Apollo / Blast Off

Full-length electro-mechanical playfield photographed in its cabinet, shot straight down with glare from the glass and a metal ball-shooter bar crossing the top. The art is a space/rocket countdown theme in bright cartoon colours: deep blue sky, olive-green hills, yellow rocket-burst panels and a rainbow arch. Two grinning clowns in red-and-white hats lean in at the upper left and upper right holding rocket ships, flanking a green domed mushroom cap at top centre printed ADVANCE WHEN LIT. Four round pop bumper caps with red, yellow and cream starburst skirts sit two-by-two below the arch, each printed POINTS 10 WHEN LIT. A white rectangular banner reading 100 POINTS & ADVANCE WHEN LIT spans above them, and a black-and-yellow chequered countdown lane of numbered round inserts runs down the centre to COUNT DOWN, LAUNCH ROCKET and a WHEN LIT arrow. The flippers are white oval bats printed FLIPPER, with red flipper-butt on yellow decals at both lower corners, SPECIAL tabs beside each slingshot, 300 WHEN LIT teardrops on both side rails, and an INSTRUCTIONS card plus BLAST OFF / 5 BALLS PER GAME card along the bottom apron.

A late-1960s style painted rocket-launch backglass, split into two halves of imagery. Upper left: a red script manufacturer logo inside a white circle over a cream-and-tan cloud bank, with the huge word APOLLO in tall, narrow, blocky red capitals with white and dark-blue outlining filling the upper left quadrant. A yellow-and-green twin-rotor helicopter flies at mid-left, a tiny yellow-green escort jet higher up, and a small orange capsule parachutes down through the clouds. Right side: a red-and-white four-window mechanical score display reads 1 9 2 5 in black digits on white cards, mounted on a red steel launch gantry with cables and a red hut. Below it a red-railed open-air control room holds four small figures - a woman in a pink dress, a man in a white shirt, a seated person in yellow at a console and a figure in red - above a red panel lettered BALL IN PLAY. Lower left: a great cream-and-gold rocket blast plume ringed by blue and white smoke clouds, a black-and-white banded rocket on a red launch pad, and five arrow-topped mission cards reading 500, 3000, SPECIAL, 300, 500, the SPECIAL one a red arrow. Style is flat, saturated, hand-painted airbrush with hard outlines; dominant colours are red, cream, sky blue, black.

Translucent backglass showing a coastal rocket-launch site in flat comic-book cartoon art with heavy black outlines. Upper left: a white arrow-shaped banner reading BALLS TO PLAY, beneath it an orange cursive Williams logo with a circled W, and a huge title BLAST OFF in tall red block capitals with white highlight and dark drop shadow, on a yellow-orange cloud. Upper right: a white box labelled PREVIOUS HI-SCORE above a four-window mechanical score reel reading 1849 in black digits on cream cards. The middle is dominated by a huge orange-gold rocket nozzle blasting white smoke and yellow flame, with a red SPECIAL arrow pointing up and score values 50 300 300 50 on white arrow placards. A black-and-white banded rocket stands on a pad in front. Right side shows a green headland with a helipad marked H, a yellow helicopter, small boats on a blue bay, and an orange steel derrick tower with an office cabin cantilevered out. Inside the cabin several men in hard hats work at drafting tables beside a blackboard with a rocket drawing. Bottom left reads GAME OVER in yellow-green outlined letters over green ground.

A painted sci-fi lunar-landing scene framed by a plain black border. Upper left, white arrow-shaped banner reading BALLS TO PLAY in black capitals; below it the large title Lunar Shot in fat red-orange serif letters with a pale outline. The sky is a wash of pink, mauve and lilac with a pale glow near the top centre, over rolling purple and magenta hills striped with lighter bands. Left of centre sits a huge gold domed structure, like a foil-covered landing module, ribbed with vertical lines and pierced by a tall arched opening, standing on mottled yellow-green ground. In the centre foreground a slim white rocket with black bands stands upright on a black pad, with a slimmer red-and-white rocket beside it. Right of centre a white rectangular reel panel holds four windows, each showing a black 0. Upper right a tan lattice gantry tower rises against the sky, and the right side is filled by a red-brown and teal industrial building with gantries, ladders and platforms. Below, a turquoise area suggests water or shadowed crater floor, crossed by a grey lattice walkway running diagonally to the bottom edge. No human figures are visible.

A tall portrait-format backglass showing a rocket-launch complex in flat, bright comic-book colour. The upper third is pale blue sky with soft clouds; at top left a white arrow banner reads BALLS TO PLAY, above a red cursive logotype and the huge title BLAST OFF in tall red block capitals with a dark outline. At top right a white square sign reads PREVIOUS HI-SCORE over an empty row, and below it mechanical score reels show the digits 0 2 4 4. The lower two thirds is a bird's-eye view of a launch site: green grass divided by a pale concrete apron, a mustard-yellow domed structure on the left trailing a billowing white smoke plume, a white rocket with red fins upright on a red-and-white pedestal in the centre, a red lattice gantry tower with an orange cab and diagonal bracing on the right, and a curving grey track with an orange flatbed rail car. Two tiny workers in pale clothes stand on the grass mid-distance; a green helicopter hovers over the left horizon.
