In honor of repairing my free Firepower, I have decided to splurge and purchase a better backglass. Mine has some pretty severe damage from years of heat.

I'm looking for something in the 7-8 range, preferably local, but I can work with shipping. I don't need perfection, since this pin is far from perfect. It does need to look good when lit, though.

I'm willing to pay more for something better if you've got it. But I just can't justify $250 for a Mayfair repro at this point. Not until I get a replacement playfield and re-stencil the cabinet.

Let me know what you've got. Thanks!
 
Thanks for the link to Eldorado games. Looking at what they've got (as well as a few others I've found in various places) I can see that I'm going to pay upwards of $200 to get one in respectable condition in my hands. While I'm not opposed to paying for what I need, I also realize 2 things:


  1. Mayfair's repro can be had for only $75 more
  2. CPR is producing a playfield repro run very soon. This means a bunch of owners are going to get new playfields, which means they'll want new glasses too. I suspect that in a certain time period there will be a significant amount of original glasses put up for sale.
While I mull my decision, I'm going to take a closer look at my glass. I may try some triple thick first and then see what I can do about repainting the affected areas. The most noticeable areas of flaking are in the area of the right wing of the largest ship (common, as I've seen) and in the 'game over' area. I'm hoping I can achieve scraping and repainting those areas. That will crutch me along until I can get a decent glass.
