Rey del Oeste
About This Machine
Rey del Oeste is a single-player electro-mechanical pinball machine from Recreativos Jumaci Juegos Electronicos of Madrid, Spain. Its production year is not documented. Like its manufacturer's other machine, the cabinet has no backbox; scoring is displayed to the right of the shooter lane.
The playfield plastic at the top of the machine displays the name "Rey del Oeste," while the removable cover over the ball shooter is labeled "Jumaci," the name of a closely related machine from the same manufacturer with which it appears to share cabinet parts. The name translates to "King of the West" in Spanish, suggesting a Western theme, though this isn't explicitly confirmed in the available documentation.
Electro-mechanical machines of this type relied on relays and solenoids rather than solid-state electronics, giving them a distinctive mechanical feel. Rey del Oeste remains a lesser-documented entry from Recreativos Jumaci's small catalog, of interest to collectors researching Spain's early electro-mechanical pinball manufacturers.
