Alben is a French pinball manufacturer active in the late 1950s and early 1960s (circa 1958–1964), known for producing electro-mechanical arcade machines that helped shape the European vintage pinball catalog. Their notable title Samba (1961) is an electro-mechanical, celebration-themed machine featuring four flippers, three pop bumpers, slingshots, standup targets and gobble holes, and remains a sought-after vintage pinball collectible restored and enjoyed by arcade enthusiasts and collectors.
