Bobby Orr's Power Play

A 1970s electro-mechanical pinball playfield photographed under glass in a wooden cabinet, with the metal apron and two white instruction cards filling the bottom of the frame. The layout is symmetrical and V-shaped: two big triangular bumpers capped in red-and-cream with blue stars and gold discs point inward from the lower left and right, and two slingshots with red rubber and chrome posts sit at mid-height. Three pop bumpers sit across the top, each wearing a round white cap ringed with red triangular points reading 1000 WHEN LIT. A blue arch of white stars runs along the top arch. The centre of the field is dominated by a large gold-outlined V of scoring lanes numbered 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000, 8000, 9000 and 20,000 with 10,000 on the crossbar. Left of centre is a Native American head in profile with a red-and-black feathered war bonnet, labelled CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS, and near it a large red winged hockey-stick emblem. The right side carries SPECIAL panels and 1000/3000 WHEN LIT gates. Dominant colours are red, blue, cream-white and gold, in airbrushed silkscreen style.

A 1970s-era electro-mechanical pinball playfield in blue, red and white, shot straight down from above through the glass. The playfield is a patriotic space/astronaut theme: a deep blue starfield background scattered with white starbursts, a large red banded area across the lower third, and two pale winged horses rendered in red-and-white line art flanking the centre. Two large red pop bumper caps with white starburst rings sit left and right of a blue-glowing saucer hole; a chrome wire orbit runs up the left and around the top. The mid-playfield is crowded with rectangular standing-target banks printed with red lettering, yellow and red value inserts (3000, 6000, 9000, 12000, 15000) and a fan of coloured star inserts. The lower playfield is a black field with a triangle of cream round inserts scoring 1000 to 20000, two triangular plastic guides (one with a red maple leaf, one with the US flag), two flippers, and a wooden-looking ball cutout. A handwritten card taped to the apron reads 'Bally Backs Sometims! No EBs Good Luck!'. Condition is fair to good, with heavy dust, some yellowed plastics and worn playfield coating.

A hockey backglass framed by a wavy scalloped ribbon border in red, white and navy over a pale mint ice-blue field. Top left carries a yellow cursive 'Bally' logo; the two-line title reads small red script 'Bobby Orr' above enormous red block capitals with white and navy outline, 'POWERPLAY'. A tiny copyright line sits in the blue sky band at top right beside four stars. The centre panel shows two players before a grey chain-link goal net: a blond white male forward in a red jersey, black shorts and skates, lunging with a taped stick, and a masked goaltender in a blue 'CANADA' sweater with a red maple leaf, striped pads and brown glove. Left edge: three white fleur-de-lis, a red maple-leaf roundel with yellow '1', the word 'Canada', and lower down 'Canada' beside a roundel with '3'. Right edge: two dark-skinned profile heads in red-and-yellow feathered headdresses above yellow discs numbered '2' and '4', each captioned 'Black Hawks'. Six white rectangular windows are inset around the centre, and 'Power Play Hockey' appears in small blue script below the players.

Illuminated backglass with a black night-sky background, big white slab-serif title PROFESSIONAL arched across the upper third, each letter shaded with a rainbow/orange-to-green-to-blue gradient and a pale drop shadow. A small dark plaque at top centre reads HIGH GAME TO DATE, flanked by two round chrome-rimmed porthole buttons at the top corners. Below the title sit four rectangular red-framed mechanical score windows in chrome bezels: upper-left glowing amber showing 82010 with a small green 1 beside it, upper-right showing 00 with a blue 2 beside it, and two dimmer windows at lower left and lower right both showing 00. Centre stage: a tanned man in a white short-sleeved shirt reading PRO PINBALL PLAYER in green block letters, dark shorts, high heels, hands on hips, rendered as a dark silhouette figure edged in white light. Flanking him are two pin-up women: left, a brunette in a blue halter dress with sheer dark trousers, one leg raised, black heels, hand on hip; right, a brunette in a yellow-green frilled mini-dress with sheer black stockings, laughing, leaning in. Red palm-tree silhouettes sit at mid-left and mid-right, black fern/palm fronds line the lower third over a turquoise pool-and-horizon band. Right side has BALL IN PLAY above a red-framed window showing 0. Along the bottom, white lettering reads 1 to 4 can play and OFFICIAL TOURNAMENT MODEL, above a red GAME OVER window in a black bar. Glossy reflections streak across the glass.

Backglass painted in bold comic-book style, dominated by a huge two-line title: a red script name Bobby Orr above the words POWER PLAY in massive crimson block capitals with a pale blue and white drop shadow, laid over a teal-grey ice-blue field. Top left carries a flowing script Bally logo in gold with red outline, a cream-coloured maple-leaf roundel holding a red maple leaf and a gold 1, the word Canada in red script, and white fleur-de-lis emblems on a deep blue field. Top right is a dark blue night sky scattered with five silver five-pointed stars, over a profile head emblem of a stern Native American chief in a full brown, tan, green and yellow feather headdress, beside Black Hawks lettering and gold player numerals 2 and 4 on red leaf-shaped badges. Centre and lower half show two ice hockey players at the goal net: a Canadian goalie in a bright blue jersey crouching in a richly decorated red, gold and white ornate mask, and a skater in a vivid pink-magenta jersey with red gloves gripping a wooden stick. Three chrome-edged reel windows run across the middle, with a blue ball-in-play window, and red Game Over and 1-4 Can Play panels at the base.
