The front of the cabinet. Similar paint flaking as the backbox. I suspect that sun exposure was a contributor to the condition. The coin door and shooter are in good shape, much better than my Wizard. The rim of the coin door is missing, but that's easily replaced.
Note the really old school coin slots, this guy took nickel, dimes and quarters.

The underside off the cabinet. Looks worse than it really is. The previous owner had the power cord coming through here. The mechanical guts of the machine don't actually rest on the bottom so I should be able to remove the broken piece and replace it with a new piece of plywood. I am not sure how that's done yet, but I'll figure it out. The snaky looking thing inside is one of the 5 wire bundles that connect the works in the cabinet works to the scoring pieces in the backbox.

The classic Gotlieb wedgehead backbox. Note the single player scoring reels and the very limited scoring range. Score goes up to 1,999 and then rolls over. The wood facade is pretty bad, but the rest of the box is in great shape. The glass has a few minor flaws that will be easily remedied.
