About This Machine

Sara-Suzy, manufactured by Stoner Manufacturing Company in November 1940, is a flipperless, single-player electro-mechanical pinball machine. By 1940 EM pinball design had already been established for roughly a decade, and Sara-Suzy represents a fairly typical example from the twilight years before flippers reshaped the game in 1947.

The gameplay of Sara-Suzy is built around 19 scoring bumpers spread across the playfield, giving players many ways to accumulate points as the ball ricochets around. As a flipperless machine, play relies on plunger skill, tilting technique, and the arrangement of bumpers rather than flipper control.

Specific details about the machine's designer, artwork, or theme are not documented, and its rarity today is unconfirmed. Nonetheless, Sara-Suzy offers a glimpse into Stoner Manufacturing's output during the final years of pre-flipper pinball.
