The Good:
You'll probably never find another Game Show that has been restored to this level.
100% working order and has been very dependable since the restoration.
Whatever I have left over from the restoration…you can have.

The Bad:
4 inserts have some bubbles in the clear coat.
Not very noticeable…especially with the insert light on.
It’s the only thing about this restoration that I wish was better.
While playing...I really don't notice it.
