Liga

The Liga pinball machine, crafted by Tura Automatenfabrik GmbH of Leipzig, Germany in 1936, is a rare and fascinating example of early electro-mechanical (EM) pinball technology. It followed several earlier machines from the same manufacturer, including the 1934 Tura-Duplex, Tura Fortuna, and Tura Derby, reflecting Tura's ongoing production through the mid-1930s.

Little is documented about the Liga's specific gameplay features, but as an electro-mechanical design of its era - predating flippers, which were not introduced until 1947 - it would have relied on relays, solenoids, and gravity-driven ball movement rather than player-controlled paddles. The machine likely used bumpers and scoring mechanisms typical of the period to challenge players.

The design and art of the Liga remain undocumented in available records. Without further information, much about the Liga remains unknown - but its rarity and place within Tura's 1930s production run ensure it remains of interest to pinball historians.
