I picked this up over a month ago and finally getting around to it. When I posted it in 'what game did you bring home today' thread, I had several people comment that this looked a little different. I have not set it up yet or power it on. Here is what I know-
Individual I got the game from said its been in his parents house since he was a kid- well over 40 years. He remembers going to pick the game up with his dad from the owner of the company which was making Gottlieb cabinets at the time, August Johnson. This game was at the owners house. Seller also told me nothing has been done to the game other then replacing burnt bulbs and rings, and an occasional Millwax cleaning.
The cabinet is not the correct cabinet for this game. It's actully the paint design for Gtb Super Score (Apr. 1967)- which comes out six months after Dancing Lady. And, the paint colors on my game, are the ones pictured on the flyer for Super Score, but not the production colors.

The ballerina in my game is pink plastic with a silver outfit. All of the other ones on ipdb are yellow. Comparing them, it does look factory.

After talking to a couple of pinsiders about serial number locations for this era game, I can tell you there is none stamped into this game. There is only one marking on the cabinet at all (picture below) and it states "Model SL8". Any idea what that means?
The coin door area does not have coin chutes, and looking at the inside, does not appear that there ever was any. Seller indicated that it never had any.
If anyone could offer a bit more insight or discussion, it would be appreciated.
