The Raid

Long portrait-orientation playfield on a navy-blue ground, dominated by a large painted portrait of a dark-haired man with a thick moustache and open shouting mouth, three-quarter facing, in cream and yellow clothing, gripping a long chrome-and-yellow science-fiction ray pistol held diagonally across his chest. The art is 1960s psychedelic: concentric rainbow arcs, starbursts, and scalloped clouds behind him. A red-haired woman's face peers from the upper left, and a red-outlined winged skeletal angel figure stands at upper right beside a chrome sphere. Two large polished chrome ball-guide arcs sweep across the top corners. Centre-left hold three square translucent plastic inserts, green, red and yellow, one lettered 4,000. A white oblong target on the upper left flank carries small black lettering, and a fan of green laurel leaves sweeps in a wide V across the lower third, framing a central blue-and-gold oval maker's emblem. Two pale yellow flippers with rubber rings sit at the bottom, and white instruction and replay cards are printed in the lower corners.

A square backglass dominated by a huge red block-letter logo across the top left, the letters jumbled rather than in order, painted in thick crimson with black outlines and yellow highlights. Beneath and right of it a grinning male aviator in a leather flying helmet and goggles, chest strapped into the nose of a red rocket plane with a pointed spinner, wings spread to both sides and small round red pods at the wingtips. A second, larger version of the same pilot's head fills the bottom-left corner, helmet in tan and white with a dark ear cup, face turned three-quarters to the right. Two fiery orange-yellow starburst explosions flare at upper right and mid right. The background is a mottled, camouflage-like blue, grey and black sky suggesting cloud or smoke, crossed by thin red tracer streaks. At left, a diagonal grid of dark and yellow dotted circles, like a chart of lights or punched holes. Along the bottom edge four red seven-segment score windows read 240 00, with two small central windows between them and a yellow sticker reading ball in play.

Square edge-to-edge painted backglass with a deep blue sky background streaked with white and pale-blue clouds. Across the top, tilted and angled upward to the right, the word THUNDER appears in enormous overlapping slanted block capitals: bright red letter faces with a darker red outline and a yellow-orange inner glow. Beneath the title at upper left is a cluster of about eight small round planet- or ball-like discs arranged in rows, ringed in orange, yellow, red and olive green, each sitting on a small red rectangular plinth. At the centre is a large pale white and cream figure - apparently a helmeted pilot or robot - with a rounded helmet and outstretched arms, the right arm ending in a yellow glove; a brilliant white starburst of light radiates from its chest area, obscuring the detail. Maroon and yellow aircraft wings and a red horizontal bar cross behind it. Two orange-and-white fireball explosions, one upper right and one mid right, throw off long white radial streaks. Lower left is a large painted head-and-shoulders portrait of a young man in a leather flying helmet with riveted goggles pushed up on his brow, dark heavy eyebrows, strong square jaw, mouth slightly open, looking up to the right with a tense expression, in comic-book ink outlines with orange and tan shading. A red single-propeller aircraft with a blurred spinning propeller sits centre-low, and a small yellow twin-wing aircraft with red trim and a red tail flies level at lower right. A row of dark red rectangular panels runs along the bottom edge.
