[Guy with a Pinball]

Count me in for a Gtlb Big Shot

I am also in Adelaide if that helps.

Please count me in for 2 backglasses if this goes ahead.

I need to know which backglasses you need otherwise i cant help you.

[Sinbad79]

Just has word from Stephen.

"if you purchase 3-8 restorations, in one order, I can give you a $40 discount per glass vs the $225 price… If you order more than 8 in one order, I can give you a $50 discount per glass… "

With shipping, i estimate at this stage that the cost per glass would be approx $240USD landed.

I'll update once i know more.

Are there any available that are not listed on his website?

The process demonstrated here is nothing more than anyone could do themselves. its not like Greatwitch john's process which is actually digitally printed direct to glass (a much more costly way of printing).
The way these are done is almost the same way that I demonstrated here:

Only difference being that my blockout on the back is sprayed on and theirs is a print.
The vacuum seal bit is a beef up and the oven process is just a lamination to shrink wrap the print to the glass and can be done with a hair drier.

I was under the impression that to get a glass from these guys, you had to supply a glass?

Is that just a way of avoiding license issues?

You will need to provide a front and rear picture of your current backglass .. not sure what happens if you don't have a current glass

In the case of two of the glasses I need, I'll just take a picture of the headbox. I do have a picture of one of the glasses, but it is in a million pieces

You can just state that the back glass has been destroyed, or didn't come with the game. I think he's rather relaxed about it from what I can gather.

What's the consensus here? I'm more than happy to support local, it's my preference, bgresto just seemed more authentic at the time?

Assuming Retropin can do all these glasses, what do you guys think?
Open for discussion..

Gavin's work will not doubt be of excellent quality, but bombarding him with a list of backglasses and expecting them yesterday won't happen ! I'm sure Gav can chime in here.

I'd like to see Bigresto's quality.

Not sure if that was directed at me, but i'm headed overseas next month, so im not in any hurry whatsoever. I'll be paying of a decent credit card debt.

Lol- my point was that if you have the artwork then you can do this yourself by following my thread. In all honesty, his prices are good and if your happy for someone else to do this then no problems.. but i know how pinheads like to have a crack at anything and fix most things so I thought id just put it out there that the process is documented here for people to do. I couldn't possibly do a bulk order, ive got about 4 weeks worth of work in front of me for my business and anything pinball has taken a back step for now.
I would like to see the finished product though in the flesh.
Im currently working on a deal to have backglasses printed direct to glass here in Australia, unfortunately, the price in Aus compared to OS for this service is much much higher... but im working on it and hoping to be able to offer a few titles later down the track

Hi. Has there been any progress toward a bulk order on the backglasses. I'm still hoping to get an 'Ace High' backglass, as shown on this guy's website. Mark
