Nice machine
Where do you get your emi filters from Nino?
https://www.rockby.com.au/SearchresSql_12.cfm?select=14&subcode=7I buy in bulk. Freight is very good.
That Sinbad looks in pretty good nick already.
Good thought with the laminating of reference cards. I just tidied up my transformer board recently and thought they looked pretty fragile, I might have to pick them off again and do the same.
Can I ask the reason for replacing the EMI filter regardless? I replaced all the fuse holders on mine since they just looked dodgy after so long, but can the filters fail/become unreliable over time too?
I replace the filters because things get very ugly, smokey and smelly if they perish. I had a project game fired up for the first time in years and the "explosion" was not a pleasant experience ! The way I see it (for games of this vintage), it is an easy step to follow if I'm replacing the power cable and the Varistor - especially from USA machines.
Nice work Nino, what process did you do to clean up the transformer wood panel, keeping the original stampings/info tags stapled on 
I removed the tags, cleaned them with a dry rag and then laminated them. The wood panel was cleaned with a dry rag and then I used the compressor to blow out the dirt. Finally I used some sandpaper to achieve the original look.
