I wouldn't be surprised if he showed up to watch as the Mouse collected heheh.But more seriously - You could probably do some of your own touch-ups on the paint too.  If you carefully remove that black paint you could properly fill in the  worn sections from a photo to make it tough to notice that it wasn't original.  That would work especially well if you got the playfield coated in mylar as some have suggested.  I just wouldn't let go of that machine if I were you.  Like people have said it will be good practice if nothing else and $500 isn't a lot to spend, even if the machine never ends up being just the way you wanted it.  Since its an older machine you might even find someone parting one out someday, and have a chance to replace that sound board for a reasonable cost.  I used to work at an arcade for a couple years in the mid-90s, so I know how much work it is to maintain a pinball machine, but I also know how satisfying it is to play one after you have just made it playable again.  Don't rob yourself of that feeling, I know I look forward to doing it again one day when I have the space.</blockquote>
