Quoted from Prmailers:

Here's my $.02
Clean it up (playfield looks a lot better after your cleanup already)
Get some novus2 and use it on the playfield and plastics.
Get new rubbers and ball
Get it working (shouldn't be too difficult, plenty of resources and help here if you need it)
And PLAY IT!
Worry about restoring the playfield later.
Think of it as a "road worn" vintage strat...

I agree. Get it working and play it. Keep an eye on ebay for a NOS playfield. It actually looks pretty good after you cleaned it. And I've had a lot of fun playing machines that looked a lot worse.
