Boards are ruined or at very least beyond my repair abilities. Batteries were left in so lots of alkaline damage. No dates were on the batteries but based on the label it appears they were in there since 1990.
The good is that the playfield has very little wear. I think the machine had an early death and sat someone wet. There is a definite smell.

Fairly big chip in the head and one side is pulling away. I could fix the head but I rather rebuild it. Body is mostly okay. Could use a paint job. Backglass is more clear than paint, I will order a new one.
New backglass came in today. Looks great, thanks cpr.
Still waiting on a new soundboard from kohout.
The more I look at the head, the more likely I am to just rebuild the whole thing. All the light sockets are corroded, lots of moisture damage. Should just start fresh.

The insert needed to be rebuilt. Most of the sockets were corroded and when I pulled the wires off the back, most of the staples just disintegrated. Pulled it all apart and screwed it down to a new sheet of mdf. Used the old one as a pattern.
