1979 williams time warp backglass wanted

[d3vlin]

was just wondering if any one knows of any one that has a time warp backglass. i have one but it is really average. im from geelong so probably from the melbourne area. if posible

You will need to be patient with this one..

TW bg's are out there but not many good examples of one...Most of the games I've seen had real shitty bg's. Crazing and cracking in the paintwork, similar to yours.

Williams of that era i believe used lesser quality paints to save cash and now it shows...

I had the same problem with my Blackout. Purchased it hoping to find a NOS glass...Yeah right, 4 years of searching and being patient the best i could find was a 7/10 glass to replace my 3/10...

So be patient and good luck as i am sure one will eventually pop up.

ill try to be patient. the way i am looking at it is that i at least have a back glass for it. it could be worse and have np0 back glass at all and just have a heap of globs shining at you.   

[Pinfan]

Yeah being patient is the key and having a glass that's legible helps also.......

This is what i had before i found the better bg !!

Be patient - A glass will turn up eventually.

Mines pretty good I reckon as it had been touched up long before I bought it off Nino(thanks again Nino ) From the front all you can really see is some cracking in the large yellow area but to the un-educated it almost looks like its meant to be there!
Good luck looking and if you come across a few I'm in for one

if i get enough spear time and alot more patients i might try and touch it up just so it does not let as much light through it

In the meantime you could put white rubber lamp covers on some bulbs like they use on DMD's. Softens the light a bit and doesn't look as piercing through the bad areas of the glass.
