Spot-Cha

Spot-Cha, released by Rex Manufacturing in February 1945, is a wartime curiosity in pinball history: it is a World War II-era conversion of Exhibit Supply's earlier game 'Attention.' Wartime material shortages led some manufacturers to rework existing cabinets and playfields into 'new' titles rather than build machines from scratch, and Spot-Cha is a surviving example of that practice.

As a single-player electro-mechanical machine from this period, its underlying design and mechanisms trace back to its source game rather than representing new engineering for 1945. Detailed specifications of its playfield layout and rules are not well documented.

Rex Manufacturing produced Spot-Cha only briefly, and surviving examples are scarce. Its significance lies less in gameplay innovation and more in what it illustrates about the wartime pinball industry, when manufacturers adapted to material rationing by repurposing existing designs rather than introducing new ones.
