About This Machine

Position, manufactured by Mills Novelty Company in 1936, is an early example of an electromechanical (EM) pinball machine from a period when EM technology was becoming more common in the growing pinball industry.

From a gameplay perspective, Position features a relatively simple, single-player layout typical of its era, relying on EM components such as relays and solenoids. Specific details about its scoring mechanisms and any special features are not documented.

Interestingly, Position offers a glimpse into the early days of pinball design, where themes were often non-existent or minimalistic. The cabinet's artwork and overall aesthetic were likely more reminiscent of a basic mechanical device than the elaborate decorations seen on later pinball machines. This machine serves as a snapshot of electromechanical technology in pinball's early years, making it an intriguing piece for collectors and historians to study.
