Flying Carpet

Full-length view down a glass-covered playfield, shot from above the apron so the whole field and the lower deck are visible. A bright green central panel is bordered by blue side lanes and orange/amber wedges, all enclosed by a gold-and-rainbow arch at the top and a cream apron at the bottom. The title is spelled out across the middle in twelve separate yellow discs with black letters, two rows of six: F L Y I N G over C A R P E T. Below the letters is a small painted figure reclining on a red-and-white striped flying carpet with a fringed, tasselled edge. Three domed pop bumpers sit at the top, two marked 100 and one marked 50, beneath a row of about six upright green translucent plastic posts. Two striped rocket- or jet-shaped plastics with yellow swept wings and red noses point inwards from the left and right mid-field. Two cream triangular slingshot kickers covered in red and yellow swirl artwork flank the lower centre. The centre of the lower field is a large heavily worn brown oval where the paint has been rubbed away, and two red-and-white flippers with chrome blades point inwards above it. The apron carries a red banner with blue arrows reading FLIPPER BUTTONS ON SIDE OF CABINET, a BALL IN PLAY window, a printed instruction card, and two blue-green LED score displays reading 25 and 2 PL. The glass shows a pale reflection streak at the upper left and the chrome cabinet sides and legs are scratched and tarnished.

A roughly rectangular painted backglass with a wide lime-green and yellow-green central field and deep maroon-purple borders, mounted in a cream/tan speckled cabinet surround with a bright yellow arrow shape painted below it. Upper left carries a large three-dimensional logo: cursive script reading Gottlieb's above the words Flying Carpet in heavy italic magenta-red letters with darker maroon shadowing and a black extruded drop shadow. Upper right shows a four-window mechanical score reel reading 2,6,6,6 inside a cream window with a tan border, set inside a painted Moorish archway of striped rainbow bands and blue tilework. The centre is a crowded cartoon fantasy scene: a green-skinned genie with a magenta turban and gold hoop earrings leans out of the scroll, his long green smoke trail curling down to a gold magic lamp at bottom centre. To his left sit two turbaned men, one in orange-and-gold robes with a white beard and jewel-studded headwear, one in red and gold with a feathered cap, both beaming. At far left a brunette woman in a red top and green-gold beaded harem trousers gestures with open mouth beside a blue-turbaned figure. At right a blonde woman in a green top, magenta skirt and wide beaded belt kneels by a gold hookah, while behind her a crowned bearded man and two blue-toned turbaned men blow long curved horns.
