Full description

Illuminated electro-mechanical playfield seen from above through worn glass, with white side rails and the red-and-white striped apron and coin door at the bottom. The art is a bold red, yellow and pale blue lightning-and-sunburst design, not a character scene: two enormous red lightning bolts with cream cores zig-zag down the centre, crossed by a broad cream central wedge. The upper half holds three pop bumpers in a loose triangle, each capped with a cream disc bearing a five-pointed red star over a blue-and-white sunburst skirt. Concentric pink-and-red target rings with red stars fill both lower slingshot areas. A diagonal bank of round white drop targets beside a ladder of lit inserts (10,000 down to 1,000) runs left of centre under a 'LIGHTS EXTRA BALL LANE' panel, with a second striped insert ladder on the right. Stylised eye-and-feather swirls fill both top corners. Two white rubber-tipped flippers sit above a cream apron carrying an instruction card, 'FOR AMUSEMENT ONLY', and a red-bordered QR code panel. No people or animals appear; the imagery is pure geometric energy graphics.

Distinctive

The most memorable element is a huge winged woman flying horizontally across the right two-thirds of the glass, her turquoise-green body, outstretched arm and long streaming brown hair set against a glowing orange circular vortex. A cascading stack of overlapping five-pointed stars, each with its own red-lit score window reading '00', runs down the left side, labelled 1ST through 4TH with a numbered 1-2-3-4 'Players' column. The title is a long sloping green cursive word with a gold outline, and the small phrase 'IN THE SKY' sits beside the figure's wing. Small green capitals reading 'STERN' appear just below the title.

Full description

Illuminated backglass in a red wooden frame with a silver inner border. The art is an airbrushed fantasy illustration: a large turquoise-green and flesh-toned winged female figure with long flowing brown hair, drawn in profile flying to the right across the frame, her arm outstretched forward, one leg kicked back, wearing only a small loincloth-like costume, her face painted in a green mask-like style. Behind her is a swirling orange and yellow circular vortex or sunburst with concentric rings, set against a deep red and maroon cloudy sky with dark silhouetted tree/foliage shapes along the bottom edge. Across the top, a big slanted cursive logo in dark green with a yellow-gold outline reads 'Pectrumama'; beneath and left of it, small white capitals read 'IN THE SKY', and the maker's name 'STERN' appears in small green capitals. The left third of the glass is taken by a cascading column of five-pointed star shapes, each outlined in green, pink, teal and white, overlapping one another, each containing a dark rectangular mechanical score window showing red seven-segment digits reading '00'. Beside the stars, small white ordinal labels read '1ST', '2ND', '3RD' and '4TH'. Down the far left edge is a vertical row of four small yellow/orange circles numbered 1, 2, 3 and 4, and the word 'Players' in yellow serif letters below them. Two further small digit windows sit along the lower centre, one reading '00' and one '1'. Colours: deep red, orange, dark green, teal.
