I FINALLY got me one! Yaaay! Jumping up and down

Thanks all.

I shouldn't need to worry about the frame rerusting, the bees paste wax prevents corrosion. Yup, I am going to reapply the number stickers. Additionally, there was a dozen or so coil name stickers originally found laying on the bottom of the machine like fallen snow. I saved all of them and will eventually get reattached too.

I've been busy with this.
Last night I finished the relay board. I also damp-rag cleaned the mounting board... but also the wiring harness. I think it all turned out pretty good. You can see I also finished reassembling the score motor with all its switches.

I just couldn't help determining the electronic condition of this... to know where I stand and how much of it works, and how much of it doesn't. I put the relay board in and wired it up. I knew the Player unit was froze, the function of it controls which of the 4 players are up. After a quick player unit fix I fired it up. (Maybe a bad word)
I found the bonus stepper unit was also mechanically malfunctioning. Another quick fix and I found that none of the reels are resetting... but I found I can unlatch the reset relay and start a game.

But the game basically plays once it's reset and a video of my first game(s) will follow. I can't play it too much because the pinball itself is bad and the playfield is horribly dirty.

So I have a few problems to work through but not too bad considering I haven't went through the lightbox relays or the playfield switches/relays.

More pics- two of the finished score motor, the rebuilt coin unit, cleaned harness and relays, powered up and ready to play (Video still):
