Bank-A-Ball
Gottlieb, 1965Hello: Just acquired my 2nd EM yesterday, a nice example of Bank-A-Ball Gottlieb 1965 wedgehead. Mostly complete and playable and when I got it home, the female jones plugs were mounted to this bakelite board which was just dangling around the back of the backbox. Just wondering where this board should be mounted? I don't see any place in the backbox where this fits. Any advice/info is appreciated.

Yeah, I was thinking that but it seems so wrong!!

I'd say it's a dangling participle, according to my old English teacher, youngsters won't associate.
The games with the drop-down animation unit such as the two already mentioned, along with "King of Diamonds"/"Diamond Jack" and some others (I believe "Happy Clown" and other four players) have this outboard plate for the Jones connectors.
The reason for this is that there's simply not enough space on the lightbox insert for mounting the female connectors, due to all the required components.

This. Both my Super Soccer and 300 are danglers.
