About This Machine

Campus, produced by the Exhibit Supply Company (trade name ESCO) of Chicago in February 1950, is a single-player electro-mechanical pinball machine from one of the industry's longest-running early manufacturers. Exhibit Supply had been in the coin-op business since 1932, and Campus dates from the company's later years, when it competed in the crowded post-war flipper game market.

Unfortunately, very little has been documented about Campus. Its playfield features, rules, designer, artist, and theme are all unrecorded, and no production figures are known. Its title suggests a college or school setting, but this cannot be confirmed from available records.

For enthusiasts of early 1950s pinball, Campus is the kind of obscure title that rewards further research. Exhibit Supply would leave the pinball business within a few years, making its post-war games a relatively small and collectible slice of the company's long history in arcade equipment.
