Playfield

  • blue

Fingerprint: CANASTA 86, two jumping basketball players mid-contest (white KINGS 31 and green 4 jerseys), hands converging on tan ball above heads, red triangular SPECIAL insert dead-centre, K5-UP round badges flanking, large white 86 in red circle upper-right, carport basketball-court woodgrain, red-crimson background, CANASTA banner yellow-lettered top, multicolour diamond plates, net-and-balls emblem, airbrushed realism with black keylines

Distinctive

The pair of opposing basketball players mid-jump, hands converging on a single tan basketball over their heads, one in a white KINGS number 31 jersey and one green number 4, is the single most recognisable image. A large red triangular SPECIAL insert with a pink flaming arrow sits dead centre, flanked by K5 and UP round badges. The top right carries a big white '86' inside a red circle, with a CANASTA banner in yellow letters with red outline running along the top rail. The lower apron is unusually busy, combining an English/Portuguese/Spanish instruction card with a four-fan-panel EXTRA BALL and a SPECIAL SCORING wedge reading 1,500,000 and 2,500,000. Strong white window reflections wash out the upper-right quarter of the playfield, obscuring the ramp and figure detail there.

Full description

Full-length basketball-themed pinball playfield photographed under glass with heavy glare in the upper right quadrant. Background is a warm tan/orange parquet-basketball-court woodgrain with a red-to-crimson centre. Two stylised painted male basketball players dominate the lower centre: a white player in a white KINGS jersey with three red stars, magenta side panels and number 31 in blue with red outline, arms raised holding a tan ball, and a green-skinned/green-limbed opponent in a green KINGS jersey with number 4 in yellow, hand also on the ball, both mid-jump contesting a shot. Upper area shows a small goalpost/court frame with two yellow rectangular cards, a red arrow, a large white '86' in a red circle at top right, and the word CANASTA in a red-outlined yellow banner across the top. Centre carries a red triangular SPECIAL insert flanked by K5 / K3 and UP / FAST round badges, SPECIALS banners reading 'Completing all Targets', two SPECIAL WHEN shield panels with a net-and-balls emblem, four lane change lanes along the left edge with round lamp inserts, and pink-bordered EXTRA BALL WHEN panels low left and right.

Canasta 86 backglass

Backglass

  • yellow
  • blue
  • pink
  • orange

Fingerprint: CANASTA arched yellow-pink striped capitals, basketball player green JORDAN jersey extending upward dunking orange-ball white-net, massive score-reel display left-half showing 0673220 red numerals, arena crowd faces yellow-lit, advertising hoardings packed bottom-edge, muscular dunking athlete dominating composition right-side, competitive sports arena spectacle, championship-game excitement captured mid-action

Distinctive

The single most memorable element is the airborne duel at the right: a towering player in a green JORDAN 10 jersey soaring to dunk an orange basketball into a white net, with his body cut off at the ankles by the bottom of the frame. The word CANASTA arches above him in enormous yellow-and-pink arched capitals. The other striking feature is that half the glass is given over to the physical score display - four stacked black reels with orange surrounds reading 0673220 in red, which many people remember as a strange red number floating inside the basketball art. A third distinguishing detail is the crowd of advertising hoardings along the bottom, packed with newspaper mastheads and a small Spanish manufacturing credit line.

  • Packed crowd of small yellow-lit faces behind the players
  • Basketball hoop with white net in the top-right corner

Full description

A portrait-format painted backglass dominated by a huge arched title across the top: CANASTA, in thick yellow block capitals with pink-and-white striped inline shading, a black keyline and a pale blue-grey drop shadow, arching over the artwork. The scene is a low-angle view of a packed indoor basketball arena. Three large figures leap for a ball at the right: a Black man in a green jersey reading JORDAN above a red 10, yellow/gold shorts, green socks with yellow and red bands, white high-top shoes, right arm fully extended up to touch the orange ball at the white net of a hoop in the top-right corner; beside him a light-skinned player in a pale pink-and-white striped jersey reading BULLS, both arms up, one finger pointing; and at the right edge a man seen from behind in a white LAKERS jersey with red number 12 and red trim, white socks with blue-red bands. The left half is occupied by the score unit: a black and orange-framed stack of four windowed reels, the top one showing red digits 0673220, plus a small amber 19 90 window below, flanked by red arrow panels reading CREDIT, BALL IN PLAY and MATCH, and gold numbers 1 and 2 at the left. A maroon banner reads EXTRA BALL above a green BUMP panel. Below the players is a dense crowd of small yellow-lit faces and a wall of advertising hoardings, ending in a band of orange floor boards at the bottom.
