About This Machine

Totem is a single-player electro-mechanical pinball machine from Cedes S.A. of Barcelona, Spain, sharing its playfield layout with Gottlieb's 1962 machine 'Sunset.' Its theme draws on the American West, with cowboy and Native American imagery throughout.

Gameplay includes two flippers, four pop bumpers, two passive bumpers, two slingshots, five captive balls, two standup targets, a rollunder, and dual outlanes on both sides. Cabinet details include a cigarette holder on each side rail and a wedge-shaped head; the maximum displayed score is 1,999 points, with a separate maximum of 19 for Special points.

Little is documented about Totem's exact production year or its designer, but as a Spanish reworking of a Gottlieb layout, it's a notable example of how American pinball designs were adapted for the Spanish market during the early-to-mid 1960s.
