Spokes

Spokes, manufactured by the Chicago Coin Machine Manufacturing Company in August 1938, is an early electro-mechanical (EM) pinball machine with a confirmed production run of 295 units.

As with many pinball machines of the pre-flipper era, Spokes relies on tilt, timing, and skillful plunging rather than player-controlled flippers, which were not introduced to pinball until 1947. Specific details about Spokes' notable features, design, and art are not well documented.

Despite the lack of documentation on its unique aspects, Spokes remains an interesting artifact for collectors and historians studying the mechanical evolution of pinball in the late 1930s.
