Pros-Per-E-Ti Special

The Pros-Per-E-Ti Special, crafted by Prosperity Coin Machine Corporation in May 1933, holds a place in the early history of pinball. It followed an evolution from an initial conversion board produced in October 1932, through Senior and Junior versions released in November 1932, before arriving at this Special version.

Gameplay on the Pros-Per-E-Ti Special is purely mechanical, relying on no electricity or motors to operate. The machine features a notable horseshoe diverter, a unique element that would have added challenge and strategy to gameplay by redirecting the ball's path.

Design-wise, the Pros-Per-E-Ti Special offers a glimpse into the aesthetic sensibilities of the time, from a manufacturer whose production run was short-lived, lasting only from 1932-1933. This makes the machine, and its predecessor Senior and Junior versions, a rare find in the world of pinball collecting.
