Knock Out

Knock Out is a pinball machine designed by Harry Mabs and released by Gottlieb in 1950. The game was marketed with the slogan: “Uproarious Slam-Bang Animation in a Real Ring on the Playfield”. It should not to be confused with Knockout by Bally from 1974

A knockout can be achieved by completing the 1 through 5 bumpers scores or hitting the 1-3 and 3-5 targets, as well as the left and right lanes and the rollover button, when lit. When each ball is plunged into play, the blocking gate between the flippers is activated and remains in place until each ball achieves 300k points. By rolling through the right or left lane twice, the big money shot is lighting the right and lift saucers for 500k. Once lit, the saucers remain lit until the end of the game. It is possible to win a replay by completing a certain number of knock outs (10 to 13), selectable by the operator.
