Super-Charger

The Super-Charger, manufactured by O. D. Jennings and Company in 1938, is an electro-mechanical (EM) pin table with an auto racing theme. Notably, this was not a coin-operated machine but rather one built for operation by an attendant in closed territories, controlled via a remote, and featuring a beautiful cabinet and colorful light-up panel.

As a single-player EM game from the late 1930s, the Super-Charger reflects the era's approach to pinball before the arrival of flippers in 1947, relying instead on the operator's remote control and the game's light-up display to engage players.

The Super-Charger's theme, centered around auto racing, is notable for its time period. Little is known about the designer or specific gameplay features that made this machine stand out, but it remains an intriguing piece of pinball history for enthusiasts to study, offering a glimpse into the early, pre-flipper days of the industry.
