Revived Backglass !! :)

Wow, that's crazy lucky! Nice snag... you got it for a song, too. Fingers crossed it gets to you in one piece!

Will you send it off for restoration or just install it as-is?

Just received it today.. I think I am going to get some HiRes photos of it and recreate it. Might just store the original away.

There are some missing paint areas, trim on bottom is missing, I just lucky to find one..

On day I will clean the machine up, and take some good photos.

Scanning / Photograph

Do you have a means to scan it before you install it?

I have been looking around for a print shop that has a large flat bed scanner. But I think it might be easier just to get some photos taken of the glass (both sides).

Get the digital images, clean up the artwork & mask. Get it reprinted and put between 2 pieces of Plexiglas.

Not sure right now.. Just happy to have it.. :)

Did you ever get a response from BGresto? Now that you have an original backglass, they can restore it/reprint it for you.
 
Yes a coin door would be great.

Once again, does anyone here have this machine.. ?? :)

Really nice condition overall, but do have some concerns about the hologram image. It's dirty and looks like a several inch portion has been rubbed off from it rubbing on something or a bad attempt at cleaning. I imagine finding another will be next to impossible. Glass is near perfect. Gun showing age but not cracked and completely restorable.

Will need disassembly for cleaning and flattening the cardboard images.

All targets are there and bright colors.

Sound sound works, scores, timer works although there as a lag sometimes.

This one wasn't free though. Still got it for what I think is a good price.

Well, the hologram is in pretty rough condition. Everything else is great. Looks like someone tried to clean it before and screwed it up pretty good. Was covered in a bit of a layer of dust and when I got it off, the damage could be seen much better.

Time to start looking...

Great looking machine.. My hologram is all faded, and gone.. I am looking for a couple of pieces to 3D print.. :)
