If you can get off the back, that may help.  If you can get the coin door open, you may be able to see some latches or something under the panel, near the edges.

There were many ways to hold these down - could be anything holding it from the inside, including screws if they were sloppy or weren't thinking about long term use.

on my midway cab I hafta go through the back to get to the latches under the CP, on the one that used to be at the local pool hall you could get to the latches by reaching up through the coin door.......  how did you get to yours?
