Full description

A pale yellow-green pinball playfield with five pop bumpers clustered in the upper half, arranged as one centre bumper flanked by two pairs. Every bumper cap carries the same small blue print reading 100 POINTS EVERY TIME on white starburst discs ringed with red, blue and green pointed rays. Below them, a central red-brown lane runs down the middle carrying white lettering 1000 HOLE SCORES LIT VALUE above a vertical stack of insert windows reading 10,000, 5000, 3000 and 2000. Symmetric teal and tan scroll panels flank this centre lane, each holding three round inserts (1000, 1000, 500 on the left; 3000, 1000, 500 on the right) and small numbered standup targets 1, 2, 3. Pink-red rollovers read UP POST on the left and SHOOT AGAIN on the right, with DOWN POST printed on a cream arrow lower down. A red scroll banner near the flippers reads SAME PLAYER SHOOTS WHEN LIT around a dark hole. The upper corners carry loud concentric swirl artwork in red, orange, pink and magenta. Two triangular side plastics near the lower playfield each show a blonde woman drawn in flat comic outline; each is scored 1000. Colour is dominated by the sickly yellow-green field, hot pink and red plastics, and teal.

Full description

A full rectangular backglass with a flat turquoise-teal ground, framed on all four sides by an ornate border of cream, pink, yellow and violet scrollwork, flames and teardrop motifs. Across the top centre a cream lozenge banner carries the word HONEY in huge red-orange slab capitals with a yellow highlight and dark outline; above it a small pink ribbon reads Williams in white script. Four black recessed rectangles hold white mechanical score windows: the upper-left one shows the digits 4 6 3 9 0 with black numerals on white reels, the other three read 0 0 0 0 0. Four small shield-shaped player plaques surround the art: 1 UP on pale lavender with a tiny bee, 2 UP on blue with a bee, 3 UP on purple with a bee, 4 UP on red with a bee, each lettered in chunky white. The centre of the glass is a pink oval medallion framing a young woman with long wavy bubblegum-pink hair, thick lashes and a yellow-and-orange striped top, one arm raised; her head repeats three times above and beside the oval in overlapping profile and three-quarter views. A large orange, pink and cream amaryllis-like flower with a curling stem erupts above the oval. Lower left reads BALL IN PLAY in black with a solid black downward arrow. Lower right, on a pink plaque, black numerals 1 2 3 4 sit above red-and-blue text 1 TO 4 GAME PLAY. Airbrushed psychedelic 1970s style.
