Sky·Line

Full-length illuminated pinball playfield with a warm cream, orange and pale-blue palette, seen head-on under a bare wooden backbox with an orange plastic arch rail at the top. The upper third is a five-bumper cluster of pleated white starburst caps, four reading 10 WHEN LIT in coloured rings (blue, red, green, purple) plus a plain cream one at centre, each sitting on numbered cream discs (10, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9) that spell out points values. Below runs a big pale-blue ball-return lane printed with a white target medallion reading 20 POINTS AND BONUS WHEN LIT. A group of painted party-goers in 1950s evening dress fills the middle: a blonde woman in a strapless red gown, a smiling dark-haired man in a cream dinner jacket with red trim pointing right, another blonde woman in a low-cut orange-red dress, a man in a dark tuxedo with bow tie, a seated couple at a cafe table at left, and a standing man in a blue suit near the right rail. Two triangular ramps with yellow chevron arrows sit left and right of centre, flanked by cream rollover lanes numbered 3, 7, 9, 10. A curved blue plaque over the flippers reads 10 POINTS WHEN LIT, flanked by LITED ROLLOVER and SPECIAL WHEN LIT either side of a red rubber-ringed centre post. Two chrome-banded flippers with FLIPPER printed on them, angled sloop slingshots, a BALLS PLAYED window, and a grey metal apron card carrying SKY LINE, the rules text, a score-card panel and the D. Gottlieb & Co. Chicago signature fill the bottom.

A wide rounded-corner backglass on a cream panel. Upper left is a night skyline of dark blue skyscrapers with lit yellow windows and neon hotel signs under a star-speckled navy sky, overlaid with 'Gottlieb's' in yellow-orange cursive above 'SKYLINE' in tall orange-red block capitals with a drop shadow. The centre is a crowded rooftop nightclub: a grey-haired man in a yellow jacket and blue bow tie and a blonde woman in a strapless green sequinned dress with long pink gloves sit at a round drinks table, while couples toast at white-clothed tables, a waiter in a red jacket carries a tray, and dancers fill the left mid-ground. Right of centre a woman in a floor-length yellow gown stands with a man in a blue tuxedo beside pale blue doors under a 'Sky Hi TOP ROOM' sign. A cream advance wheel numbered 1-15 with 'ADVANCE' over a dark blue ball marker sits upper right in a harlequin diamond panel. Lower right shows a dancing couple, a feather-trimmed dancer, and a grey-haired woman in a blue dress with a large necklace. A white score window reads 1 8 2 6 over coloured wedges, with green 'GAME OVER' and an orange '3'. Flat, saturated mid-century airbrush style with bold outlines.
