About This Machine

Chico, manufactured by the Exhibit Supply Company (ESCO) in 1948, is a single-player electromechanical (EM) pinball machine from one of Chicago's prolific manufacturers of the era. Little detailed information survives about this particular title, including its specific features, designer, or artwork.

By 1948, ESCO had been producing amusement machines since 1932, and Chico represents a later entry in the company's long EM output rather than one of its earliest. Its scarcity and the limited documentation available make it a machine of interest primarily to collectors and historians researching ESCO's catalog.

Beyond its manufacturer, year, and single-player format, few verified details about Chico's gameplay or design have surfaced, leaving much about this title still to be uncovered.
