Support Our WorkWest Club was an electro-mechanical pinball machine produced by Italian manufacturer Zaccaria during the mid-1970s, representing the company's efforts to capture market share during the golden age of pinball. The machine's theme appears to draw inspiration from the contemporary fascination with Western entertainment venues and nightlife establishments that were popular in Europe during this period.
The game featured classic EM-era mechanical components including pop bumpers, drop targets, and spinning targets typical of mid-1970s pinball design. Like many Zaccaria games of this era, West Club would have utilized the company's characteristic sound effects and chime units that gave their machines a distinctive audio signature different from their American counterparts.
As one of Zaccaria's releases during their early period of pinball manufacturing, West Club represents an important piece of European pinball history. The company was one of the few successful European pinball manufacturers able to compete with the dominant American companies, and their machines from this era are particularly valued by collectors for their unique styling and gameplay characteristics.
