Summer Time

Summer Time, manufactured by United Manufacturing Company in 1948, is a notable addition to any pinball collection reflecting the electro-mechanical design conventions of the late 1940s.

Notably, Summer Time features 5 balls for 5 cents, a characteristic common among pinball games of the period. The machine boasts two flippers, 12 passive bumpers, and five kick-out holes, providing a challenging experience for players. One of the unique aspects of this game is the pendulum tilt mechanism, which is inoperative until the Bonus step-up unit is operated by the first ball. This adds an extra layer of strategy to gameplay.

Unfortunately, due to its age and limited documentation, little information is available about Summer Time's design, art, or theme. However, its electro-mechanical construction and mechanical components reflect the manufacturing era, making it a valuable piece for historians and collectors interested in vintage pinball machines.
