Hi again all, Just thought id put up a few before and after pics of my 1969 Gottlieb MIBS. I bought this one about 15 years ago for just $20! Look at the before pics and you'll see why...
Some tool went spastic with the red, blue and gold paint!!! They even painted all of the lamps red!! I was unable to save the artwork under this mess, but luckily i was able to find detailed pics on the net of the cabinet artwork. It was left in ths state until about two years ago when i completely stripped the game for a full restoration.

And heres the results after about five months and several hunderd dollars. Once again not perfect but i'm pretty happy with the end results.
