About This Machine
Tally is a single-player electro-mechanical pinball machine manufactured in September 1935 by the California Exhibit Company of Los Angeles, California.
Specific gameplay details for Tally are not well documented, which is common for many machines of this period. As with other electro-mechanical games from 1935, players would have aimed to accumulate points by directing a ball through pins, targets, and holes on the playfield using gravity and skillful nudging, well before the introduction of flippers in 1947.
Little further documentation exists on Tally's design or artwork, but as a product of California Exhibit Company, active only from 1935 to 1936, it offers a glimpse into the West Coast pinball manufacturing scene of the mid-1930s.
