Take Five / Circa 1933 / The Entertainer

A heavily worn, photographed pinball playfield seen from directly above, with a dark charcoal-grey and black base, bright orange-red painted lane outlines and cream/ivory plastic inserts. A large cream-coloured fan- or wedge-shaped ramp area dominates the centre-left, crossed by a tall pale picket-fence style wall graphic, with a single small printed figure standing inside it holding something. Two rows of small oval cream windows near the top-centre hold printed numerals, and at the top edge sit three white plastic pop-bumper caps and a row of five cream drop-target posts. Along the right side, a silver metal ball-chute runs diagonally, lettered USE FLIPPER SKILL, beside red-ringed circular inserts and orange-bordered triangular cut-outs showing printed cars. Across the lower middle is a band of nine dark ovals carrying cream letters and digits, above the printed instruction card. The lower third is worn to brown and grey with faded lettering: PLAYER 1 and PLAYER 2 score panels, CREDIT, TILT and GAME OVER in white block capitals, 1 or 2 PLAYERS and 1 2 3 4 5 BALL IN PLAY. Playfield edges and the surrounding cabinet are dark and scuffed.

A tightly cropped colour photograph of the upper-centre of a backglass, shot straight on, filling the frame with a grinning cartoon man in a white peaked cap with a bright blue brim and band. He has a tanned orange face, heavy dark brows, blue eyes, a broad toothy smile, and wears a light blue collared shirt; a black-and-white patterned guitar neck runs diagonally across his chest. Behind him is a deep blue-violet field crossed by radiating yellow sunburst wedges and red triangular rays. The main title, THE ENTERTAINER, runs diagonally across the upper left in large yellow block capitals with a black outline, with the white stacked credit BY FASCINATION LTD. beneath it. A red cursive signature reading Roy Ca... (remainder not resolvable) arcs above the title. At top left a yellow playing card with a teal-and-blue costumed figure sits behind a clear plastic rail with a chrome post. At top right a red wedge carries a column of white numerals 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 beside a white triangle reading SCORE BY 1000, with SPECIAL on a yellow arrow and TRIPLE BONUS on a small blue triangle. A magenta-and-yellow illustration of a leaning man appears mid-right. At bottom centre a yellow disc reads SAME PLAYER ENCORES above a red lamp circle. Chrome rails and clear plastics with red and white spots cross the lower corners.

Close, slightly angled photograph of a pinball machine's upper playfield and backbox area, filling the whole frame. The top two thirds show the sloped playfield under glass: a dense scatter of chrome posts, round white plastic bumpers and buttons, printed lane arrows and red-and-yellow target inserts, and brightly coloured plastics in yellow, orange, red and green, with a white wireform ramp or ball guide arcing across the middle. The lower third is a plain black panel carrying scattered white painted lettering in separate small blocks rather than a single banner title. A creased, yellowed white paper card, printed with several rows of fine black type, is taped over the centre of that black panel and obscures part of the lettering. Dark brown wooden cabinet sides frame the left and right edges, and a wood cabinet rail runs across the very bottom. The glass throws pale reflections across the playfield. No character or narrative artwork is visible; the machine's identity rests on the arrangement of plastics, posts and lettering, much of which is too small or too oblique in this shot to read.
