How do you guys think I did for a first choice? I love it so far. Already ordered a new pop cap,bulbs,coin labels,and coin label inserts so the addiction has possibly began. My problem now is deciding what game to get rid of to bring in the next pin. Anyone think I should restencil the cabinet since the white has now yellowed,or should I leave the patina? Parts are missing from the coin door because I am polishing them while awaiting the new parts.

congrats on a your new pin. i love the old gottlieb wedge heads.the backglass looks to be near perfect.
 
Awesome pin. As far as restenciling, I say no. I just had a big...well semi big...actually people just voiced their opinions, on whether I should stencil mine. And judging by the condition of yours, I'd say don't do it. I wouldn't restencil my Gottlieb cabs and they're in the same condition as yours. I don't know for sure about yours (1976) but on mine (1971), that black "cracks" you see on the cabinet over the white is actually paint. In order to replicate that it'd take a bit of work and experimenting.
 
Congrats on your first pin. If it were me I'd repaint it. There are some that say you should keep the original paint, but I like the new look in my gameroom. The real question is, is the game worth the cost of the stencils and do you like it enough to keep?
