Knockout

Full-view colour photograph of an electro-mechanical pinball playfield seen from above through its glass, lit by warm incandescent bulbs. The playfield is dominated by a flat, brightly coloured pop-bumper-era design in saturated red, yellow, blue, green and black on a pale cream woodgrain-toned background, with a metal ball-guide rail arcing across the top. Two large circular pop bumpers with white and blue starburst surrounds sit symmetrically left and right of a raised pink plastic ramp/raceway in the upper centre. Below them are two round target-bank areas with pink and red starburst surrounds, and a central animal-face motif (a snarling cat-like head with round eyes and whiskers) in the mid-field. A tall red zigzag lightning-bolt shape runs down the centre of the lower playfield carrying a ladder of round yellow-bulb inserts. Pale metal slingshots flank it. The lower apron is pale woodgrain with two magenta-and-white flipper bats, two round flipper-button caps marked with printed black arrows, and two white cards at the apron corners. The cabinet front is black with two amber-lit rectangular windows.

A boxing-themed backglass with a flat sky-blue background framed by a green crosshatched outer border. Across the top, the title KNOCK-OUT appears in fat rounded red bubble capitals with a heavy black outline and a blue drop shadow, with a row of ten red boxing-glove-shaped light bulbs arcing above it. Two green jagged starburst panels with yellow spike borders hold white five-reel score windows (all showing 0), flanking a pair of red boxing gloves marked 1 UP and 2 UP in yellow. A red script Bally logo sits at the centre above a yellow starburst containing a grey rectangular slot. The main scene shows two bare-chested, tanned, black-haired boxers trading punches: the left fighter in red trunks with yellow side stripes, the right fighter in green trunks with a red waistband, both wearing red gloves with white cuffs. At the right, a referee in a yellow shirt with black stripes, black bow tie and blue trousers raises one hand in a counting gesture, with a PRESS BOX above him showing TELEVISION and RADIO booths. A dense crowd of smiling spectators in red, yellow and green shirts fills the bottom band. Below the playfield window, red text reads 1 OR 2 CAN PLAY and BALL IN PLAY beside yellow 1 and 2 discs.

Boxing-themed backglass in flat comic-book style, framed by a dark green quilted/diamond-patterned border. Across the top, huge pink-red block-serif letters with black outline spell KNOCKOUT, arched slightly. Above it sits a row of ten maroon shield shapes numbered 10 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 in white, flanked by two lime-green jagged starburst panels; the right one carries the yellow text SAME PLAYER SHOOTS AGAIN. Two green spiky score windows sit below the title: the left shows five mechanical reels reading 9 2 4 2 0, the right five reels reading 0 0 0 0 0. Between them float two maroon boxing gloves marked 1 UP and 2 UP in yellow, each with 100,000 in white below, alongside a yellow crescent moon, scattered playing cards and small stars. A red script logo sits centrally. The main scene shows two shirtless, muscular, black-haired boxers in a ring on the left: the left fighter in red trunks with white-striped waistband throws a right hook while the right fighter, in pale trunks and red gloves, reels back with his mouth open. A referee/broadcaster in a lime-yellow shirt, black bow tie and light blue trousers stands right with one arm raised. Behind him is a wooden press-box booth labelled PRESS BOX, TELEVISION and RADIO, with small seated men inside. A yellow starburst marked 24 floats mid-scene. The dark blue background is sprinkled with red and yellow stars, and a crowd of spectator heads fills the bottom edge.
