Nice work!! Any issues with the dimpling or hole placement on your repro? Another pinsider had several issues, though they still did a great job with it.
Yours looks great!

Congrats on joining the club!
Sounds like an SCR on the lamp driver may be bad, causing the game over light to stay lit.
The lettering on the backglass is just regular general illumination as far as i know. An easy way to tell is to look at the back side of the insert panel (the door behind the backglass that swings out to reveal the circuit boards) and see if there's any special wiring going to those light sockets. Otherwise there may just be more general illumination sockets/wiring there. If you want to make them flash, you can add blinker bulbs (i added a couple behind some of the stars on the back glass to make a 'twinkling' effect)...
Another way to check is to grab the manual and check the section listing the controlled lamps -- all will be listed there (plus it will tell you where to find the potentially faulty SCR for the Game Over lamp).
Good luck!
Quoted from JakePG:Can anyone tell me if this is the correct capacitor for standup targets?

You want a 0.05uf or 0.047uf cap (ceramic is good, film is even better for longevity) for that purpose. Marco carries these:
