I have a "Captain Fantastic" machine (four-player, 1976) that's been stored out in the garage for about 5 1/2 years, so it needs some work. I'm in the process of sizing up the job ahead and I have a few questions...I'm sure I'll think of more. Any thoughts/ideas, sources, advise, abuse or tips will be appreciated.
Image 1: There are 4 of these posts around the top of the playfield supporting the plastic panel. They definitely look wrong; they're 1 inch cylindrical posts with screw heads under the panel. I'm thinking these are supposed to be the 1 1/4 inch fluted posts; is that correct? Were they originally white?

Image 2: This is the only post on the whole machine that's red; is that correct/original?
Yep...needs cleaning & new rubber
Image 3: These (2) targets are red; is that correct?

Image 4: I know I'm best off replacing these clear plastic panels, but since I don't own a money factory they're far down the list. Is there a good way to clean these up?

Can I get some help identifying this switch?

These guides are obviously not a set; what are the originals supposed to look like?

I know the slotted openings in the plastic panels near the outlanes are "difficulty" adjustments but what are the slots on this panel for?

Yeah, the pic is kind of useless but...all the lights under the pinball machine flash except the one under the "A" in "Bally"...is it supposed to flash too?
