WHERE TO BUY BACKGLASS'S FROM ?

[Caveoftreasures]

Beaky (andrew) has his Black Knight 2000.

I finally unpacked mine today. I bought it from mark c like beaky did.

WE BOTH WANT TO PURCHASE NEW BACK GLASSES.
 
QUESTION PLEASE GUYS.

WHO IS THE BEST TO BUY THEM FROM ? who is the most reliable. marco specialties have stock but say they will not send overseas. wtf ?

Can anyone reccommend who is the best supplier in the USA to get backglasses from.  
any personal experiences would be well welcomed.

thanks in advance backglass hunters. lol

You could try buying from marco and shipping to IPB and get Mark to ship it maybe? Or get a US friend to onship it for you.

Try these guys ;

They will deter you with a MASSIVE shipping price to Australia.

i cant see them on there with mayfair but will email them.
 
i might ask mark c to get me 2 x of them n pay him first etc.

They can send two in a box - from memory

how about using that USA > Aust purchasing service that will take care of it for you and charge a reasonable percentage of the total for thier service?.  I cant remember the name of the website.

I used this company http://www.priceusa.com.au/  to buy & send me some screws - No problems at all and their commission is quite reasonable.
Waiting on a tax refund then I will get them to organise a backglass from USA (Supplier wont ship overseas)

thanks mark.

the backglass looked perfect until i said to beaky "hey, is that flaking paint there", and then i touched it stupidly, then bits n pieces fell off.
Doh, i shouldnt have touched that i said next.

Andrew smiled and said "idiot".
No big deal. Its a 1989 machine. You cant expect everything to be perfect.
I am very happy with the BK2000. It will clean up real well and it started straight up, everything works. For a "as is" container pin, it is a gem.

A BIG THANKS TO MARK FOR THE LAYBY AND AS USUAL FOR BEING A TOP BLOKE.     

(but if i can buy a new backglass i certainly will. the brand new decals and new backglass will look perfect together)

Greg at RTBB has heaps of stuff sent to us all the time from Marco and we ship it to him along with our shipments.  The biggest factor with backglass is of course the fragile factor but also it requires double/triple packing.  With the size restrictions on basic shipments it can be difficult to ship the glass properly and still fall in the size restrictions.  At least with BK2K the glass is a bit smaller.  Be aware that shipping for the glass may be as much as $150usd depending on the final weight.

marco spec said $175 to ship 2 x glasses together. then said we wont send o/seas.
the website said that, not a person. i will ring them and see what they say, otherwise i will contact u pinballace.

Hey caveman when u remove the back glass make sure u dont touch the paint on it.

The sad thing is i saw the cracked paint on the back glass through the neck when we where moving the pin (sorry), i didn't want to mention it to u. I didnt want to knock u out of your   state plus I didn't think that U would have touched it.

But like the guys that where around that fellow who was walking on top of that train in india i should have warned u that if u touch it bad things will happen. you know what i mean don't u caveman
(this is a personal joke between the caveman and myself to all the people who don't know what the hell i am on about)

Only experience I've had is getting one from Mayfair ( Nino posted the link in an earlier post ) . They have a lot more glasses than they list on their site so it pays to ask .

As for postage to Australia I'm not sure if they do or not . I was lucky enough when I got mine to have it sent to Illinois Pinball and a local Aussie dealer shipped it over for me ..
