Very nice Freiherr! That side angled profile pic of your Flash on top of page 3 is a gr8 shot. Now all you need to do is add a few gouges, scratches and rough the paint up a bit for me to get the look I'm trying to analyse 
:) Amazing original paint!!
To further narrow down what I'm trying to get my head around ... and after seeing Freiherrs aforementioned side pic of his Flash, I'm asking myself this question...
"With nice new/restored legs, side rails, coin door, shmick playfield .. will/does the old, scratched, dented, patina'd cabinet overwhelm or take anything away from the rest of the shiny bling, or does it give a wierd balance of old/new.. where the new is strong enough to make the cabinet look impressive, but the old wood and art gives it some history?"
