The single most memorable feature is a comic-book woman diving head-first diagonally across the whole backglass in a red top and blue shorts, her brown hair fanned out behind her and her face wide-eyed and open-mouthed in alarm. Behind her sits an enormous flat yellow disc that reads as a giant ball. A run of huge pink bubble letters with black outlines spans the top on a yellow field, with the leading letter hidden under a taped white paper notice. On the left, two round reels showing 1 and 2 sit above black rectangular score windows and red CREDIT / BALL IN PLAY / MATCH labels.

| Kind | Description |
|---|---|
| Woman | One young woman, comic-airbrushed illustration, diving head-first on a steep diagonal from upper right to lower left; long auburn-brown hair fanned out behind her, small red cap, pale skin, wide round eyes and open mouth in a startled expression; red long-sleeved top, blue shorts with red and white trim, red-white-green striped knee socks, red/white/green sneakers; right fist clenched, left arm reaching down to the bottom edge; one bare thigh visible |
| Other | A small white oval egg- or ball-shaped object with dark markings near the lower centre, and a blue-and-red ball just below it |
A tall portrait-format illustrated backglass on a bright saturated yellow ground. Across the top, partly hidden behind a taped white paper notice, is a large horizontal title in chunky pink/magenta bubble letters with heavy black outlines; the legible letters read O-A-tilde-O, the first letter obscured. The centre-right is dominated by one young woman drawn in bold comic airbrush style, diving head-first at a steep diagonal from upper right to lower left: auburn-brown hair streaming back in a wide fan, a small red cap, wide-eyed open-mouthed startled expression, a red long-sleeved top, blue shorts with red and white trim, red-white-green striped knee socks and red, white and green sneakers, one fist clenched and one arm reaching down towards the bottom edge. Behind her is a huge flat yellow circle like a ball or sun. The left third carries the mechanical scoring furniture: two round windows showing the numerals 1 and 2, two long black rectangular score windows with white frames, and small red-on-white labels reading CREDIT, BALL IN PLAY and MATCH. At lower right a black panel reads 1-4 CAN PLAY with a TILT notice below, and a green strip at the right edge shows 3B and a large 3. A blue-and-white striped cushion intrudes across the bottom foreground.
