Spectrum

Full-length electro-mechanical pinball playfield photographed under glass, framed by chrome side rails and the black front of the cabinet. The colour scheme is black, gold, orange-red and white, over a sci-fi grid of fine gold and white circuit-like lines. At the centre lower-middle stands one large stylised woman's head: orange-red hair fanning out in triangular rays, green face and neck, large almond eyes, small dark lips. Above her head a small red printed word, and below her a wide gold-and-orange band of lettering reading TO PLAY, with a second smaller line above it. The mid-playfield is packed with roughly twenty round drop targets with orange and green faces arranged in two long vertical columns, flanked by two sloped habitrail ramps carrying white balls to the upper arch. On both left and right lower quadrants sit mirrored mechanical assemblies: angled rails, a red-and-white striped round bumper-like unit and a chrome post with a white ball. The left quadrant carries a gold script logo reading Bally, with MANUFACTURE above it and three lines of small print below, plus For Amusement Only in an outlined bar along the lower edge. The right quadrant carries RIGHT FLIPPER / WEAK FLIPPER / BALL IN PLAY / WHEN FLASHING in four stacked yellow capitals. Two white instruction cards fill the bottom third: INSTRUCTIONS on the left, SPECTRUM on the right with 1 PLAY FOR EACH SCORE OF 100,000 POINTS and 1 PLAY FOR EACH SCORE OF 1,000,000 POINTS and 3 BALLS PER GAME.

A dark, near-black backglass dominated by a huge three-dimensional rainbow-gradient title in block capitals, shading from blue at the left through green and yellow to orange-red at the right, across the top. Immediately below its centre is one enormous disembodied female face painted front-on: yellow-green skin, blue hair swept back, dark arched brows, wide staring eyes, small pursed lips. Beneath it sit two more female heads in left and right profile, facing outwards, with feathered swept-back hair and orange-tinted skin, flanking a glowing orange-yellow orb containing a symmetrical cluster of white microchip symbols on stalks. The lower two-thirds is a pale cream printed circuit board on black: right-angled traces with round solder pads, star-shaped junction bursts and radiating sparkles, fanning up from a bundle of traces at the bottom centre. Two dark rectangular windows with orange seven-segment readouts sit either side of the title. A stepped pyramid of chunky blue, yellow, green, red and white bars runs along the bottom edge. Glass reflections overlay the art.
