About This Machine

Big Rig, manufactured by The Henry W.T. Mali & Co., Inc. of New York in 1977, is a home-model pinball machine built around a trucking and highway travel theme. It shares its playfield layout with the same manufacturer's 'Wheeler Dealer,' also released in 1977.

The machine is a single-player game featuring two flippers, two pop bumpers, and two slingshots, standard components for many 1970s pinball designs. It also includes a free ball return lane, a feature aimed at keeping games moving for casual home play.

Visually, the machine follows its transportation theme, depicting trucks and highways typical of the era's home-model machines. Little further documentation exists about its designer or specific gameplay details, but its age and connection to the Wheeler Dealer layout make it a notable curiosity for collectors of 1970s pinball.
