Sing Along

The Sing Along pinball machine, designed by Ed Krynski with art by Art Stenholm, was manufactured by Gottlieb in August 1967. Its musical theme was a fairly unusual choice for an electromechanical pinball of the era, and it stands out among Gottlieb's late-1960s lineup for that reason.

Gameplay on Sing Along follows the standard single-player EM format of the time, with two flippers, four pop bumpers, two slingshots, five standup targets, four relay kick-out holes, and a rollunder, all built into a wedge-head cabinet. Rather than an electronic soundtrack, the machine's audio comes from three mechanical bells and a knocker, triggered by gameplay events, in keeping with typical EM sound design. An add-a-ball version of the game was released the same year as Gottlieb's 'Melody.'

The machine's cabinet art plays up its music theme, and with 3,300 units produced, Sing Along offers an accessible glimpse into a less common theme choice from Gottlieb's electromechanical era.
