Since Strange World is my favorite Osborne design (indeed, my overall favorite wedgehead), I'll get this party started with some photos.

Quoted from VGC1612:

That playfield!Its a original?Look so perfect and those colors!

Thank you. I got lucky. It's an all-original survivor.

The play meter reading was 37,507 when I acquired the game many years ago. The backglass is flawless. Strange World cabinets were prone to fading and this one has some fading in the lavender/pink graphics. I performed incidental touch-ups to the grid area primarily of the playfield. . .didn't need much attention, though. Best of all, the original instruction envelope and contents therein came with the game.

What I like so much about SW is that its fun-factor belies its appearance. No return flipper lanes. No spinners. No drop targets. One lousy kick-out hole, one rollover and some stand-up targets. . .seems like a giant yawn fest. Yet, it's just the opposite. It's a real player's game, requiring skill and strategy with, naturally a dose of strange luck.

Quoted from pocketscience:

Mine has a lot more wear than this. Someone on here was going to produce a decal, but not sure whatever happened to that. Would be a good interim solution whilst waiting on repro PF.

Manitouguy in Vancouver, BC is the Pinsider who was planning to create a grid decal.

Awhile ago, he started an entertaining thread about having over-utilized magic eraser on his Strange World grid. I am fairly sure that he did indeed make the decal.

Strange World garners the most attention, followed by Blue Note, in my line-up. I utilize a black-colored ball in Strange World because it mimics the black eyeballs in Morison's fantastic art package.

Here is how the black pinball ball appears in Strange World. To me, it mimics the alien eye motif in the plastics and on Morison's backglass art. . .very psychedelic.
