Wms Time Warp backglass??
« on: February 19, 2011, 06:46:47 PM »
Hi guys, a mate of mine just picked up a Time Warp pin, and im just enquiring on his behalf if anyone has a backglass for Time Warp?? i know it a bit of a longshot asking, but his back glass in his game is a bit ordinary, some one has sprayed red paint over the back of it and made a mess!! Just thought i'd ask for him, before trying to save his own glass..

Cheers...Mitch

My brother asked on here a while back with no luck it seems most of them are shit to shit.    If you do decide to weave your magic on it I can send my brothers and double tour work load lol

Pretty rare item, mine is decent but like all of that era seem to suffer a lot. I know Pinball Factory had one for sale a while back, was pretty poor condition too though.

Thanks anyway guys.. kinda knew it would be a longshot, but worth a try. My mate who owns the Time Warp wants to have a go at repairing it himself, with advice from me if he cant find a better one, so i will be guiding him through the process if he decides to do it himself. He may soon sign up here as a member, Howzat and myself have been encouraging him to join AP.

If he has problems with trying restoring it he may ask me to do the work. Too bad i didnt get any pics, but if he joins AP he can post some pics... If you remember my Stern Dracula bg with the red sprayed on everywhere when i got it... its WORSE than that was!! it really is NASTY with red sprayed straight over YELLOW of all things  ^&^

I've told Phil (the owner of the TW in question) i think it could definitely be improved over its current condition using the same tricks i used on my Drac bg.

Everyone I've seen is crap wonder why? Mine from the front looks OK but from behind its had a heap of work and I reckon they have done a good job.

Wish they made a repo.

Your backglass is the best I've ever seen, and I recall the backside of it had a fair bit of work done to it. Looked ugly from behind, but looked very good from the front.

The TW really suffered for some reason. This would be a great title to repro.

It is Nino from the front its great-must have been a very skilled person who did the touchups as theres a ton of work done on the back and I'm thankful for there patience.
