Count Down

Count Down, produced by Novamatic S.p.A. of Milan, Italy in 1970, is an early single-player electro-mechanical (EM) pinball machine from Italy. As one of the earlier examples of Italian-made pinball, it offers a glimpse into the country's nascent pinball manufacturing industry at the start of the 1970s.

Detailed information about Count Down's specific playfield features, designer, and artwork has not been documented. What is known places it firmly within the EM era of the early 1970s, alongside other Italian manufacturers experimenting with pinball design at the time.

With limited surviving documentation, Count Down remains something of a mystery among collectors and historians, representing the early, lesser-recorded chapter of Italy's pinball manufacturing history.
