Last Look for a Gorgar Backglass before I order one from USA
« on: July 17, 2009, 07:37:38 PM »
As the dollar is rising nicely above 80c again, I am thinking it will be time to order a new Gorgar backglass from Mayfair. Just before I do, I am checking if anyone has one for sale in Australia or NZ that is in good to excellent condition. If so please let me know with some photos.

Cheers

Best of luck having it shipped to Australia - it will cost more than the glass !

Organize the glass to be sent to IPB and shipped in one of the 500 containers PSP is bringing in.

The price is $250 USD plus freight plus crome strip etc. All up to Mark C's container is $300 USD / .8 = $375.
This is brand new and origional not repro. Also the later version that does not flake as much... so I am told...

What can you do?

Buy it.

A reproduction backglass makes a game come to life. I buy reproduction everytime possible and don't regret it at all.

Also if the Gorgar glass is no longer reproduced you will be in for a long wait until somebody does it again and you will then kick yourself for not buying it

I got one from Mayfair 8 months ago and it's a beauty-It's even sealed so should last for years..

I ordered mine this morning (our time).
Really looking forward to getting it home.

If it's near as good as the other one I saw on AP I will be wrapped.

Hey DDToys if you are going to do it now is the time at .8431 AUD/USD !

It's pretty serious money for a piece of glass  *%*

Take my word once it arrives and you put it in your game you will be stoked with every cent you have just spent  ^^^ ^^^ ^^^

Nothing makes a game come alive with a new/reproduction backglass....I've just ordered my 6th and if I coul buy new/reproduction/N.O.S. for the rest I would

I agree Tony . I have just bought a NOS backglass for my Williams Lucky 7 pin that Mark C so kindly shipped over for me in container #2 ...

 #*# #*# #*#  BIG thanks to Mark for doing this !!  #*# #*# #*#

The one in it has been touched up a bit and doesn't look toooo bad but a NOS one is going to make it look awesome.

A new glass also would have to lift the re-sale value of any older pins too ..

When you get that new/reproduction/N.O.S. backglass and you are handling it for the first time while it's being installed in your game is a real test on the heart.....you hear the horror stories  @.@

This is like waiting for the second comming of ...

Talk about extreme patience. I ordered in August 2009.

Marc C diddnt have a container due at the needed time so unfortunately no go through our traditional channels.

Next option was Wayne G and he has sorted for me which I appreciated.

Lot of following up but anyway... perhaps I was overly excited!

My Gorgar backglass was sent from Mr pinball yesterday on route to the Hunter Valley.

Wayne said he had a quick look and all appeared good. ie no broken glass in the corner of the package.
I think tommorow will be the day??

So bloody excited!

let's see what we get???

J.D.  :D   :D (((   !*!   @@*   $#$   $#$   $#$

Jyebow, must be time for an even greater Gorgar experience shortly!


J.D.

I have advanced the home brew capex too! More dumb questions in line!!!
