Trap Lite

Trap Lite was manufactured by the Exhibit Supply Company (ESCO) of Chicago in November 1936. It is a single-player electro-mechanical payout machine.

Detailed information about Trap Lite's specific playfield features, rules, and artwork has not survived in the historical record. As a payout machine from ESCO's mid-1930s lineup, it would have operated on the coin-payout model common to the era, rewarding players with cash or tokens based on where the ball landed rather than through the scoring-and-replay systems that would later define mainstream pinball.

With so little documentation available, Trap Lite remains a relatively obscure entry from ESCO's history, of interest mainly to specialists researching the company's early payout-machine offerings.
