About This Machine
Qualified, manufactured by Pace Manufacturing Company Incorporated of Chicago, Illinois in January 1936, is a single-player electro-mechanical (EM) payout pinball machine from pinball's early era. Specific details about its playfield, artwork, and theme are not well documented.
Gameplay on Qualified would have followed the pattern typical of mid-1930s EM machines: balls launched into an elevated playfield and directed by gravity, pins, and targets, well before the player-controlled flippers that would define later pinball design.
While little is known about Qualified's specific design, its production by Pace Manufacturing places it among the payout machines that characterized the coin-operated amusement industry of the mid-1930s.
