Polaris Arcade Cabinet; My New Family Member

Welcome home, my dear Polaris! I got this arcade cabinet with marquee and game PCB by a friend (thanks, Tobiase!). It is much of an object for renovation, which is probably one of the reasons he gave it away . However, it will be a fun project, and I’m sure the game will shine like a star when it’s ready.

As mentioned above, I also got the Polaris PCB, an original game by Taito from 1980. Yes, the game is one year older than me! I feel like being its little brother, and I’m perfectly pleased with that. Here follows a photo of the PCB.

Further, I would like to do something to the control panel. The printing is in quite bad shape and it would really need a polish. Do you have any idea how I can fix this? I am prepared to grind it completely clean and repaint it black, if I only find out a way to add the green, blue and white parts to look original. However, I won’t touch it until I’m sure I can make it look perfect.
