About This Machine

The Turret, manufactured by Automatic Amusements Company of Los Angeles in November 1935, was designed by Harry Williams, one of the pioneering figures in early pinball design. As an electro-mechanical (EM) payout machine, it incorporated electrical components typical of the period's transition away from purely mechanical games.

Specific details about the Turret's gameplay mechanics and notable features have not survived in the historical record, which is common for games from this early era of pinball manufacturing.

Despite the scarcity of documentation, the Turret remains a relic of interest in pinball history as a payout machine credited to designer Harry Williams and produced by the short-lived Automatic Amusements Company (1932-1935), offering a glimpse into the early, formative years of the coin-operated amusement industry.
