I bought a Carnival Queen project close to 10yrs ago I think. While bingos are often considered worthless to many, this one was missing the backglass! For $50, I took it, and it's been in storage ever since. I watched RGP, Ebay, etc.. for a backglass, but nothing turned up.. I did find the complete manual package, then in the past year, a seller in Memphis had 2 NOS backglasses for sale! I bought one, while the other is still here:

The project is complete!
Thanksgiving day, I decided to pull the project out to set it up for the first time in who knows how long. Something interesting about this game.. Sheet metal covers the coin door and wrapped around the front/side to front, to front side. I pulled most of it off, but you can still see it's on one side below:
Also, there is a hole cut in the bottom of the game. I know this was used as a gambling device, and the sheet metal around the front of the cabinet probably offered extra security, but does anyone see the logic in the cut out in the bottom panel here??
Looking at the other side, the paint is in pretty decent original condition for the age and fact this probably pulled in a TON of money in its day.
So, I put the legs on the game, and noticed that these pinball legs have another layer of metal on the inside of the bolt hole area. I think these may be original to the game.
