Where can I get just the front decal for a Getaway Pinball?

I recently picked up a getaway pinball. $450 It didn't work(said check fuse 114 and 115) , missing the translite/glass and the display is gassing out. Also the coin door is Warped from someone kicking it I guess and beckom top cover missing . The side art is okay but the front art definitely needs to be replaced.

Not looking to put a lot of money in because I plan to resell. I estimated that I will have about $900 in it by the tine I'm done.

I replaced 2 or 3 connectors that were burnt from cold solder joints. Did my research on the check fuse issue. I found that a cap leaked and corroded two traces, causing it to miss 12v. 2 jumpers and the game works. (Yay my first pinball repair.) As for most of the parts missing and broken. Perks of knowing someone with a garage packed with games and parts. I now have a back glass, replacement door, Beacon cover, back glass lock bracket. Also bought leds locally.

Atm Parts I know I need

Translite( planetary pinball seems to be my only option)
Display(may have located one)
Front Artwork

May have more technical issues because I noticed at one point the back ramp would not stop moving up and down

Most Getaways have faded artwork on the sides (red color). I have never seen any Getaway that had a messed up front without having the sides faded. I would just but the 5-piece set and do it right. Either sell it as is or do a complete cabinet restoration.
 
Luckily my sides arent faded just the front is. I think leaving it as-is would turn away random home buyers so I would like to replace it if someone can print it for me.

Right now all I need is a translite and the front art. I got a working display and clean and led the pinball 2 days ago.
 
They make an alternate translite you can buy, or post a WTB ad on Pinside and someone will likely have a spare stock one.

As for the front artwork, it wouldn't be that hard to make the artwork for it. Get a scan or a nice clear picture, make the artwork, get it printed on some vinyl. Slap it on.

Doing whole cabinet decals is very expensive and time consuming, but that front is so bad even a mediocre decal will make it look way better.
 
Bay Area Amusements has a set as well. I haven't seen just the front decal though. Perhaps you could buy the whole set and sell the rest? There are LOTS of Getaways that need a decal or two. If you order from retrorefurb please let us know how it goes. I've considered using them for a set of decals but haven't pulled the trigger.
