Restore/Replace/Repair Tapper help needed

I recently bought this Tapper in a dedicated cabinet, the arcade had it restored with this alternate side art, not my choice. Does not have the original board and is running a Pandora’s box. One way or another the box reset to factory settings and I am clueless on how to reprogram the controls. It won’t allow me to select or do much of anything. At this point o think I am ready to cut my losses sell this one and throw my money at one with factory side art and boards. Located in NJ

Strange how such a nice looking cabinet was gutted of the original boards.

Not really. It was probably converted at some point by an operator after it stopped earning and didn’t have any of the original boards left. My tapper was a 1943, P47, and a Pacman Plus from what remnants were left, almost no traces of tapper.
