That backbox still has some pretty decent original color on it. Most of these cabinets are faded to a loathesome pinkish-gray by now but were originally almost a magenta-maroon.

Quoted from jsa:It seems the neck comes off as a single piece. I’m not removing it entirely but I started to see separation when sanding:
It appears to be nailed on straight through:
I had the same problem with my Space Invaders, exacerbated by the swing-open frame with two glasses in it. Four L-brackets screwed to the neck and the back panel, inside the cabinet so the repair is invisible, made it rock-solid.

Could you tell us where that totally and completely wrong flipper coil stop came from, so we future Bally restorers can avoid buying it from there?

Quoted from jsa:Thank you! In all seriousness, this game is really fun and a fantastic commentary on the state of things in 1979. One of the weirdest years in America to revisit, culturally. In all its glory, this game really is amazing to look at.
That's what makes this game so great! A perfect representative from the era of disco and new wave, Charlie's Angels and Fantasy Island, the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, feathered hair, airbrushed vans, Logan's Run, and all other things late 70's.
