Machine Description
This early 1960s electromechanical pinball machine features a distinctive "reverse wedgehead" cabinet design and innovative gameplay elements including a motorized rotating center target and two "gobble holes." The floral rose theme was beautifully executed with artwork by George Molentin, though the playfield styling suggests possible collaboration with Roy Parker.
Designed by legendary pinball designer Steve Kordek, 4 Roses represents Williams' craftsmanship during the golden age of electromechanical pinball, when manufacturers were pioneering new mechanical features that would define the industry for decades to come.
