I picked this up yesterday. It wasn't an outright steal, but it wasn't a terrible price either. Many thanks are owed to splattergatz and his help in me acquiring this. Overall it is in very good shape and will clean up nicely and be a great game.

Some comments about the slideshow above:
-The cabinet art is in very good shape and doesn't have much fade at all.
-No problems with the backglass
-The first playfield shots show how filthy it was
-The next few playfield shots show how it looked after a little clean up with Simple Green
-The only playfiled damage is to the "Martian Attack" insert. I think I've found all the information I need to make a waterslide decal and fix it. And I'll need to do a little touch up on the orange next to the insert.
-In the last photo, some of the goodies inside.
The good/bad:
-Everything mechanical works
-One standup target has been replaced with a non-matching target
-One LED is burned out on the main saucer
-I don't see any damage to the ramps at this point.
-Flippers and VUKs are strong and work fine
-The GI is out due to burned connectors at J105 and J106. Should be an easy fix.
-The coin door is in nice shape with only some paint gone near the coin slots
-It has been in arcades throughout its life so no smoky smell and nicotine
-It has the coin mechanisms (tokens), a coin box with lid, and the factory coin door lockbar (uninstalled, not that I need it).
Unfortunately, I have three other machines I need to get fixed and sold before I spend a lot of time on this one. It will be sitting there tempting me. Motivation, I guess.
Edit: The left outlane switch I earlier said was missing was in fact present. The metal rollover wire had come off the switch and had fallen into the cabinet. Replaced and now fixed.
Edit 2: Found a set of NOS slingshot plastics inside the cabinet. Bonus!
