I haven't rushed into this one and had a good close look and think about what to do here.
The playfield upon close inspection is in fantastic condition, the mylar has preserved it beautifully with no worn areas at all. If I can remove the mylar without any damage to the paint this may not need clear coating, just cleaning and polishing as I won't have to do any artwork touch ups. I may repaint the white under the plastics and brush some KBS over those sections but I will see how it comes up after the mylar removal.

A lot of the inserts are loose and raised, should be easy to get out due to the fact they move when you push on them is promising, the writing on them is still all intact but they have domed in slightly so I might try the boiling water and dowel method to even them out again then re-seat them. If anyone has any good suggestions for flattening these inserts feel free to chime in. :) I would normally just fill them with a bit of clear but I don't want to clear coat this one.

Apron and target decals have arrived so that is taken care of, just saving up for a 4 in 1 board to get the electronics good but in the meantime I will re-pin the connectors.

Here are some playfield pics, you can see the raised inserts.
