Appreciate the replies boys.
Maybe I should be a bit more clear and narrow down my own quriosity. I understand the argument of the cab/paint still looks good, so leave it .. looks quite faded with plenty of dents and marks, so fix and paint etc. In the end my original question will give a plethora of different opinions .. which is gr8, but will still leave me asking myself certain things.
So .. to narrow it down. If anyone has a stencilled SS alphanumeric baby, with faded/dented/scratched cabinet etc ... but new/restored legs, coin door, playfield & parts ... a few sexy-time
photos of them would be gr8 to see, and hence get a true feel of what to expect if I went down this route.
Thx again.
