About This Machine

Diana, produced by Rowamet Indústria Eletrometalúrgica LTDA of São Paulo, Brazil between 1980 and 1983, is a solid state electronic (SS) pinball machine and a copy of Gottlieb's 1977 'Jungle Princess.' Its Fantasy theme and Brazilian manufacture make it a notable entry in the history of South American pinball production.

The two-player machine is built around four flippers, three pop bumpers, two kick-out holes, and two 5-bank drop targets. Notably, the design omits slingshots entirely, giving the ball a slightly different flow through the lower playfield than games that include them.

Little else is documented about Diana's designer or original release details, but as a Brazilian-built copy of an established Gottlieb title, it reflects a common practice among South American manufacturers of the era, who often reproduced popular American designs for their local markets.
