Kings _ Queens

Kings & Queens was a classic electro-mechanical pinball machine produced by D. Gottlieb & Co. during the mid-1960s, representing the golden age of mechanical pinball manufacturing. The machine's theme celebrated royal imagery and medieval pageantry, a popular motif during this era of pinball design.

The playfield featured traditional mechanical components including pop bumpers, kick-out holes, and rolling targets arranged in a layout typical of the period. The backglass artwork likely displayed elaborate royal court imagery with kings, queens, and associated medieval heraldry, following Gottlieb's reputation for detailed and artistic backglass designs of this era.

As an electro-mechanical machine from this period, it operated using relay switches, stepper units, and score motors rather than electronic components. The scoring would have been displayed using mechanical wheels or drums, with games typically offering standard features like multi-player capability and match features common to machines of this vintage.

While not one of Gottlieb's most famous titles from this era, Kings & Queens represents an important piece of pinball history from a time when mechanical craftsmanship and relay logic defined the industry. These machines were built to last, and surviving examples are valued by collectors for their reliability and pure mechanical gameplay.
