C.E.A. Electronics Corporation

C.E.A. — Costruzioni Elettroniche Automatiche di Pavone & c. — was a small pinball manufacturer based in Bologna, Italy, one of several local outfits that built machines in the city during the 1970s pinball boom. The company, headed by Dante Pavone, produced its first documented title, Lucky Shot, in the mid-to-late 1970s.

Over the following years C.E.A. built a short run of solid-state and electromechanical machines: Alpha 2001 and Timothy T. in 1977, Fly Man and the four-player Satellite in 1978, and Super Tris and Three Aces in 1979. No C.E.A. titles have been documented after 1979, and the company appears to have stopped producing pinball machines around that time.
