Juke Box

A tall, portrait-format 1970s-style electro-mechanical playfield laid out like a travelling carnival shooting gallery, inside a wood-framed glass-topped cabinet. The field is symmetrically printed in gold, teal, magenta and white with flat fairground-stall art. Upper left is a booth with a woman in a bonnet beside a large white starburst target reading 100; upper right mirrors it with another 100 target and a painted male attendant holding a rifle, plus a dark painted horse and circus animal. Two white pop targets marked 100 in red starbursts flank a spinner with two reel windows reading SPIN SPIN in red on a magenta ribbon. At the centre sits a large blue-and-white concentric spiral disc with 100 beneath it. Below, a big white circular bonus dial ringed 2000 to 10000 surrounds DOUBLE BONUS MULTI BALL, flanked by slanting magenta lanes marked ADVANCE A BONUS and 8000/10000 BONUS BALL. Two white-flippered bats sit low between blue arrows reading FLIPPER BUTTON; the cream apron carries dense black instruction print, FOR AMUSEMENT ONLY and 5 BALLS PER GAME. Metal ball guides run up both outer sides.

A wide backglass set in a blue metal frame, with a cartoon pop-art background of broad wavy yellow, cyan-blue and orange sunburst bands radiating from the centre. Across the top sits a rounded orange-red lozenge banner carrying the main title in large white slab-serif capitals with a red keyline, reading JUKE BOX, the O drawn as a circular speaker motif. Above it, in small white cursive on black, is the script Chicago Coin, and above that a tiny arched word in yellow block letters. Below the banner are two white segmented score strips, the upper labelled 1 PLAYER and 2 PLAYER and the lower 3 PLAYER and 4 PLAYER, each a row of rectangular windows with pairs of red UP UP arrows between them. Cartoon women and girls populate the art: two at the top corners with arms raised, a band of four dancing across the middle, and two more in the lower corners, one singing into a microphone and one slumped dejectedly over a red cylinder. The lower centre reads BALLY (c) 1984 in small print, and the lower left shows PLAYERS above four red circles numbered 1 2 3 4.

A printed backglass panel in a cream wooden frame, rendered in bright 1970s comic-book airbrush style. The background is a patchwork of magenta, blue, green and red squares behind radiating green and red sunburst wedges, with a sweeping pale-blue musical staff and black notes running across the middle. Centre stage a blonde woman in a green sequinned bra top, leopard-spotted green flared trousers and green high heels stands on a yellow spotlight oval over a compass-star emblem, singing into a silver microphone held in her right hand with her left arm outstretched. Around her are five male musicians: a curly-haired drummer in a teal shirt at a pink drum kit on the right, a man in a white shirt and a man in a hot-pink shirt playing an orange electric guitar at the lower left, and two men at an orange keyboard organ at the lower right. Two lit score windows with five digit reels each read 1ST PLAYER and 2ND PLAYER, both flanked by 4 UP. The title sits in a black marquee sign of round bulbs at the upper right, lettering in orange and yellow. Colours: green, magenta, orange, yellow.
