Rainbo

Rainbo, manufactured by Tura Automatenfabrik GmbH of Leipzig, Germany in March 1933, is an early example of a Pure Mechanical pinball machine. It also appears in some records under the name C.M. Schwarz G.M.B.H. of Leipzig, reportedly an earlier name of the same manufacturer before it shifted from licensing foreign machines to producing domestic games.

As a Pure Mechanical tabletop/countertop machine, Rainbo's gameplay relied entirely on gravity and manual manipulation of the cabinet -- there were no electrical components, flippers, or bumpers, consistent with the earliest days of coin-operated pinball. Specific details about its playfield layout, art, or theme are not documented.

What makes Rainbo particularly interesting to enthusiasts is its age and rarity. As one of the earlier known mechanical pinball machines from this period, it offers a glimpse into the development of the game during its formative years in Europe, though its exact place in that timeline cannot be confirmed from available records.
