I was in a similar position when I got my 1978 Playboy. Now I get to play it every day and admire the rails, nails and shine from end to end!
I would keep wondering if it would have looked better had I not taken the rails off but I have no regrets!
Did the same with Gorgar!
If you havent played it yet maybee the rush to play it needs to come into the equation?
