I didn't require the pinball score window fix as this game has a very good backglass, and I seldom replace them unless they are very crazed. As Adam (Crashramp) pointed out, the replacements are available here -

just goes to show how good an old playfield can come up,no need for clear coating. You can't beat experience. The game looks fantastic.

Nino
Can i ask where you get brand new Siamese posts for the spinner and a new spinner from?
These items are almost impossible to find.

I'm thinking of making a blue sword sticker and applying it to a freshly painted spinner instead....

Pinball Resource have the spinner, but not the Siamese posts. They used to have the Siamese posts, but they don't stock them any longer.

Yea they didn't have the spinner in stock either when we ordered.

What do you do for Siamese posts as an alternative? I have completely restored my Sinbad playfield and can't bare to look at yellow posts and a shitty spinner, lol

No worries Greg, Good luck with the restoration. You guys sound like your going all out with this game, I'm sure it'll be great when it's all done.

End result, all new plastics, posts, globes, flipper rebuilds, pop bumper skirts and caps, even a new playfield glass...
Only missing parts are Siamese posts and spinner...

The spinner was available from Pinball Resource a few years ago.
