Thanks Tony for the link.

Do you think a back glass would make it from New York To Australia OK?

Cheers Angelo

Angelo,

Might be worth sending a pm to Peter (gorgar1) Think he had a Gorgar backglass recently sent from Mayfair and had no issues.

Regards,
Tony

I've dealt with Mayfair - and they are very costly in the shipping area. Just to give you an idea ;

Pinball Glass US$250
Shipping US$350
Handling US$50

The standard answer is that he will not post to Australia - but he will - you just have to pay top $$$

The other alternative is to email CPR and ask if the backglass is being looked at for reproduction.

I had a glass shipped from a different seller, and insured it (including insuring the cost of the freight which was more than the glass, the extra cost to insure the freight was just a couple of dollars surprisingly). But it got here in one piece. They made a crate that was foam padded, I actually use it to store a couple of spare glasses now.

Forgot to mention - I've had 5 glasses sent from CPR (Canada) - and they all arrived safely

I recently enquired at Mayfair`s about a Playboy backglass, they had neither a NOS or used one available.

Didnt Peter have Wayne ship it from the US for him? I thought he had it sent to Wayne's store in US and then forwarded with a shipment of Wayne's to save costs?  I could be wrong maybe it was another member.

Angelo - Email the guys at CPR - see if the B/G is within their plans.

I just remembered Bumper had one a few weeks ago for sale for around $500.00, the description I got was that the glass had noticable sections of artwork missing/peeling. I was looking for a near mint one, may be ok if you don`t have one at all!

Thanks for the lead, I will ring them on Tuesday.

Angelo,
Try these guys in Belgium ( I think ).

They have a Playboy BG at 85 Swiss Francs or maybe Euros not sure.

Seems pretty reasonable but freight might be way over the top.
