Hi guys,

I am after a Back glass to suit a Bally Playboy.

Let me know if you have one for sale, or know of any around.

Cheers Angelo

Thanks Tony for the link.

Do you think a back glass would make it from New York To Australia OK?

Angelo,

Might be worth sending a pm to Peter (gorgar1) Think he had a Gorgar backglass recently sent from Mayfair and had no issues.

Regards,
Tony

I've dealt with Mayfair - and they are very costly in the shipping area. Just to give you an idea ;

Pinball Glass US$250
Shipping US$350
Handling US$50

The standard answer is that he will not post to Australia - but he will - you just have to pay top $$$

The other alternative is to email CPR and ask if the backglass is being looked at for reproduction.

I had a glass shipped from a different seller, and insured it (including insuring the cost of the freight which was more than the glass, the extra cost to insure the freight was just a couple of dollars surprisingly). But it got here in one piece. They made a crate that was foam padded, I actually use it to store a couple of spare glasses now.

I recently enquired at Mayfair`s about a Playboy backglass, they had neither a NOS or used one available.

Didnt Peter have Wayne ship it from the US for him? I thought he had it sent to Wayne's store in US and then forwarded with a shipment of Wayne's to save costs?  I could be wrong maybe it was another member.

Hi Guys,

Just got an email back from Mayfair, no go from them.

Back on the hunt locally....

Anyone scanned one and made a new modern translite version?

Cheers Angelo

I just remembered Bumper had one a few weeks ago for sale for around $500.00, the description I got was that the glass had noticable sections of artwork missing/peeling. I was looking for a near mint one, may be ok if you don`t have one at all!
