Installed with the neon behind. I took the liberty of upgrading the wishy washy soft pink that was the original colour and replaced with purple for more depth.
looks really good



Game now complete... on with the next job

Fantastic Gav, I did a back glass for a Zaccaria time machine recently using images and process from David gersic website.  This used translucent vinyl on acrylic.  Came up well, but not as well as yours.

What is it with Zaccaria pins that the back glasses are always smashed or missing?

Ive had 5 Zac games over the years and this is the only one with a missing or broken backglass.
The folding down header with a glass installed is the biggest killer i reckon, i also think that people tend to look after say a Gottlieb, Bally etc game more... its just a Zac... or its just a Playmatic etc.. but a Centaur is special and so extra care taken.
Last week i got told of one dealer that scrapped several zaccaria games simply due to missing backglass or non working neon... couldnt be arsed to repair.. game is a cheap Euro import so who gives a stuff?

If it aint Gottlieb, Williams, Bally its just rubbish.
LOL- thats my theory anyway  :lol :lol
