Thanks for the encouraging words!

Yes, now that you mentioned it, I thought just the artwork was faded... it looks like the laminate is faded too. I guess I'm painting :P
I was debating between quarterarcade.com or arcadeshop.com for the side art. I've seen people say good things about both. arcadeshop's stuff appears to be $17 more.
The game itself is working great and the monitor has been capped and looks sharp and colorful with no screen burn-in I can detect.
I did see that mikesarcade.com had the restrictor plate, but now that I've inspected the joystick in more detail, I'm not sure what to make of it. It seems too tall above the control panel and the ball top doesn't seem to quite fit the shaft. I've attached a close up pic of it.
I'm considering the Braze kit for the future, but for now I want to keep it original.

The ball top looks like it's not screwed on all the way. you might try and loosen the set screw and screw the ball on farther,there should be a squared end on the stick end to hole shaft with a wrench. I also have side art from quarterarcade you can have for $40.00 + shipping. PM if interested.I just noticed it looks like no set screw in ball top. Could you take picture of underside of control panel to verify you have a Nintendo joystick. If you do videogameparts.com has replacement shafts if yours is not Nintendo or stripped or something else is wrong with it.
