About This Machine
The SOK-M-IN is a rare and enigmatic pure mechanical pinball machine that has managed to fly under the radar of most collectors and historians. Its unknown manufacturer and year of production only add to its mystique, making it a fascinating addition to any collection. As one of the few remaining PMs from an unidentifiable era, SOK-M-IN offers a unique glimpse into the early days of pinball's development.
Gameplay on this machine is characterized by its 7-ball play, where players can enjoy a longer-than-usual game session for just 1 cent. The "Figure 8" playfield layout, with its distinctive curved and angular design elements, adds to the excitement of gameplay. Weighing in at approximately 35 pounds, SOK-M-IN is surprisingly compact given its size, measuring 30 inches long, 16 1/2 inches wide, and 8 1/2 inches high.
The most striking feature of this machine is its glass playfield cover, a rare departure from the more common plastic covers found on many PMs. While we know little about the designer or theme behind SOK-M-IN, its sheer obscurity has piqued the interest of collectors and historians alike. Any additional information that can be uncovered will undoubtedly shed new light on this enigmatic machine's place in pinball history.
