Tahiti

Tahiti is an electro-mechanical pinball machine from French manufacturer Jack Rogers, dated to 1961, near the end of the manufacturer's known 1959-1960 operating window per available records. Little is documented about its original theme or design inspiration.

The machine features two flippers, four pop bumpers, two passive bumpers, two slingshots, and two standup targets for two players. It stands out for its Nixie tube score displays, a relatively advanced touch for an EM machine, and its complexity — the game reportedly uses approximately 140 relays. The sound package is simple, consisting of one bell and a knocker to mark scoring events.

Because so little documentation survives about Tahiti, it remains something of a mystery to collectors, but its Nixie tube displays and complex relay logic make it a technically interesting example of early 1960s European EM pinball.
