Any old backglasses?
« on: September 27, 2009, 08:37:05 PM »
Two good things came out of this weekend -
A Profootball backglass that I bought about a year ago was finally framed. Although the backglass is probably a 5/10, it still looks good framed up.
Secondly, I bought a Cleopatra backglass from Marty Machine - had to wait for my brother in law (who travels to Melbourne every now and then) to pick it up. I got it from him today - looks great and I'll frame it up.
I want to get a 50s and 60s backglass. Anyone restoring an EM and will be replacing the backglass, don't throw it out - even if it is a 3 or 4 out of 10.
Let me know.
I'm putting them in my gamesroom (aka my half of the garage) to give it some additional atmosphere, plus and can't bear to think that even crappy old backglasses get dumped.
Even Mrs Bossninja thinks they look OK.
Wanted: GTB Aquarius backglass. Any playfield bits and backglasses from any EMs - nothing is junk to me.

With some luck my 3 new Shay backglasses will arrive in a container next week - so you can have 2 of them - Foto Finish (Gottlieb 61) and Criss Cross (Gottlieb 58). The other reproduction glass is Sunshine (Gottlieb 58) but that is spoken for.

They will be here at the meet  ^^^

I'm looking at buying Big Casino (Gottlieb 61), Rack a Ball (Gottlieb 62) and Corral (Gottlieb 61) in the next few months so they will also be available  ^^^

So there are 5 pretty nice Gottlieb glasses from the 1950s and 1960s  *%*

Tony
You are a saint!
I've got a couple of pics and bits & pieces I'll bring with me in return.
THANKS

Mark,

Will also have down the track stripped playfields for World Fair (Gottlieb 64), Happy Clown (Gottlieb 64) and Thoro-Bred (Gottlieb 65) if you are interested - after swapping the N.O.S. playfields around that arrive next week  #*#
