Goona Goona

Goona Goona, manufactured by W. J. C. Vending Company of New York in December 1932, is an artifact from the very early days of pinball. As a Pure Mechanical (PM) machine, it relies entirely on mechanical operation, without the electromagnets or electronic components that would later become integral to modern pinball.

Gameplay features of Goona Goona are not well documented, but as a single-player pure mechanical game from this era, it likely involved players shooting balls to accumulate points through various targets and holes on the playfield. Details on its specific mechanisms and unique features remain elusive due to limited surviving documentation.

The design and art of Goona Goona are similarly obscure due to its age and rarity, with no designer credited and little information available about the aesthetic choices behind the machine. Very little is known about W. J. C. Vending Company itself, adding to the mystique surrounding this early pinball artifact.
