I have a Road Show for sale that I just finished restoring. The entire machine was taken apart; all assemblies disassembled and cleaned, all new plastics, playfield touched up, repaired and cleared, apron powder coated, legs, rails and lockdown bar painted and cleared with automotive cleared. Basically nearly everything on the machine was cleaned, and those parts that needed to be replaced were replaced. Of course there are all new rubbers, coil sleeves, etc. Full LED kit (I was told it was Cointaker's when I bought it) and NVRAM are installed.
This was a re-import, and there were some "creative" mods made, such as the typical leaf switch for flipper button instead of optos, a hand-made lexan "yoke" to drive the dozer blade, and a mechanical counter wired into the wiring harness to name a few. All of these items have been removed and replaced with the proper parts.
I ran through all switch tests, all solenoid tests, and all lamp/flasher tests and verified that everything worked. Those that didn't were repaired and/or replaced.
There were a couple items that prevented me from listing this as a full restoration:
1) The ramps for the game are fairly beat up. Nothing I can do about that, since repros are not being made (at least as of yet). I contacted Starship Fantasy several times throughout the 16 months I've had the game, but they indicated that the yellow plastic was the challenge. They did not rule them out, but nothing on the horizon. A previous owner reinforced key spots with metal they cut and shaped, so they don't affect play, but cosmetically they are not great.
2) A previous owner decided to cut the tabs off the bottom of the Ted assembly where it is held onto the playfield. Someone cut sheetmetal to shape and used it to mount the assembly. It works, but it's obviously not original.
I bought this game strictly as a winter project in January of 2017, but it sat largely untouched for about half the time since then. That being said, a lot of work went into this game which I think you'll be able to see in the pictures. Here is a link to a larger gallery:

I'm including a repro manual and the repro promo plastics and key fobs that came with the full plastic set.
I have a new game coming soon and need the space, so I am only interested in a cash sale - no trades. Shipping is not a problem if the buyer wants to arrange - I can meet the shippers at home and have the game ready to go. For local pickup, I will have the game waiting in the garage - no stairs and no hassle.
Please respond via PM - I generally do not go back and look at my own for sale threads, and only list them that way to get more exposure.
