About This Machine

Fishin', manufactured by Arco Sales Co. of Philadelphia in 1942, is an electro-mechanical (EM) pinball machine and a flipperless example from the World War II era of the industry. Its fishing theme and straightforward, single-player design are typical of pinball games from this period.

The machine features 16 scoring bumpers, giving players multiple opportunities to score points across a simple playfield layout built around its fishing theme. As a flipperless game, ball control relies entirely on the layout of bumpers and the tilt of the cabinet rather than player-operated flippers.

Little additional information is available about Fishin' beyond its basic specifications, and its rarity or collector value cannot be confirmed. Its modest art and mechanics are typical of 1940s-era pinball machines, offering a glimpse of the industry during the early EM period.
