Star Wars - fully working!
Spyridon:
In order to remove the remaining parts of the Fire Fox overlay, I clamped the piece to a board to hold it in place for removal.
Using a wire wheel attachment on my drill, the white overlay remains easily came off
Next I hit it with a coat of Rustoleum satin black paint. That will keep any rust from forming and give the new overlay a nice clean spot to adhere to.
still wet:

I was just in the shed taking pics of the finished electrical project and noticed that my Star Wars has no red in the art either.

Both sides or just one? Seems to be common to have the red faded.

I guess I'm lucky. One side is red (very slight fading), other side is pink.

Which is, of course, part of the AVG circuit Kevin told you to check...

Yes, but knowing what I need to check and knowing how to check it are two different things. I'm kind of at a standstill here as I don't know if I can fix this myself or not.

Very true. The best way I can think of on those chips is to order some spares. Desolder the ones in there, put in some good sockets, and swap them with the new ones. See what happens. If you want to now you can swap the X and Y to see if the problem switches to the other one.

Where can I order these chips? I looked at arcadechips.com but I'm not sure what I'm looking for.
