Other Behind and left of the tin man, a scarecrow figure in a floppy brown hat with straw or fibre sticking out around the head and cuffs, painted in dull olive and tan tones.

A red-and-white shield badge at top right reads 'JERSEY JACK PINBALL'. The middle band, inside a thin double gold-and-green rectangular border, holds a large photorealistic painted montage: a dark robed witch with a tall conical hat and long staff at far left; a young girl in a pale blouse holding a small scruffy brown terrier at centre, silhouetted against a huge iridescent soap-bubble; a small girl in a blue pinafore standing on a yellow path below her; a tawny lion with a dark mane, a silver tin-man figure in a top hat holding a pole, a scarecrow in a floppy hat, and a bearded man in a broad brown hat at lower right; and a girl in a white dress with arms flung out running on a hillside at upper right.

Full description

Photograph of a whole backbox, front-on, in dim ambient light. Two black perforated speaker grilles sit in a black metal header above a teal-to-deep-blue translucent backglass panel. The upper third of the glass is a starfield: a teal/turquoise wash on the left fading to dark navy on the right, scattered with small white, red and pale-blue five-pointed stars, each with a soft glow. Lettered across the upper centre is a large stacked title in curling art-deco script, pale blue-white with a thick navy outline and darker drop shadow: 'The WIZARD of OZ', with 'of' in tiny script and a small 'TM' at the right. Tucked into the end of the word 'OZ' is a pair of glittery ruby-red ruby slippers with pale blue interiors. Upper right corner: white stacked sans-serif lettering 'JERSEY JACK PINBALL' beside a pink/magenta silhouette of the Isle of Man, and a pale angular shard shape behind it. The lower two thirds is occupied by a large black-framed dot-matrix display showing 'HIGHEST SCORES' in green outlined capitals over a bright green radial starburst. Eight rows of cream-yellow names and white scores are legible. Along the bottom of the glass, a dark trapezoidal banner with a small star field carries the white quoted slogan 'THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME!'. Glass shows dust, smudges and reflections of the playfield below.

Full description

Two-part piece: an upper printed banner and a lower dot-matrix display, both under glass with heavy reflections. The banner has a purple-to-mauve gradient background densely scattered with five-pointed stars in white, silver, gold and black, plus a soft golden glow behind the centre. Centred is a large stacked logo reading 'The WIZARD of OZ': pale blue block serif capitals with dark navy outline and cream keyline, 'The' small and tilted at top left, 'of' tiny at mid left, and a pair of glittering pink ruby slippers with pale blue interiors forming the 'O' and tucked between the words. At top right, a pink-outlined silhouette of the state of New Jersey contains blue capitals reading JERSEY JACK PINBALL with a small TM. Along the bottom edge runs a band of tiny white legal text. The lower screen shows a full-colour green radial starburst with white serif text: CREDITS: 0, PAID: $0.00, $1.00 / 1 GAME, and INSERT PAYMENT in yellow. A single figure stands at left: a smiling young girl with long red/auburn braided pigtails, a white puff-sleeve blouse under a blue gingham pinafore dress, green socks and dark shoes, holding a wicker basket with a small terrier puppy in it.
