Congrats on your new purchase. As mentioned above, AFM is a great game and highly rated out there in the pinball community.
Surprised though you've never played one before and let along made such big purchase via Ebay. If you endeavour to tackle the project side of things, good luck with it all.
I would just put up with it and play the god dam thing.
IMO i would keep CFTBL, as the two pinnies complement each other by "rescuing the girl". One's a redhead, the other is a blond. Now you need to get the brunette (TOTAN).
ps - ask MarkC to post out white flipper bats with the pinnie, as those black ones look shocking.
