Thanks for the replies everyone and for putting up the link.This was one of those rare times that as soon as i told the wife there was a GNR on ebay she just said buy it  .Usually i would have had to bring her around on buying another pin and i said to her i would only go to 4.5k on it,BUT those couple of issues i mentioned are enough to put me off it.

Mate.. dont be put off too easily... its always a trade off with condition against price.

it MIGHT be possible to pick this up relatively cheaply for a GNR in which case a PF restore could be affordable.
The item description is a bit suss.. its says.." no playfield wear"... strictly speaking this isnt true as it does have wear but its underneath the poor touch ups.
It is a great game and if you could get this for around $2800 id say you snapped a bargain, touch ups or no touch ups.
Personally, i wouldnt be pointing anything like $4500 at this machine though
