Full description

Full-length view of an electro-mechanical playfield photographed in its cabinet, so the painted yellow-and-green playfield sits inside polished metal side rails above a chrome coin door with two coin windows reading 2 PLAYS QUARTER, and the black cabinet legs and a coiled ball-launcher cable appear at the bottom. The top third is pale blue sky-green with a large red-and-white flying saucer, a small flying saucer disc and four pop bumper caps printed with pink-and-blue starburst rings; four round mushroom lamps and four bumper bodies marked 100 sit between them. Curved metal ball guides sweep down both upper corners. Across the middle runs a V-shaped run of fifteen rollover lanes printed with the values 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000 and 6000, flanked by SELECT BONUS 100 panels, above a pink arrow reading LITES GATE BUTTONS with SPIN BUTTON GATE and SPIN TOP GATE on either side and 1000 GATE on the right. The lower deck is orange and blue with a green starburst, a spinner in the left orbit, a small upright figure on a raised green star platform, and a white panel reading PANORAMA TILT ENDS BALL. Dominant colours are yellow, orange, green and blue.
