Re: New testing for translites & backglass

Just got back the first test, it would still need some tweaking to look outstanding. But if you had no real alternative for a real backglass, or the cost didn't justify the expense this might be a good alternative method. So this might be a real good alternative for do it yourselfers, since the windows have to be cut out & I used a black sharpie to hide the white plastic used edge of windows (inside - cut edge). The translite would come shipped in a tube. Licensing for Bally/ Williams is required if they are sold, & I will ask Illinois Pinball to seek approval from WMS. There is tons of art ready to go but The Pinball Factory seems to have chilled off the supply. I hope both parties see the possibilities, WMS gives approval of this product for old pinball games pre translite pins. I will continue to try to move forward with a licensed party (Illinois Pinball).

As usual my picture taking isn't the best. The German guys have 100 + files ready to go. The goal is still to do backglass the real way if there is demand. But for 1 or a few, translites are the way to go.
