About This Machine

The Paramount is an electro-mechanical pinball machine from Bally Manufacturing Corporation, listed as Model 75. Bally documentation does not record an exact date for this model, but its position on Bally's numerical list suggests an inferred project date of around 1936, and it was designed for a single player.

As an early electro-mechanical Bally game, Paramount would have used period-typical relays, solenoids, and other electromechanical components to control ball movement and scoring. No further details survive about its specific rules, artwork, or theme.

With minimal surviving documentation, Paramount is a fairly obscure entry from Bally's early catalog, valued by historians chiefly as a data point in tracing the company's model numbering and output during the mid-1930s.
