    Default Vintage 1972 Nishijin restore help

    I have a 1972 Nishijin Shiroi Kamome that I picked up about 15 years ago and have finally got around to start a full restoration including restoring the blonde cabinet finish. I want to replace the field background as it has heavy water stains. I've looked on Pachinko Planets site and do not see my background or any close to it. Are there any other sites that carry backgrounds out there? I have also been thinking about making it 1 solid color field and wanted to get some opinions on this idea as well.

    I think I figured it out some time in its working history the playing field had been replaced from a cloud pattern. When I was taking the field off a second field was underneath the top layer it was a cloud pattern. Since I'm going with traditional restoration with some upgrade I found my field replacement the pattern is called Ape camo the splotches are ape heads it keeps with the original color scheme while up dating the look. I'll keep you guys posted in pictures as it comes along.
