Oh and dont forget the thinner glass too! Its meant to be 4.5mm... nothing like having the BG rattle away in its holding while you are playing.

Just to add cos it just came to mind.. GTB used 3mm glass - reckon they picked up GTB cut glass instead of WMS?? Anyone care to measure a GTB glass to check this??

I have CPR repro in my HH and it is thinner than the original.  I'd like to see them do the backglasses to the original specs.

660 X 660 is the same size as ROCKY BG so you should have no problems with this as its correct... However!!!

My bally Lost World glass is 725 X 653mm...

... reckon we may have solved this??? They used Bally glass but decided to run with it anyway

No problems fitting the glass, just didn't like how the cardboard for the house in the backbox lined up with the glass.  My original lines up perfect but the repro is a little out.

Good to hear.

Although it still sucks, as it would have looked "flash" if it fit right  ()
