Full description

A full-length electro-mechanical horse-racing game playfield photographed from above, with the cabinet's metal lockdown bar, apron cards and coin door visible below. The playfield is dominated by a large pink-and-blue roulette-wheel motif in the middle: a magenta oval ringed with white oval 'light' pockets, enclosing a blue panel numbered 1 to 10 in white ovals with the word 'RACES' in large gold block letters with black outline across the centre, and 'FINISH START' printed in small black capitals beneath. Above it sits a wedge reading 'LITES ON ABCD' in red and black, flanked by four white circular targets lettered A, B, C and D with rainbow-scaled rings, and a pop-bumper-style target marked 50. The art shows a bay horse's head in profile at centre-left below the wheel, and painted jockey figures in blue silks. Colourful fan-shaped ramps and lanes in green, red, yellow and blue radiate down both sides. Two red flippers, two red-tipped slingshots, and '100' and 'A' scoring markings complete the lower playfield. A white instruction card and a 'PADDOCK' scoring card sit on the apron beside a company wordmark.

Third, a blonde woman in a small red pillbox hat and tight blue dress with white gloves hauling in long blue reins, while a blue-haired woman in a red coat lies sprawled below her.

Full description

A square backglass in a cartoon style, bordered by a black wooden frame with worn white paint chips at the corners. The upper third is a flat cream/tan background carrying the game's title: a red script company mark reading 'Williams' with a circled W, and beneath it the main word 'PADDOCK' in enormous chunky crimson block capitals with a darker red inline shadow, orange-red fill highlights and heavy black outline, tilted slightly upward to the right. Along the top left, small black sans-serif print reads '.Play flipper skill games for fun and recreation', with a lit orange '2' below it, and an orange 'GAME OVER' window at the top right. The lower two thirds are a flat sky-blue/turquoise field showing a horse-racing scene: a red-and-white harlequin-diamond patterned racing jockey in a red cap, blue jodhpurs and cream boots leaning forward on a dark bay horse at the left; in the centre-right a blonde woman with curled hair, a pearl necklace, a small red pillbox hat and a tight blue dress stretches out a long white-gloved hand holding blue reins; below her a second woman with blue-grey hair in a red coat lies or crouches looking up. A white-and-tan race fence runs along the bottom edge. Small background figures include a groom in a tan suit holding a chestnut horse at the top left of the blue field, and a tiny mounted rider at the upper right. Reflections and light glare streak across the glass.

Full description

A backglass for a racehorse-themed electro-mechanical game, painted in flat 1970s comic style with heavy black outlines. Upper third is a pale pink and lilac sky. At upper left sits a stylised blue-and-white modernist racecourse grandstand with horizontal window bands and a row of five white score windows reading 0 3 9 2 0. To the right, a huge logo reads FAST TIME in stacked, forward-leaning slab block capitals, red face with orange-to-yellow flame gradient and a dark blue drop shadow. A small red script company logo sits just above the FAST. Below, on a flat cyan-blue ground plane, a white and grey horse head in profile with a dark striped mane and a blue-and-yellow bridle dominates the centre, mouth open, being fed a red-and-yellow striped object. At right a woman in a wide red riding hat, platinum curled hair, blue eyeshadow and a bright blue tailored jacket extends a white-gloved arm holding a thin riding crop. At lower centre a blue-haired woman reclines against a red starburst, fanning red-and-gold playing cards. At far left a crouching man in a red-and-white harlequin diamond shirt, orange cap and white goggles leans over a dark horse. Three tiny jockeys on horseback are scattered in the mid-distance. Along the bottom edge runs a black banner with red lettering reading BALLS TO PLAY, followed by a blue ladder of boxes numbered 1 2 3 4 5.
