Machine Description
This electromechanical pinball machine satirizes the popular television series "Dragnet." Designer Wayne Neyens created a playfield with two flippers, five pop bumpers, and five trap holes that capture and release balls during play. Artist Roy Parker's backglass artwork references the noir aesthetic of the TV show while maintaining pinball's colorful entertainment appeal.
The machine exemplifies the mid-1950s trend of pinball manufacturers drawing inspiration from popular culture, transforming contemporary television into interactive arcade entertainment.
