Toledo

The Toledo, designed by Harry Williams and manufactured by Williams Electronics starting December 10, 1975, is a 2-player electro-mechanical machine with a World Places theme, celebrating the historic Spanish city declared a World Heritage site in 1967. A 4-player version of the same design was released the same year as Williams' 'Valencia.'

Toledo features four flippers, two pop bumpers, two slingshots, eight button targets, eight rollover buttons, four standup targets, a kick-out hole, and an end-of-ball bonus, with sound provided by three chimes. Notably, its upper-playfield target assembly uses actual flipper buttons as targets -- possibly the only time Williams used this idea in one of its machines.

The Toledo's World Places theme is reflected in its artwork honoring the city. With 3,001 confirmed units produced between December 1975 and January 1976 (roughly 2,502 for USA/Canada and 499 for export), Toledo represents a solid, if modestly documented, entry from Williams' mid-1970s EM lineup, notable chiefly for its unusual reuse of flipper buttons as playfield targets.
