I'll have to push this one up in the restoration queue to celebrate. Looking every bit it's fifty years. It was used as an ashtray at some point, as you can see from the bottom left picture.

Pinball Resource is out of stock on the KoD repro plastics--just an FYI for all the restorers out there.

They still can be found from a few other sources though, so not all is lost.

Quoted from CactusJack:

All of the overlays pictured so far ( including the one at Mad) appear to be Herb's original version. Which was horribly off as you mentioned. For RetroPinball, I corrected the blue, yellow, peach, and white colors as best I could from a different playfield (under posts). We also moved a couple of holes in the sling shot areas since we used late model hardware.
As far as I know, Herb moved the die cut holes back to original and should be using the newer color pallet now. If you are in need of an overlay, you should check with him.

Spoke to Herb via email last week. Quoted $250USD shipping included in the lower-48 for a KOD overlay. I didn't inquire if this was the original version or the corrected one. Also has backglasses and plastic sets.
