Full description

Full-view photograph of a wide-body pinball playfield seen from above under glass, photographed in a home room. Dominant colours are metallic silver/chrome, red, black and electric blue, with an orange-and-yellow fiery burst dominating the centre. Down the middle of the playfield, printed in large red block letters with a white and black drop shadow, is the title DIALED IN, sitting below a row of five gold-framed award plaques. Two large chrome-rimmed circular areas flank the centre (a ring of purple-LED round bumpers on the right, a matching ring of bumpers at upper left of centre), and a tall blue-lit dot-matrix display with a gold frame sits in the upper right quadrant. In the centre art a red-shirted man raises both arms in triumph against the orange explosion, with a city skyline and a dark-haired woman in a blue-lit doorway at lower right. The lower apron repeats DIALED IN in red on a torn-poster panel. A silver rectangular ramp box with a big black 3 and the word STATION occupies the upper left, with a red-and-white chevron arrow ramp below it. Four green round inserts glow on the lower apron.

The whole backglass is framed as a live television broadcast: the city is seen past a wall of CRT monitors and a fake news chyron, with a grinning moustached newsman in a yellow explosion burst at the right of the title. The other unforgettable element is the enormous arched DIALED IN logo in red block letters, split by a radiating orange starburst. A modern blue and red LCD-style status strip runs along the lower edge with LOCK IS LIT and a scrolling joke-news ticker beneath it.

Full description

A modern backglass printed to look like a view through a dark television studio control-room window onto a dense futuristic city. The upper third is a curved collage of glowing CRT monitors and red laser-like beams behind a huge arched title, DIALED IN, in chunky red letters with a yellow outline, black drop shadow and an orange glow burst where the two words meet. Below the title sits a mock television news chyron: BREAKING NEWS and In depth coverage of today's events on the left, THE SKY IS FALLING! and At Jersey Jack Pinball on the right, with POWER STRIP and JJP stickers between. The centre panel is a photorealistic, slightly hazy aerial view of a grey-and-steel city of skyscrapers with lit windows, a blue water tower, rooftop broadcast masts with concentric rings, a lit billboard face, and towers stacked with yellow TV and music-note signage, ringed by dark green hills and a lake. Along the bottom runs a dark blue LCD-style status bar reading LOCK IS LIT with a red score panel, and a cream ticker strip of joke headlines beneath it.

Two giant yellow TV screens under the logo, each carrying a panicking broadcaster in front of a wall of flame, one male and one female. A photorealistic aerial cityscape of grey skyscrapers below the cartoon banner, so the whole piece mixes comic-book art with a photographic skyline.

Kind Description
Man Fair-haired male newsreader in a dark suit and tie, on the left yellow screen, arm raised in a fist, serious expression, wall of orange flame behind
Woman Dark-haired woman on the right yellow screen, eyes wide and mouth open in shock, both hands raised, blue-tinted shadows, orange flame behind

Full description

A wide backglass in a black-matted border, split into three horizontal zones. The top band is a montage of a futuristic TV-studio wall: at far left a glowing blue atomic orb of concentric rings, at far right a large robotic eye with a red iris and metal lens, red laser beams and a satellite dish between them, and small dark monitors showing a remote-control van and a red rocket. Centre of the band is the huge title DIALED IN! in chunky red capitals with a heavy black outline and a yellow swoosh behind, a white lens-flare burst where the two words meet. Flanking the title are two large yellow television screens: the left shows a fair-haired male newsreader in a suit raising one arm before a wall of fire, the right shows a dark-haired woman with wide eyes and open mouth raising both hands, also against flames, both with Breaking News lower thirds. The main lower panel is a photorealistic aerial view of a dense grey modern city: skyscrapers with antennas, a domed white observatory, a red-topped tower, a curving elevated motorway, a green sports field, hills and sea at the horizon. In the foreground lie huge black touchscreen tablets and a white circular dish. A blue message bar reads LOCK IS LIT above a grey news ticker; red and blue score panels fill the right of the lower band.

A full-coverage backglass art piece built as three horizontal bands. The top third is a giant curved red block-letter logo reading DIALED IN with a white and black drop shadow, set against a wall of stacked television sets showing burning explosions and faces; two large screens flank the logo, one showing a fair-haired man in a red shirt raising a fist in front of a yellow-orange fireball, the other a blue-lit woman screaming with both hands up beside her face.

Full description

A photograph of a modern pinball backbox shot head-on in dim light, so the cabinet reads as unpainted black wood around the edges. Only the top third is painted backglass artwork: a narrow dark header panel at the very top carrying a small white-on-black nameplate, and below it a large comic-book style title in chunky slanted capitals filled with a yellow-to-orange gradient, outlined heavily in red and black, with white and yellow speed-line rays bursting outward behind it. Angled orange and yellow stripes fill the upper corners, and small pink and orange painted fragments are tucked into the top left and top right corners but are too small and dark to resolve at this resolution. The lower two thirds of the frame is occupied by a bright dot-matrix display showing a blue and white futuristic city skyline of clustered skyscrapers under a pale blue sky, with a dark blue banner strip across the lower part and a red panel at the right edge. Hazy reflections streak across the display glass. No human or character figures are clearly visible; the artwork present is abstract title lettering plus a rendered cityscape on the screen.
