Quoted from SilverBallKid:

Plastics and backglasses are available from our good friends at CPR. Colors on the backglasses aren't a true match as I am sure others will point out but overall they look amazing and I have one in my Space Odyssey. Specifically, it is the moon/planet on the left which is more yellow in the CPR version and more white in the originals I have always seen.
My suggestions as someone who owns one as far as your repair list goes:
Spend the $7.00-$10.00 Steve at Pinball Resource charges per pop bumper and rebuild your pops. You will NOT regret it, especially since you are starting with a "barn find" table.
PBR sells a flipper rebuild kit. It's $49.99 if I remember correctly. They will become snappy and strong again. You will not be disappointed. PBR also sells a chime unit rebuild kit that is only $7.50. It is so worth it and I know from your photos of your chime unit that it will improve the sound of our chime unit immensely.
If you want to talk about selling me the playfield you don't use I'd love to talk about it with you. Hit me up if you're interested. I have been looking for one for years and have posted in the PFs Wanted thread here multiple times with no luck. Again, shoot me a PM if you want to talk about it.
Reviews on Pinside aren't too favorable, but I really love my Space Odyssey/Space Mission. Have fun and good luck. Lots of helpful cats in the EM section of Pinside if you hit snags! I'll be following this thread closely!
Again, have fun and good luck! EMs are awesome!

I agree with the rebuilding advice above. The machine will play much better with the new parts. I cleared the playfield on my Space Mission and rebuilt all the playfield mechanicals. The game is very fast and fun. Bye the way I have a Space Odyssey playfield in my Space Mission. The only difference is the color of the pop bumpers. It works perfect. Good luck with your game.
