Got the game together tonight and did some more cleaning. I think she's going to clean up pretty well.

Inside the cabinet is simple and in really clean condition, as is the underside of the playfield.

I've no idea what the black paint on the playfield is about. Maybe it got refinished at some point and that was someone's assembly guide? A quick glance at things on the playfield revealed no glaring issues. The power cord is a death trap and will have to go before anything else gets done. At first glance, I am also not noticing any fuses but the schematic says there should be a couple.
This thing is apparently some sort of clockwork timer. From the looks of it, the coin slide pushes that bar up when you deposit a coin. The clockwork part works fine and it runs down after about 3-4 minutes. I think it's supposed to ring that bell when it finishes but that doesn't happen.

I cannot get the small coin box door open. I can raise the latch but it hits the bottom of the free ball return trough and I don't think it releases enough. I probably won't care but I'd like to get it off to repair its delamination and rough edges.
I'm already learning a lot, which I love, and it's still early. I've got to buy some screw-base bulbs, which I've never used before. The backbox Jones plug has a number of broken wires which will need repair and the wood rails will need refinishing. They don't look terrible but have some mold spot damage. Who knew there's supposed to be a bulb under the red ball delivery cover!
Here she is in all her glory:
