Twin Bill

Twin Bill, released by D. Gottlieb & Co. in 1974, represents a classic example of baseball-themed electro-mechanical pinball machines from the 1970s. The machine captured the essence of America's pastime during an era when both baseball and pinball were at the height of their cultural influence.

The machine's design featured baseball-specific artwork and gameplay elements that simulated various aspects of the sport. The playfield likely included targets representing bases, baseball-themed drop targets, and scoring mechanisms that mimicked baseball scoring conventions. The 'Twin Bill' title refers to a baseball doubleheader, where two games are played in succession, reflecting the machine's potential for extended gameplay sessions.

As an electro-mechanical machine from the mid-1970s, Twin Bill represented the culmination of decades of mechanical pinball engineering, featuring the robust and reliable mechanisms that Gottlieb was known for. The machine would have utilized relay-based scoring, chimes for sound effects, and the distinctive mechanical score reels that characterized pinball machines of this era. While production numbers aren't definitively known, machines from this period typically saw production runs of 2,000 to 4,000 units.
