Backglass sizes???HELP...
« on: June 09, 2009, 09:02:47 PM »
Just my luck...well not really as Im mostly lucky..lol..
Just got my NEW flash backglass....and the damn thing is 7mm longer than the original one...and WONT fit in the backbox...
The original is 648 x 723mm and the new one is 655 x 725mm....and the print is out if your measure from the bottom up...so if you could even get it in the no way will it line up with the displays...
Any help???I doubt it..lol

Sounds like a "slightly imperfect" or seconds glass to me.

CPR (original manufacturer) do sell "seconds" backglasses cheaper if you ask them nicely  &&

They had some "8 Ball" glasses with slightly discoloration and they offerred a discount. not that it helps your situation !

Return the glass and ask for a refund.

reckon he would refund if its not the right size, shame its damaged though

I almost bought one from him myself for the machine, but decided the original was still good enough.
Goodluck Paul

It is simply a case of being the wrong size. If it was the correct dimensions, then you would not have accidentally damaged the glass and it would be proudly fitted to your machine.

Probably a "one off" issue that was not picked up at production ?
