Production

The P & S Machine Company's 1943 'Production' pinball machine holds a place in the history of the game as a wartime conversion of Genco's 'Blondie.' Like many machines of its era, it was produced by refitting an existing cabinet with a new backglass and playfield elements rather than building an entirely new game.

Gameplay on 'Production' is characterized by the simplicity typical of early 1940s EM designs, with a single player attempting to score points via bumpers and targets. As with all pinball machines of this period, it predates the 1947 invention of the flipper, so there were no player-controlled flippers.

While 'Production' lacks a distinct documented theme or notable design elements, and little specific information exists about its designer, it is appreciated for its historical significance as an example of the wartime conversion games common in the 1943-1946 period, and its rarity makes it of interest to collectors and historians.
