Fingerprint: Red-haired woman grinning arm flung up lightning bolt exploding gold bracelet, 'LIGHTNING BALL' title split by jagged yellow lightning, concentric rainbow bullseye target behind, stepped MILLION score ladder 1-7 right panel, deep magenta-purple background, electro-mechanical showgirl painted style
A grinning red-haired woman with one arm flung straight up as a lightning bolt explodes from her gold bracelet, in front of a huge concentric rainbow bullseye. The title LIGHTNING BALL is split across two lines with a jagged yellow lightning bolt wedged between them. A stepped scoring panel on the right pairs vertical MILLION lettering with the numbers 1 to 7, beside a THOUSANDS value chart. A white THIS MACHINE IS NOT FOR SALE sticker sits over the lower centre, and the glass shows a scratched, dusty surface with reflections.

A wood-framed electro-mechanical backglass with a deep magenta-purple background. Top left, small yellow caps read CUTLER'S above a huge title in italic red-and-cream block capitals with a yellow lightning bolt between the two lines: LIGHTNING over BALL. A smiling red-haired woman dominates the centre, arms raised, right arm thrust up with a gold lightning bolt spray bursting from her bracelet, left arm sweeping right across her chest. She wears a black beaded bra top with yellow sunburst motifs, a red star pendant and yellow beaded necklaces and bracelets. Behind her a large concentric rainbow target of teal, orange, yellow, green, cream and magenta rings, and a white arc at lower centre carries the word LIGHTNING in red outlined capitals; tiny cartoon people in colourful clothing run in a ring segment at lower left of the target. Upper right, a cream stepped panel carries vertical MILLION lettering beside numbers 1-7 in coloured rows, and a blue score card headed THOUSANDS listing 900/90 down to 100/10 and a blank box above 00. A white paper sticker bottom centre reads THIS MACHINE IS NOT FOR SALE, and D. Gottlieb & Co. is printed bottom right.
