Triple Action / Star Action

A wide, top-shot electro-mechanical pinball playfield seen through a plexiglass with heavy surface reflections and a red laser streak at the right. The lower two-thirds is a fan of blue and pale-teal triangular panels radiating from the lower centre, with a vertical line of cream lamp inserts down the middle flanked by printed score values 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000, 8000, 9000, 10000. Two large yellow circles left and right read MAKING A-B-C-O SCORES around a pink five-pointed star on a white disc, with clusters of small cream balls pictured below. Above them a turquoise oval spinner housing carries two black inserts, SPINNER SCORES 10X WHEN LIT and SPINNER SCORES 100X WHEN LIT, flanking a clear round plastic dome over a dark red spinner blade. Below the spinner sit three cream-rimmed ovals labelled SINGLE, DOUBLE, TRIPLE. Four pale sea-green mushroom pop bumpers with blue 100 shields sit in a cluster in the upper third, under a curved ADVANCE BONUS arrow. Two pink kidney-shaped lane areas carry big cream letters A, B, C, D with ADVANCE BONUS beneath, and there are four small target spinners. Cartoon vignettes in orange, teal and brown decorate the upper left and upper right, plus side-lane art of small cartoon men. The apron below carries two cream INSTRUCTIONS cards and a blue-and-white striped logo panel reading Williams, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS 60618, ELECTRONICS.

A bright comic-style backglass built around a huge central title reading STAR ACTION, with STAR in pale blue-and-white block letters on a yellow arched sunburst and ACTION in fat magenta/pink capitals with purple shading and white highlights, stacked on a slanted light-blue plaque edged in white and dark blue. The background is a flat mid-blue sky with string of triangular bunting across the top edge and a huge pale-blue pinwheel/windmill blade shape behind the title, plus a solid pink balloon-like circle. At upper left a grey-blue haired cartoon man in a tan coat peeks over a purple ledge, hands gripping it, beside a pink cursive printed word and a pink circular 'W' logo. A white window with six mechanical score reels showing numerals sits left of centre. Below, a chaotic chase scene: a boy in a yellow-striped shirt and yellow shorts runs rightward hand-in-hand with a girl in a pink top, blue jeans and a pink helmet/headscarf; a barefoot dark-skinned man in a light-blue shirt and brown trousers lunges after them with arms outstretched and mouth open; a purple-suited figure with a pink head wrap fires a ray-gun at left; a brown rocking horse, coiled cable, pink folding chair and blue bucket sit in the foreground. A robot with a square metal head and a dark-haired man in a striped top holding a device occupy the right edge. Yellow oval ground patch carries BALLS TO PLAY in black capitals.

A painted backglass in a bold comic-book style, dominated by a deep royal blue and cyan sky with a large yellow sun disc at lower centre and a hot pink moon or sun at upper right. Across the upper right sits a light blue arched banner carrying the main title: the word 'TRIPLE' in tall pale blue slab capitals with white highlight, and beneath it 'ACTION' in huge hot-pink block letters outlined in dark blue with a white keyline. At top left a bank of five rectangular score windows sits in a white-framed strip, each window showing a single digit. An old man's head with white hair and a bald crown peeks over the top edge of a purple-railed balcony, hands gripping the rail. Below him on the left a woman in a blue headscarf recoils with one hand raised. The centre shows a chaotic brawl: a turbaned man in pink and teal with a raised brown object, a man in a yellow patterned kaftan tumbling, a bare-chested man in light blue grappling him, a dark-skinned wrestler, a cobra-headed serpent creature with a cobra hood on the left, and on the right a man in a black turban operating a grey box-like camera apparatus with a crank handle, while below him a checkered-shirt man with glasses looks through a long grey cone horn. A blue violin with a bow, a brass horn, a spool of thread and two spools of pink and blue ribbon sit along the bottom. 'BALLS TO PLAY' is printed in bold black capitals on the yellow disc.

A painted, airbrushed-style backglass in a surfing/skate motif, framed by a yellow-gold border. The upper half is a flat purple-violet sky with pale blue palm-tree silhouettes fanning left and right, a solid magenta ball disc at top centre, and a long angled magenta-and-black banner down the left edge carrying white score reels reading 8 9 5 2 0. To the right the title sits on a yellow swoosh: TRIPLE in arched white capitals above ACTION in huge red block capitals with pink-magenta fill. The lower half is a crowded action scene on a yellow ground shape. A dark-haired figure in magenta trunks crouches low on a skateboard at centre, one leg extended. Just left, a woman with dark hair, a magenta bikini top and shorts, arms raised. A brown dog bounds in at the left edge. Right of centre, a burnt-orange figure leans into a large boxy video camera with visible reels. At the right stands a person with a white mechanical television-style head bearing a round lens eye, wearing a pink top. Skateboard wheels and a purple wheel frame the bottom corners, and small red text on the yellow ground reads 3 BALLS TO PLAY.
