Full description

Full view of an electro-mechanical pinball playfield seen through a glass top with its wooden lockdown bar and metal coin door still in frame, so the lower apron, coin box and part of the cabinet side art are visible. The playfield is dominated by a flat, saturated yellow-gold background with olive-green and red racing-themed art. At the top a brown-and-grey trapezoid panel shows a bank of nine dark triangular lane guides numbered 1 to 6 in white, above the slogan 1ST HORSES RUN FASTER. Down each side runs a red diagonal ramp lane marked CHANGE and 500 POINTS. The centre is a tall dark grey vertical panel of spiky brush-stroke shapes holding white 10 / 100 / 1000 WHEN LIT, flanked by two white oval plastics reading Special WHEN LIT. Below, a zig-zag chevron band in red, teal, blue and green reads STAR ADVANCES with 1-3-5 and 2-4-6 and circled numbers 8, 11, 2, 4. Two orange oval islands read 1-3-5 HORSES RUN FASTER WHEN LIT and 2-4-6 HORSES RUN FASTER WHEN LIT, each with a white round bumper cap. Two pale blue trapezoid targets below read SCORES LEFT TAP VALUES and SCORES RIGHT TAP VALUES with WHEN LIT. Two mirrored red triangular plastics at the lower corners carry cartoon racehorses with green and yellow jockeys. Two red flippers sit above a white apron, flanked by FLIPPER BUTTON arrows. The style is flat hand-painted cartoon lithography with hard black outlines.

Full description

A landscape-format electro-mechanical backglass. Top half shows a night-green countryside with a dark pine-forest treeline, a pale yellow full moon low on the left and sweeping yellow moonbeams across the sky. Two large black-rimmed peanut-shaped white score windows sit left and right, backed by white plastic reel numbers 1 2 6 9 and 2 3 0 5, with black-and-cream cat-ear plaques above them reading 1 UP and 2 UP in black block letters. Between them stands a tall red-and-white striped post reading 1 or 2 CAN PLAY. Below, a grey banner carries large red western slab-serif lettering HAYBURNERS II with a drop shadow, preceded by a small white circle W logo and a red cursive Williams signature. A cartoon leering male hunter in a green cap, red polka-dot shirt, yellow trousers and black boots dives head-first across the banner, reaching for a brown duck held aloft by a long-necked bird. The middle third is a printed race-track illustration with grey road, yellow lane lines, purple trees and lamp posts; two cartoon motorcyclists race, one on a red bike at left, one tumbling on a purple bike. Blue letters FINISH sit below. The bottom strip shows six large numbered oval windows 1-6 in alternating white, orange, green, yellow, blue and red, with a yellow GAME OVER window and black BALL IN PLAY on a green band.

Fingerprint: Two black cartoon horse-head score displays with cream muzzles, title lettering as block capitals made of tiny square tiles reading HAYBURNERS II, framed horse-race scene like television screen with six numbered racehorses in coloured silks, torch-bearing horse statue and leaping jockey above title

Distinctive

The score displays themselves are the standout: they are shaped like two black cartoon horse heads with big cream muzzles, and the title lettering is rendered as block capitals made out of rows of tiny square tiles, with a letter that reads like a figure 8. A framed horse-race scene runs across the middle like a television screen, complete with six numbered racehorses in coloured silks. A torch-bearing horse statue and a leaping jockey break the frame just above the title. Large painted horse heads intrude from both bottom corners in tan with a red bridle.

Full description

A square racing-themed backglass in flat cartoon line art, dominated by a deep green field with a yellow-orange sunburst band behind the top. Two identical black cartoon horse-head shapes sit in the upper corners, each with a cream rounded muzzle panel holding four roller-style score digits (left 1760, right 0000) and a tan angled plaque above reading 1 UP and 2 UP. Centre top is a tall narrow red-and-cream striped box reading 2 CAN PLAY vertically. Below it a jockey in yellow-and-black silks leans forward over a leaping green horse, beside a dark horse statue holding a flaming torch and a huge diagonal white streak with a red-and-green swirl. The centre title is red script plus large pink block letters built from tiny square tiles, with a roman numeral II. Mid-panel is a framed picture-in-picture of a horse race on a grey track against a yellow sky. Along the bottom sit six arched numbered windows 1 to 6, alternating cream, red and teal, above GAME OVER and BALL PLAY legends.
