Thanks guys.
This backglass sure was a challenge for me, im pretty happy with how it turned out.. and yes the game was close to being parted out or sold at one point but im glad now that i persisted with it. At that particular time i was fed up with the problems i was having with the game, and with the backlass issues i thought i'd had enough of it. BUT... after leaving the game alone for a few days and having a good think about it, i came up with the ideas that i put into this glass. Im not aware of anyone having restored a glass in this fashion before, but im not going to say im the first to do it either.. i reckon some one out there would've HAD to have tried something similar. And i have another game coming soon that has similar backglass issues, only worse... so it'll test me out for sure!!
PLUS, in between doing this glass i managed so sort out the mechanical issues i was having with it that were pissing me off. only very minor issues with the electrics (switch adjustments) that can be dealt with after the playfield is stripped and restored and the cabinet is resprayed.
So now im pretty fired up to get the rest of the game done now..
