Hi guys,
I am after a Back glass to suit a Bally Playboy.
Let me know if you have one for sale, or know of any around.
Cheers Angelo

Do you mean 1978 Bally Playboy?
-
Sorry Tony, I meant 1978.... I will try to edit the title now

Angelo,
Our $'s not good and freight wouldn't be cheap but try

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.

Hi Guys,

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.

Hi guys,
I am still looking for a backglass for the Playboy.
Keep your eyes open for me.
Cheers Angelo

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.
