About This Machine

Ana Bond, manufactured by Talleres del Llobregat S.A. [Automaticos] of Barcelona, Spain, is a rare electro-mechanical (EM) pinball machine from 1966 with an adventure-fantasy theme.

Players control two flippers to navigate the playfield, interacting with three pop bumpers, two passive bumpers, and two slingshots. The game also boasts a horseshoe lane and a right-outlane free ball return lane, adding an extra layer of strategy to the gameplay experience. Several different backglasses are known for this game: two versions with score reels and a blue sky (one considered an alternate with a white band containing match numbers), and an earlier bulb-scoring version with a white sky, believed to have been produced first.

Little is known about the machine's designer or any notable trivia surrounding its creation. Nonetheless, Ana Bond remains an interesting piece of pinball history, offering enthusiasts a glimpse into 1960s Spanish EM design.
