About This Machine

Stripping Funny (2-Table Model) is an electro-mechanical pinball machine manufactured in 1974 by Industria (Electromecánica) de Recreativos S.A. of Madrid, Spain, better known by its trade name INDER, a company that produced recreational equipment from 1970 to 1993. This version is distinguished from INDER's other 'Stripping Funny' release by its backglass, which depicts two billiard tables rather than one; it isn't known which of the two versions came first, though the flyer for this model touts a "new defensive concept" and "shaking rotating specials," hinting it may have been the follow-up design.

Key to Stripping Funny's playfield are its two flippers, five pop bumpers, two mushroom bumpers (tucked behind the flippers, near a stationary center post), and two kick-out holes, all set on a plastic playfield surface that adds durability. It's not confirmed whether the nearby post actually spins to make the hidden mushroom bumpers reachable.

While the machine's designer isn't documented, its billiards theme and playfield layout reflect INDER's mid-1970s design sensibilities. Stripping Funny remains an interesting example of the era's European EM output and of INDER's habit of releasing variant playfields under the same title.
