Image # 64297: Cover Girl Inside Cabinet 
(The relay mounted to the cabinet wall is not original to this game. It replaced the original relay and is mounted on the wall because it does not fit in its original place on the motor board where a bare stretch of metal bar is now seen. The square piece of sheet metal stapled to the left wall is not original and was placed temporarily during cabinet repair.)
