Thanks in advance for any advice.

Need to remove the backglass from my Gottlieb Score-Board from 1955.

Before I start it looks like one of the side parts to the frame around the head comes off and then the backglass slides out?

Rather than the usual pain of the single player woodies where you need to take the entire mechanics of the head assembly out first, then remove from the back.

It's not the usual somewhat deranged set up where the backbox board folds back and the bg is kind of worked on out?

Quoted from currieddog:

Not really. Have a look inside.
My admittedly vague recollection is that you have to remove the screws along the top and bottom edge of the backbox insert.
But what happens if you pull the metal slides on the left and right side?

Hmmmm, that's kind of puzzling.
