About This Machine

The Sweet Add-A-Line, released by D. Gottlieb & Company in July 1955, is a single-player electro-mechanical pinball machine designed by Wayne Neyens with art by Roy Parker. Its theme combines beach, music, and water imagery. Gameplay offers five balls for five cents and includes two flippers, four pop bumpers, two slingshots, and two gobble holes. Only 800 units were confirmed produced, making it a relatively scarce Gottlieb title from the mid-1950s.

Beyond its basic specifications, IPDB's records don't detail exactly how the game's "Add-A-Line" mechanic functioned on the playfield, so specific claims about its scoring gimmick can't be confirmed here.

With its beach and music theming, colorful period artwork, and low production numbers, the Sweet Add-A-Line remains an intriguing, lesser-documented entry in Gottlieb's 1950s catalog.
