Super Chubbie

The Super Chubbie, manufactured by Stoner Manufacturing Company in August 1941, is a Flipperless electro-mechanical (EM) pinball machine designed by Fred W. Moxey. Moxey, along with Stoner Manufacturing's founder Harry B. Stoner, held a patent (granted 1942) for the bumper contact switch used in the game's Special Spot Bumper, a patented feature located in the center of the playfield.

Gameplay-wise, the Super Chubbie boasts 16 passive bumpers, a relatively large number for an EM machine of this era. As a flipperless game, play centers entirely on the ball's interaction with the bumpers and the Special Spot Bumper rather than flipper-controlled shots. Players would have experienced a fast-paced game driven by rapid bumper action.

The backglass measures 22 inches by 20 inches, making it slightly larger than average, though no detailed description of the machine's theme or artwork is available. Despite its relatively unknown status, the Super Chubbie remains an interesting piece of pinball history from the flipperless era of EM design.
