THE ARCADE CLUB HOUSE: G. M. LABORATORIES ELECTRIC TABLE SOCCER PINBALL GAME, eleven mechanised players including goal keeper, five balls, one penny slot, later overhanging light pendant with independent on/off switch, 193 (h) (with lamp) / 92 (h) (without lamp) x 39 x 102cms (d)Auctioneer's Note: Pinball originated from the 18th-century French game of bagatelle, which was played on a mini pool table where players used a cue to strike balls off various pins and into scoring pockets. In 1871, British inventor Montague Redgrave enhanced the game by replacing the balls with marbles, reducing the size of the table, and substituting the cue with a coiled spring and plunger. Modern pinball machines started appearing on the market in the early 1930s. While coin-operated, they lacked some of the features we associate with pinball machines today, such as bumpers, flippers, and tilt mechanisms. As an affordable form of entertainment, pinball gained popularity during the Great Depression, although its growth was temporarily halted during World War II, as U.S. manufacturing resources were redirected to the war effort. Pinball machines were banned in major cities like Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles from the 1930s to the mid-1970s due to their alleged connections to organized crime and gambling. New York Mayor Fiorello La Guardia claimed that pinball was a "racket dominated by interests heavily tainted with criminality," and his successor, Mayor William O'Dwyer, officially made pinball machines illegal in 1948. The ban remained in place for 28 years until 1976, when pinball player and designer Roger Sharpe demonstrated to the New York City Council that pinball was a game of skill, not chance.Provenance: private collection Vale of GlamorganComments: in all around good condition, some minor play marks to table service. Restored by enthusiast, with restoration notes, keys, spare balls, etc., has been plugged and played, however please regard as electrically untested
