About This Machine

The Klever Lite, manufactured by Genco Manufacturing Company in February 1935 and designed by Harvey Heiss, is an early electro-mechanical (EM) pinball machine from one of the era's prolific manufacturers.

Specific details about Klever Lite's gameplay mechanics, artwork, and theme are not well documented, but as an EM machine it would have used electrical components, such as scoring relays or lights, alongside traditional mechanical elements to enhance the player experience compared to purely mechanical predecessors.

Despite the lack of detailed information about its design or theme, the Klever Lite stands as a notable early credit for designer Harvey Heiss and an example of Genco's output during pinball's formative electro-mechanical years.
