Well good for you. This is a great time for rebuilding/returning Pins back to life. I have brought back two EBD's myself this year. The first, an 1981, came out super and I sold. The second, an LE, I am still putting on a few more touches and have plans to get it totally restored. It plays well, as is but, I want it to be perfect. Both were my first EBD's and I can attest to EBD being a great playing game. What impressed me the most is both games basically came to me in parts and nothing worked originally. After getting the corrosion off the connectors, a lot of both games came back to life. If you are good at board work, I envy you. If the boards have problems for about 600 bucks you can replace all but the S and T. My second game's S and T required major work. Chris Hebler repaired mine for half the price of the ones overseas. There is a shortage of S and T parts, so , I would recommend you figure out if your S and T needs work or just send it to Chris (some one else?) to get yours repaired/rebuilt.
Good luck, I will be following your thread.
