About This Machine

The Rondeevoo, manufactured by United Manufacturing Company of Chicago in 1948, is an electro-mechanical pinball machine from the early flipper era, arriving less than a year after flippers were first introduced industry-wide. The manufacturer's flyer refers to its flippers as "control kickers."

The Rondeevoo's gameplay is built around two flippers controlling a single ball, with 11 passive bumpers and five kick-out holes providing targets for players. Five balls could be played for five cents, a typical price point for the era.

The Rondeevoo's design and artwork reflect a nightlife and music theme, though specific details about its inspiration or design intent are not documented. As with many machines from this period, there is limited information available on its creator or production history, making the Rondeevoo an interesting subject for pinball historians to explore further.
