    There is a guy bringing 65 NOS bingo backglasses to Allentown. He will be at the Marco Specialties booth and says he will not be bringing any glass back with him.

    Titles are mostly late 60s games through 70s, but a couple of screen games. Mystic Lines glasses (Orient and Bamboo), Miss Universe, Bonanza, Lido, Safari, Miss America Deluxe, Ticker Tape, Stock Market, Venice, Miss America '75, Dixieland, Tahiti, Bahama Beach, Sea Island, Folies Bergeres, Hi-Flyer, Bonus-7.

    Primarily, I am posting this so others can get the glasses they need, especially Sea Island and Lido(!), but also the more unusual mystic lines games.

    Secondarily, I have a favor to ask - if anyone is going to Allentown, would you mind photographing Venice and Bonanza for me? Straight on, if possible? I have very un-clear images in the Multi (one I've touched up from a broken backglass) and would like to have sharper copies.

    Happy to discuss terms, please PM me if you have any thoughts on how I can repay you for your time in photo-ing, or if a purchase is required, I would obviously pay you for that. I, personally, don't need the physical glass, just photos of those two.

    These appear to be factory NOS - there is a closeup of the Orient glass on Facebook (Bingo Butch's group) that shows the mirroring.

    The others are inconclusive, but it stands to reason that they are all NOS and not repros.

    Bamboo is a bit mystifying, did Bally rename Orient? I always thought that was an aftermarket thing.

    He also has a glass I've never seen called Ticker Tape '74 (which is Wall Street with a different name). These seem like non-factory glasses, but others appear factory... perhaps a mix, or perhaps these are all factory glasses.

    Looking closer in that post, it looks like Mike bought a Sea Island and you can also see what appear to be mirrored effects (but you have to look very closely).

    I posted on the FB group to see if anyone has one for you. I'll let you know if anyone responds there.
