I picked up an Asteroids Deluxe recently (yay!) and the backdrop is not in the greatest shape, although still usable. Just to be clear, I'm talking about the 3D, glow under black light cardboard piece. Does anyone make repros of these?
 
The backdrop was missing from my game when I bought it. I was lucky enough to buy one from a fellow klov member back in 2009. I'm surprised nobody has reproduced these yet.

ask someone who is selling a fauty one on ebay if they would mind selling the part you need,that is how i got my usa coin door harness for the cab i have re.i did ok seeing as the chances of getting it here in uk was very very slim and the guy only wanted like $200 for the cab,he got about $30 for the coin door harness.

I have a backdrop I pulled out of an AD I crushed and I am semi local to you..

The back drops come in 2 flavors. one greenish tint and the other is orangish tint. I think the marquee also tend to tint the color of the backdrop.

Not likely a part that will get reproed due to the blacklight paint.. Plus its not flat and has raised elements to it..
 
its also a very complicated print
if films ever surfaced Im sure it could be done but proably wouldnt be cheap.
Ive looked very closely at this and how it was orginally printed
its both Screened with Flouresents AND Offset printed for more realistic detail and color.
with some other parts die cut.

It sure would be nice to see happen though.
 
Thanks for the tips fellas. Nice pic Phet, I take it yours must be the more orange version Mr Bill mentioned?
 
black light art...

Not just the AD but in general someone should tackle black light art -

Omega Race background
Space Invaders background

I am sure there are more needing repros...
