About This Machine

The Wishing Well, designed by Wayne Neyens with artwork by Roy Parker, was manufactured by Gottlieb in September 1955. It's a single-player electro-mechanical machine with a Fashion - Women theme, of which 1,050 units were confirmed produced.

Gameplay offers five balls per play, along with two flippers, three pop bumpers, two slingshots, four standup targets, three rollover buttons, and a gobble hole. A row of Balls Played lamps on the lower wood apron gives players a clear visual indicator of their progress through the game.

Wishing Well's design reflects the fashion-conscious sensibilities of mid-1950s America, and with just over a thousand units produced, it remains a modestly produced but characterful example of Gottlieb's EM output from the period.
