About This Machine
Town Bar is a single-player electro-mechanical pinball machine manufactured in October 1935 by the Rotor Table Games Co, Incorporated of New York, New York.
Specific gameplay details, rules, and artwork for Town Bar have not survived, which is common for many machines from this early period. As an electro-mechanical game from 1935, it would have relied on relays, switches, and simple scoring mechanisms, predating the flippers that would not be introduced into pinball until 1947.
Rotor Table Games Co. operated only briefly, from 1935 to 1936, out of New York rather than the more common Chicago manufacturing hub of the era. Town Bar stands as a representative, if sparsely documented, example of that short-lived company's output.
