Elektro-Bomber (Brillant Type 2)
About This Machine
The Elektro-Bomber (Brillant Type 2) is an electro-mechanical pinball machine produced by T.H. Bergmann & Company of Hamburg, Germany, active from 1938 to 1968. Its exact production year is unknown, though it is believed to date from the late 1930s. This version has a backbox and features 25 spring bumpers, the most of the three known Elektro-Bomber variants.
The game includes lights and bells alongside its spring bumpers, and a chrome metal playfield in a cabinet advertised at 55 x 110 cm — the largest of the Elektro-Bomber family. It is a flipperless, single-player machine with a maximum displayed score of 200,000 points. A version with 20 bumpers, otherwise similar, is known as the Elektro-Bomber (Brillant Type 1).
Little further documentation of this machine's theme or reception survives, and no additional information has been found through research. Its rarity and the mystery surrounding its history make it a notable curiosity for collectors and historians of early European pinball.
