Just starting a Gottlieb Haunted House restoration. "BEFORE" pics

hello.
i found this haunted house about 2 months ago and i have been working on it a small amount each morning.......well now i found out every thursday i will be working overtime and i think i will devote the rest of those evenings to this machine.....i really want to take my time and fix it right....
this came from a homeowners house who just wanted it gone. it all works except it needs a EOS switch on the left flipper which i just got in the mail last week from steve young at pinball resource and it needed 1 bumper cap. here is the before pictures of it

my question is.......does ANYONE have a picture of the side of the backbox (head)....like a closeup picture. or can anyone who owns a haunted house tell me how large of a black border goes around the edge of the side of the backbox (head). i think its supposed to be around 1/4 of an inch.
this machine also has NO upgrades or mods done to it. i hope to find a good website or some good advice on what is recommended to do to these machines.

i used to have a black hole long ago before we fixed electronic games and i sold it for $200. what an idiot i was.

anyhow i can hear the attract sounds coming from the machine........im going to go and try to put the EOS switch on now

Looks nice, wish I had one!

Actually, the pinwiki site for Sys 80 is fairly complete. You should find all of the standard/necessary fixes detailed in there. (power supply, grounding, etc)

Some pics of the side of the head are here:

If you need more detail or measurements, I should be able to help this evening. I also have some info on the paint I got that matches the green very well. It was from a hobby/craft shop in a small bottle. I had to repaint some of the front of mine.

The pinwiki site coming along nicely, but if you want the old pinrepair info...

arcarc.xmission.com used to have a "web archive" section in the pinball folder with a backup of marvin3m... but it looks like they've wussed out and removed it. (Now I'm glad I leeched all of arcarc a couple months ago...)

EDIT:
Those links don't seem to work... try the top 3 hits here:
