1960 Williams Jungle Backglass - anyone need one?

I'll take one as soon as you send me your Jungle.

you can say that again,
but a very valuable shot at that,
increases the lower pop bumpers to score 100K

I think you mean "Anybody?"
Perhaps you could reach out to the other four pinsiders that show this game in their collection.

Needed one a few years ago, but I found a plexiglass replacement.

My WMS Jungle BG is in near perfect condition
so can not justify an upgrade.

There are still four others...

It's nice to have games of such rarity.

Maybe that guy that's been doing the old Willams glasses on plexi lately for "wall art" will do Jungle one of these days.

Haha.I feel the same way.love the cab style as I own a Bobo but it's not a Jungle.

Here is the BG on the Jungle I picked up a couple weeks ago. Needs a little touch up in the cloud but otherwise very nice. I am not sure that I would be interested in a repop.

It's the critters in the backbox

It's the critters in the backbox animation that always seem to be missing. Are you missing any, I can't tell for sure.

I have all the animals in the backbox. The only thing missing is the background "scenery". Playfield is real nice. Of course it needs a cabinet repaint.

Pleaee add my name to the list for a backglass.

BGresto.com has done the Jungle glass.

It's a really cool looking pinball machine with the backglass animation. One was available in the 90's locally for about $100 but I passed on it and bought a foto finish instead.

Well, it looks like your wish has been granted. Shay says he is going to produce "Jungle" as well as other Williams EM and early SS backglasses. I wish he would do "Skill Pool", "Space Ship", and "King Pin". Yeah, I know about the plexiglass "King Pin" and "Space Ship", but I think the quality of those fall short of a screened-on-glass repro.

There is hope after all! I thought old Williams machines would be left to make due with the faded peeling backglasses many of them have. Did he happen to mention another run of Rocket?

Looks like Shay is going to be busy.

I'm glad I didn't rush into buying one of those plastic ones. Maybe we talk that guy into making plastic end caps for our lockdown bars.

The plastic "Rocket" backglass is actually pretty good. But... it's the regular light blue background version. I spoke to Shay recently, and told him about the "Rocket" backglass I recently acquired in my game, which has a dark blue/purple background (much prettier IMHO). He wants me to send him some photos of it (which I have not yet done), so maybe he will make a repro of it.

I saw one of those plexi Sea Wolf glasses in person and it looked very well done. On the pics of the Wonderland he did it looked like some of the colors were off. Given a choice I would always spend a little more and go with Shay.

I didn't get a "Wonderland" or "Space Ship", but I got all the others. Yeah, "Sea Wolf" is pretty good too. "Space Ship" looks like crap, but I didn't see an actual one, only pictures. I may get a chance to see one for real on Friday. "King Pin" is pretty good, except that the purple background around the bowling pins just doesn't have the same color intensity and depth of the original, and he made the light-up "one" for the one thousand score in black. This makes it look like you always have over one thousand points. But of course, it's way better than a flaky or non-existent glass.

Wow, that glass looks great. I wish Shay would update his website.
