Stingray is actually a backglass.  You'll have a hard time finding an excellent one detached from a machine in this country.  You'll have better luck in the USA.

i found it pretty hard to get a hold of a pinbot translite a few months ago.
first one i got was a repro and it was crap, i had to send it back. the second one was a second hand one and it was ok, not perfect but pretty good.
they do come up on ebay from time to time.
good luck with finding one.

I have been searching the net but to no avail. I have found sourcing from the USA to be very good indeed, most parts are available but not these. I'm in for the long haul though.

i had to inport both of the translights i bought, fortunately the guy i bought the repro one off refunded my money including the postage he charged to send it over.
the one i kept came from Romania.

I have sent an email to the fellow i bought the secondhand one from to see if he has any contacts with a pinbot translite.
i dont like the chances but it is worth trying anyway.

Hi Dave . For the Stingray backglass try Mayfair Amusements in the U.S . They have a heap of NOS backglasses . They don't list them all on their website though so it pays to ask if they have what you need .

Mayfair amusements have a stingray but in very poor condition, out of luck for the moment.
