Playfield looks to have contact or mylar on it. This is a good start. The playfield therefore looks to be in excellent condition.

The backglass has some fade, but it still looks good.

Cabinet is where the challenge will be. From the looks of it, the paint will blow off if you used an air gun near it. The wood separation needs to be addressed. It is possible to sand the cabinet back and then bog and sand until it looks better, and at the same time check the stability of the cabinet and repair it as you progress.

The raised inserts need to be removed with a hair drier and pushed out, then the edges of the insert and the hole need to be sanded and then you can use Super Glue GEL.

The tilt issue will be one of the tilt switches or the plumb bob is not adjusted properly.
