From a technical perspective, it can be done. The cabinets will be identical except the backglass panel.

Challenges would be ;

You will need a KISS playfield only for the wiring loom
The backglass panel will need to be custom built for the GI lamps, feature lamps and KISS logo. Not a hard task, but time consuming.

I'm not a big fan of "re-birthing" a machine - but you have already stated that the Glodetrotters was worn and tired, so I see the validity and I think it should be considered. Important thing is that it is YOUR machine to do what you like with, and it would work out cheaper in the long run. Another huge advantage is that you will HAVE to buy a repro playfield and backglass. It will also be repainted etc..

not a bad idea at all. Better than parting the Globetrotters out completelly.
