Flipper Clown

A full-length electromechanical playfield under a clear glass cover, shot straight down from the front, with cream, mustard-yellow, teal, pink and red print. The layout is mirror-symmetric about a vertical centre lane. At the top, three yellow mushroom pop bumpers in a row each wear a printed yellow cap reading '10 WHEN LIT', with red, teal and pink concentric target rings painted around them, and behind them a top banner strip of court-jester/clown faces in red, teal and cream. A wire-form looped ramp and a plastics chute sit in the upper centre. Mid-field has two large round red-bordered pop-bumper housings printed 'OFF YELLOW' over 'POP BUMPERS', flanking a central white column of round drop-target lights numbered 2 up to 15 in red. Below, two teal circular windows read 'LEFT TARGET NUMBER SELECTED' and 'RIGHT TARGET NUMBER SELECTED'. Two yellow triangular panels each carry a red '150 POINTS' arrow and a grinning clown illustration above '10 POINTS WHEN LIT'. Two white flippers with 'FLIPPER' printed on them sit at the bottom, flanked by 'SPIN' labels, with 'LEFT TARGET WHEN LIT' and 'RIGHT TARGET WHEN LIT' plastics between them, and the apron reads 'FLIPPER CLOWN'.

Painted cartoon backglass on a pale wooden head, with a cream/tan outer border printed with a thick orange rounded rectangle. The main field is a light blue night sky with white stars and shooting streaks. Top left: a large orange crescent moon with a grinning clown face (red nose, wide toothy smile) swinging on a chain, carrying a blonde woman in a green sequined top and red polka-dot skirt. Across the top the word CLOWNI in huge white block letters with red drop shadow and black outline; above it GOTTLIEB'S in small white caps and Flipper in red script. Top right: a large yellow smiling moon face with blue eyes and lashes. Mid-left: a red-nosed white clown in a yellow ruffled collar, arms spread. Centre: a yellow 'PREVIOUS HIGH SCORE' window with a blank card, above the score reels 1,998, and a polka-dot bunting banner. Right: a vertical score ladder 100-1000, and a harlequin tumbler toy. Lower third shows a fairground crowd: a couple seen from behind, a blonde woman, a laughing harlequin and a moustached clown in a ruff. Bottom is a purple band with 1-10 player numbers in yellow discs.

A brightly coloured cartoon-style backglass on a flat sky-blue background. Across the top, white-outlined script reads GOTTLIEB'S above a huge word CLOWN in heavy white block capitals with a black outline and dark red drop shadow. Upper left: a huge red crescent moon with a sleeping face (closed eyes, red lips) used as a swing, carrying a blonde woman in a strapless sparkly silver top and a purple polka-dot skirt, red shoes, arms outstretched gripping the chains. Upper right: a large yellow grinning clown head with red cheeks and a red nose. A white rectangular score panel on the right carries two columns of black numbers 1000, 900, 800, 700, 600, 500, 400, 300, 200, 100. Centre: a red-bordered yellow panel reading PREVIOUS HIGH SCORE above a blank white window, and below it A Gottlieb / FLIPPER / SKILL GAME / CHICAGO, ILL. Behind are a red-and-white striped big-top tent with flags and two tiny flying acrobats swinging on trapezes. Lower half: a large clown in a red, white and teal checkered suit and pointed red hat holds a blank white card with four empty windows; crowds of laughing people, a jester, a man in a red shirt, a couple in teal, a blonde woman, and two men in straw hats fill the ground. The bottom strip reads GAME OVER, digits 1-10, and BALLS TO PLAY.
