G-E-T

The G-E-T, manufactured by Exhibit Supply Company (ESCO) in June 1935, is a single-player electro-mechanical payout machine from ESCO's early years as a Chicago-based coin-op manufacturer (the company operated from 1932 to 1957).

As a payout machine typical of the mid-1930s, G-E-T would have rewarded players with coins based on ball outcomes, a common format before payout machines became more heavily regulated in later decades. Like other EM machines of 1935, it predates the pinball flipper by over a decade; play relied on a plunger-launched ball interacting with a fixed playfield of pins and scoring pockets rather than flipper-controlled shots.

Little is documented about G-E-T's designer, artwork, or specific theme. Its scarcity and age make it an intriguing if obscure entry in ESCO's catalog of 1930s payout machines.
