Sorry if this is dumb. I’m used to working on newer games with obvious screws locking down side rails.

What’s the trick to removing these side rails without causing too much damage? Just seeing some small little holes underneath.

Game in question is 1983 Bally Grand Slam. Thanks!

The are held on with staples, you can get a small flathead screwdriver and pry them out gently. Once you get a small gap you cam either pull the rail off from the top or continue pulling the staples.

I would pre-drill some new screw holes before you remove it so it will fit back into place when your done.

I use plastic pry tools to remove the wood rails that are stapled in.
