Fingerprint: Pair of enormous stylized women's faces with dark hair and arched brows staring inward from left and right edges, white starburst target reading 100 SCORE, row of nine white pop-bumper caps across top, central red panel holding six numbered cream discs

Distinctive

The single most memorable element is the pair of enormous stylised woman's faces with dark hair, arched brows, headbands and bright red lips, staring inwards from the left and right edges at the green-and-yellow arched recess in the centre. Close behind that, a white starburst target reading 100 SCORE sits under a curved yellow ON ... BUMPER banner above a row of nine white pop-bumper caps. A red-bordered central panel holding six numbered cream discs 1 through 6 under HOLE SCORES 500 POINTS OR 1,000 FOR EACH LIT STAR is unusual for a golf-themed layout. The whole lower half is a pale powder-blue with pink-and-cream disc rosettes, sharply contrasting the magenta upper field.

Full-length electro-mechanical playfield behind glass, shot from above with cabinet front and coin door below.

Full description

A laminated, wood-framed backglass in flat 1970s cartoon airbrush style, built around a huge diagonal word SINGLES spelled out in chunky block capitals that cascade from the upper left to the lower right in alternating colours: a fat yellow S with a black drop shadow, an orange-and-yellow striped A, a magenta N, a yellow L, a green-and-orange G, an orange L, a yellow S. The letters sit on a broad diagonal band of olive green and maroon blocks running across a background of tightly packed light-blue and white square tiles, each studded with small coloured diamonds. A jagged sawtooth yellow starburst border, edged orange, frames all four sides with a plain orange outer margin. Upper left holds a five-window mechanical score reel showing 1 8 7 3 0 in black digits on cream cards behind a chrome-silver rail. Lower left is a large head-and-shoulders portrait of a woman in profile facing right: pale skin, heavy black winged eyeliner, bright pink lipstick, a round orange cheek circle, tall magenta beehive hair piled high, a yellow ribbon at the temple, and a cigarette with a curling ribbon of smoke. Upper right shows three women on a big yellow sunburst: a brunette in a yellow top holding a racket, a blonde in an orange halter top and pink bikini bottom with arms flung wide, and a third woman in purple playing a yellow guitar. A pink-and-white ball rattles near her lips. Along the bottom, cream block capitals read BALLS · TO · PLAY on a yellow panel, and GAME OVER appears in orange on a yellow lozenge at lower right.
