Full description

A full-view photograph of an electro-mechanical-style pinball playfield behind a slightly reflective glass, with the yellow wooden cabinet front and coin door visible below. The field is dominated by a psychedelic, airbrushed space-and-rock theme: a deep blue starfield scattered with white, orange and yellow starbursts fills the centre, bordered at the top by a broad orange-yellow arc and a large multi-coloured spiral rainbow. Two large chrome/white pop bumper caps with gold sunburst emblems sit in the upper playfield, flanked by a card in the top-left. Two identical cartoon women with long flowing golden-blonde hair, blue eyes and pale skin flank the top of the field, one at each top corner, both in a drawn 1970s airbrush style. The middle of the field carries two large circular target zones: a yellow-rimmed wheel of black numerals 1-13 around a red centre reading ADVANCING CLOCK LITES SPECIAL, and a blue-rimmed wheel of green segments around a blue centre. Flippers, four white guide rails, a red three-digit score window reading 88 88, and a purple apron with a rules card complete the lower deck.

Full description

A painted backglass dominated by a single nude winged woman, seen from the front, hovering with one leg stretched down and her right arm flung upward with fingers splayed. She has very long flowing golden-yellow hair that curls in thick Art Deco waves, pale peach skin, and small red lips; she is topless, with long black-outlined feathered wings spreading symmetrically left and right in black, pink, salmon and cream scalloped tiers. Behind her head is a cream-and-red arched banner carrying the word 'TIME 2000' in thin white Art Deco outlined capitals. Two huge red-rimmed circles sit side by side at mid-height: the left one is black with a string of overlapping pale blue and white discs like moon phases, the right one is orange-yellow with a plain pale pink sphere. Below, a large tilted roulette wheel in red, orange, yellow and black fills the floor, ringed with Roman numerals (X, XI, XII, VII, VI, V, IV, III, II, I) and a black centre hole, with the woman's foot touching its top. The background is a black starfield of white dots and orange flecks over red-and-black horizontal stripes, with a red, orange, yellow and mauve chequerboard floor. A wooden cabinet frame surrounds the glass.

Kind Description
Woman Nude young woman, long golden-blonde hair, pale skin, right arm curved over her head, left arm raised with fingers spread, one leg extended, standing on the centre of a clock dial, framed by four moth wings
Full description

A square, highly saturated airbrushed/illustrated backglass. Centre: a single nude female figure with long flowing golden-blonde hair, pale skin, small breasts, standing front-on in a ballet-like pose with her right arm arched over her head and her left arm raised straight up, fingers splayed. She is backed by four huge moth-like wings: inner pair black with white oval spots and pale lavender edging, outer pair banded in orange, pink, black and lavender teardrop scales. Her foot rests on a large tilted clock/compass dial in the foreground, ringed with white Roman numerals on red segments, its face a yellow-to-orange concentric sunburst. Behind her is a black disc containing two round porthole-like windows: the left one has overlapping blue and white spheres, the right one a mottled orange-and-yellow sun-like sphere. Horizontal stripes in red, orange and pink run across the upper background, fading to black with scattered white star dots at the edges. A checkered red-and-pink floor recedes in perspective at the bottom. Large pale blue-and-white bubble lettering arcs across the top behind the figure but is almost entirely hidden by her arms and wings. A black horizontal strip near the dial carries small white lettering, mostly obscured. The whole piece is framed by a yellow wooden rail at top and bottom.
