Quoted from NJGecko:

I picked up a decent TAFG recently. It's all original. It needs to be restored though...cabinet needs to be restored.
What's the opinion on restored original vs replacement? I need to take a good look to see if it's got any major issues besides a chewed up head.
No matter how much time is spent restoring a cabinet, I feel like the lines will never be as sharp and crisp as a brand new one. But originality definitely counts I think...
Regardless it absolutely needs to be re-decaled. And I've got new gold rails, lockdown, etc on the way.
Same thing with the boards. The machine has original boards. I also have a full set of Rottendog boards hanging around.
Just wondering thoughts on keeping the game all original vs brand new replacement....

I wouldn't want to spend $7G on a tafg and have it come with rotton dogs.
