Phoenix City
About This Machine
Phoenix City is an electro-mechanical, two-player pinball machine produced by Elettrocoin of Florence, Italy, sometime between 1965 and 1970. Very little of the machine survives in documented form — the only confirmed evidence is a backglass featuring five score reel windows per player, with the manufacturer's name displayed in the upper right corner.
Because no playfield, cabinet, or detailed feature list has been documented, specifics about Phoenix City's gameplay, layout, and artwork remain unknown. As with many EM machines of the era, it likely used standard electro-mechanical relay-driven scoring, but no confirmed details about its flippers, targets, or rules are available.
Elettrocoin's run as an Italian pinball manufacturer in the 1960s makes Phoenix City a rare and largely undocumented piece of that history, of interest mainly to specialists tracking the smaller European manufacturers of the era.
