Notes:

The backbox on this game is sufficiently crowded with mechanisms such that there was no room on the back of the insert for the connector jacks to be installed to allow the playfield plugs to connect to them there. Instead, the connectors were placed onto a separate board that just hangs down into the cabinet through the access hole between the backbox and the cabinet. Because of this, Gottlieb would staple to the inside bottom of the backbox an Assembly Instructions card to assist the operator with proper placement of this separate board to allow the insert to be lowered to its service position without obstruction. The example card pictured here is A-9487-1 and was found stapled inside a Bank-A-Ball backbox even though the card carries the Model Number 222 for 'Dodge City'.

We seek a picture of the inside of the backbox to show the separate board and its connections.
