximum displayed point score per player is 1,999 points.
One notable aspect of Preview's design and art is its theme, which captures the essence of show business and pageantry from the early 1960s, with artwork depicting glamorous show-business settings. While specific details about Wayne Neyens' design inspirations are not available, Preview remains a solid example of Gottlieb's output during this period.
