Support Our WorkGottlieb's 'Glamor' pinball machine, released in 1967, embodied the aesthetic and cultural zeitgeist of the late 1960s, when the pinball industry was experiencing a creative renaissance. This electro-mechanical masterpiece captured the essence of the era's fascination with glamour, fashion, and pop culture.
The machine featured classic 60s-style artwork with elegant feminine motifs typical of the period, appealing to the broader cultural shift toward more sophisticated entertainment options in arcades and entertainment venues. The playfield likely incorporated traditional elements such as pop bumpers, drop targets, and rollover lanes, arranged in Gottlieb's characteristically thoughtful and balanced layout style that defined their machines of this era.
As an electro-mechanical pinball machine from the pre-solid state era, 'Glamor' represented the pinnacle of mechanical engineering sophistication. Every chime, score advancement, and bonus feature was controlled through an intricate system of relays, stepper units, and score motors - a testament to the ingenuity of pinball design before the advent of electronic components. While production numbers are not definitively known, machines from this era typically saw production runs between 2,000 to 4,000 units.
