WTB: Taito Monitor Bubble

Coming soon

I have access to the part you are looking for. I am going to be reproducing the monitor bubbles for Midway, both large and small, taito and some generics a friend was kind enough to loan me.

I will reproducing them in .093 black ABS.. The originals were done in .060 and in crap recycled plastic. This will be done in Virgin acrylic capped ABS.

More to come...

Crap plastic?

I disagree about the crap plastic.. As the (2) I have, one nos and the other installed on my frontline are both good quality. Pretty heavy duty too.. Maybe they had more than one version, or different supplier? These are the same material as taito bezels, but thicker. These are not repros but original taito parts.
 
The Taito ones were a bit thicker. The ones I have here that are midway and non-descript are total crap. Way too thin in .060 plastic.

Every re-pop I do will be in much thicker and better quality plastic than what was used in the 1970's and 1980's...

Stay tuned

Ahh..

Yeah, I do agree that the midway ones are garbage.. Had a Satans hollow mini that had a monitor bubble, and I was nervous each time I moved it that the plastic would crack..
 
Exactly. Every single mini back I have seen is either dented or cracked badly. I am lucky some local guys have all the backs and I am making molds tomorrow of 2 of them: the weird non descript one and the midway gorf and wizard of wor full size.
