Red & Ted's Road Show

A 1990s-era solid-state playfield packed with cartoon construction-site art, photographed under glass in its cabinet with chrome wireform ramps and ball guides crossing the whole surface. Two enormous disembodied heads in yellow hard hats dominate the top third, eyes closed, one bearded with a white sticker reading 'TED', the other with a 'Best Bud' sticker and curly hair spilling out. Below them a wooden barrel and a huge drawn script logo in white and grey block letters stretches across the middle, with a red dotted warning arrow pointing down at it. The lower half is a green grassy bowl ringed with black-and-yellow hazard chevrons, containing small comic construction vehicles, workers and clumps of rock, and a white textured mound labelled with a row of four brown diamond targets. A red octagonal STOP sign and two painted cartoon workers in yellow hard hats stand just above the flippers. Blue side art carries additional green road signs, a white clouds-and-signpost motif and an orange sign reading DETOUR on the cabinet front. Dominant colours are yellow, blue, green, white and black, in flat comic-cartoon airbrush style.

Airbrushed cartoon backglass. A huge yellow road grader/motor grader machine occupies the lower centre, angled to the right, with a tall ribbed grey exhaust stack rising into the sky and a blue rotating beacon on its cab roof; its side panel carries a red bulldozer emblem, and yellow-and-white POLICE LINE tape is strung across its nose beside a black-and-white arrow chevron sign and a small multi-pennant flag. Two cartoon teenagers dominate the right half. A grinning tanned young man in a white T-shirt, blue jeans, a rust-orange cap and blue aviator goggles on the brim leans out from behind the machine, pointing left with one arm and clutching a pink flower. Beside him a red-haired young woman with long pigtails wears a yellow hard hat, a white tank top printed with the red bulldozer logo, denim shorts and a studded belt, gripping the wooden pole of a red octagonal stop sign that is cropped at the right edge; she smiles open-mouthed and looks left. Left of them a red sports car speeds along a grey highway, with a yellow motorbike and other traffic further back. Behind, rolling green hills under a deep blue sky with a white sunburst, a floating road-map panel showing a cowboy and a bucking horse on the far left, a bus and a stone castle with tall spires on the right, and a distant timber cabin. Bottom left shows a white road-shoulder banner reading ILLINOIS STATE LINE beside an American flag. Dominant colours are yellow, blue, red and green.
