Faeton
About This Machine
Faeton, produced by Juegos Populares, S.A. of Madrid, Spain in 1985, is a solid-state electronic pinball machine from the Spanish manufacturer's mid-1980s lineup, with a science-fiction and space-fantasy theme.
Notable gameplay features include two flippers, four standup targets, two 3-bank drop targets, two swivel targets, a spinning target, a messenger ball, and a kick-out hole, offering players a varied mix of shot-making opportunities. A distinctive design touch is the mini-post on the right outlane, giving players a chance to nudge a draining ball into a free-ball return lane via the left dual inlanes.
Faeton's playfield layout is closely related to Recel's 1979 title 'D. Quijote,' reflecting shared design lineage among Spanish manufacturers of the period. Little else is documented about the machine's designer or specific artistic influences, but it remains a notable example of 1980s Spanish pinball manufacturing.
