Super Special

The Genco Manufacturing Company's Super Special pinball machine from 1933 is an early artifact of pinball history, made by Genco, one of the pioneering companies in the industry during the pure mechanical (PM) era.

One of the most intriguing aspects of the Super Special is its gameplay. Players could enjoy 10 balls for just five cents. The presence of a horseshoe diverter adds an extra layer of challenge and excitement to the game. The machine boasts a mahogany playfield, with the cabinet advertised with a cedar finish, measuring 39 inches long and 17 1/2 inches wide.

While little is known about the designer or theme behind the Super Special, its mechanical simplicity and design make it a fascinating piece of pinball history. As an early example of pure mechanical pinball, this machine offers a glimpse into the game's earliest years, and remains a notable find for collectors and enthusiasts of the era.
