I picked up a 1950 Gottlieb Knockout and would like to have it restored. Looking for recommendations on who might be able to restore it.

Here is what I have to work with:

Thanks!

I would like to see the brown paint either removed from the cabinet and see if the paint below is serviceable or have the cabinet repainted.
I would like to have the inserts leveled or fixed.
I would like the machine given a once over mechanically to ensure everything is working properly.
Beyond that I would be up for any other recommendations.

The game works, but playing it with the inserts sunken in is wearing the playfield.

Have yet to receive any recommendations. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I’m in Indiana. I will soon have a new playfield. I’m good with the backglass. Definitely need to either remove the brown paint and see what is underneath or repaint.

I can travel. Been to PA 3 times in the past year or so.
