- Snap traps (10). This game has a shooter lane to allow the ball to loop 360 degrees around the playfield before entering into play. Near playfield center is a large aluminum six-sided polygon acting as a ball guide and a sailing ship is depicted on its top. An aluminum totalizer is in the lower playfield and below it is a metal plaque with the name VEDETTE in large letters. Below this name are the words Modele brevete a depose and Patents applied for in all countries. Riveted onto the lower right apron area is a small plate stamped with BREVET P.J. THANS and a License number. A large playfield reset knob is on the left cabinet front below the coin slot. The cabinet measured 92 cm long, 42 cm wide, and 25 cm high (without legs).

The example we saw of this game had an unpainted wood playfield while the upper and lower aprons and the cabinet were painted red, likely a repaint.
The term vedette designates a class of ships, usually light and fast.
