You should try to save that side art. Mask it off while you work on the rest of the cab sides. It looks to be in good shape and the only repro stuff available is really not the right color.

Yeah, I've been going back and forth on what to do as far as painting. The art is in really good shape so I thought of getting a small can of matched-color Valspar (gloss, semigloss?) paint from home depot and just touching up the nicks and scrapes here and there. There are really only a couple of spots where the wood is damaged and those are very small and close to the t-molding. There is a definite 'patina' on the paint, you can see that the clear coat over the paint has darkened over the years so I'm hoping to take a paint chip from an area with this 'aged' color to get a match from. The inside area near the bezel/monitor/speakers is really just in need of a good cleaning. I think if I replace t-molding and just really scrub it down everywhere else it will look great. My goal is to have the cabinet in as close to original and restored shape as possible. I can't find a good reproduction CP like the one ThisOldGame did (although he says he may do another run sometime.) I found a CP overlay for Gorf on eBay but I'm not sure how it would look. http://cgi.ebay.com/GORF-PANEL-OVERLAY-STICKER_W0QQitemZ370181846422QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item56308eb596&_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116

TOG is out of them?
I would avoid that Willis control panel overlay. I'd rather stay with the one you have than put that on.

Yes it comes with mounting hardware.
