Yea, mine was routed for then left in a garage until I got it basically for free.
The stenciling wasn't that difficult. SI has pretty complex artwork so the only part I was nervous about was peeling the stencil off after I painted. Here was my way of doing it:
1- lay stencil down
2- I laid down multiple light paint layers immediately after each other until it was covered to my liking
3- Wait 10-15min, then start peeling the stencil up
4- wore gloves to peel the stencil as you Will get covered in paint, peeled slowly by pulling straight up or close to it, be careful with the intricate art pieces so they don't tear off the stencil, I had some small junk needle nose pliers ready in case I needed to grab a few small pieces that tore off
5 - left it for a week before i did the next layer (As the layers are rather thick, i wanted to give it enough time to dry completely, also i did this in the winter and it was a bit cooler than i'd prefer in the basement so i had a small heater running in my make-shift paint tent to keep it ~70°.)
Long story short, multiple light layers back to back over several minutes per stencil. I had no issues with paint tearing or running or anything else. The worst thing I did was a drop part of a peeled stencil on the cab as I was peeling. Thankfully, I was able to just wipe it up in the area it touched, so no issues in the end. This was all done with Rustoleum 2X spray paint. Here are the colors I used..

For the cabinet, I broke the old cabinet down and used it as a template for the new one.
Table saw, router, a sharp pencil and some good wood glue. I got the wood from a local cabinet shop as they tend to have a nice selection of wood available and let me have some scrap they had as well for smaller stuff in the cabinet.

Hopefully that was helpful, let me know if you had any other questions. CPR is apparently CNCing the new SI playfields right now, so hopefully I'll get my new pf before too long and I'll start a new thread in the restoration section about this whole process.
