I bought this game more than 20 years ago and have never removed the upholstery around the cabinet and head. I peeled back one corner to see if the original paint was in good shape. It looks scratched up a bit but not terrible. Still, someone really took time to do a makeover on this game. The only drawback is that it muffles the bells quite a bit. That, and it looks like it belongs in a 1970s lounge next to the velvet Elvis painting. Anyone ever seen anything like it?
