Aaaghh. Gotta keep that sucker bolted down. At least until lots of photos and measurements and all that good stuff is first completed.

Photos of all sides of the table, interior too, interior wiring hookups, monitor itself, since that table is a rareity in this day and age, but you already have a good start with these photos.

I forgot that 'fever' created an entry for Bailey a long time ago so that is a good place as any to document the table although in MAME source code just as well.

Time to expand the Bailey page and get it more filled like Zephyr's Ramtek Clean Sweep page https://discrete.mameworld.info/Zephyr/cleansweep.html

Definitely either a scan of the plate or a high quality photo of it would be useful whenever that can be done later.

Good info there and definitely worth putting in Bailey source code.

It was these that I recall posting here on MW a long time ago. The old posts are long gone. I have the logic schematics for some of the models. With MAME all combined with MESS these days, the URL products could fit in one source file even though one uses coin credits and the other is home model (no coin inputs).

With the info you posted, it looks like src/mame/drivers/bailey.cpp
will be underway along with Discrete Logistics web site.
