Sea Jockeys

Sea Jockeys, manufactured by Williams in November 1951, is an electro-mechanical (EM) machine designed by company founder Harry Williams with artwork by George Molentin. By 1951, flippers — introduced industry-wide in 1947 — had already become a standard feature, and Sea Jockeys' two flippers let players control the ball's trajectory in the manner that had by then become common across the industry.

Sea Jockeys' notable features include five-ball play for five cents, an affordable and popular pricing structure for the era. Eight pop bumpers add to the excitement, while a backbox animation featuring racing speedboats is a charming touch tied to the game's water-sports theme.

Unfortunately, little additional information is available on this specific machine, but its charming animated backbox and water-sports theme make it an appealing piece for collectors and enthusiasts of early 1950s Williams machines.
