That looks great!! Can I ask a few questions about your restoration?
1. Where did you get the blue cab matching paint?
2. The clear plastic outlane guides look new...the ones on my game are pretty much destroyed. Do you know where I can get new ones?

Thanks in advance,
Dan
 
Thanks, guys. It was a crapton of work.

1. Matched paint from here:
http://www.pinballuniverse.com/PinballPaints.htm

I've used the R&B, DESW, TFTC and JD paint from there.
R&B, DESW, and TFTC were dead-on.
JD was close but not perfect, but there is a lot of halftone going on on the JD cabinet, so matching at all is tough.

2. The clear plastic outlane guides are original. I removed them completely and cleaned thoroughly with isopropyl.
You can get new ones:
