Back in 2010 I restored a Gottlieb "Cleopatra" that had been in a fire where part of the backbox was charred. It was in a lot worse condition than your Playboy is. The details of the restoration are posted here:

If you've followed the Stern Playboy fire damaged machine thread, don't forget to soak the metal parts in Evapo-Rust to clean them up.

I have seen the plating coming off of the .100" male header pins lots of times now. It is especially troublesome on the MPU board connectors. So definitely check/replace connectors.
