Anybody ever heard of this outfit? It all sounds like BS to me.

Ok. I must confess. I called the number on the web page. Three times. On the third call I was given the local franchise's phone number and after a couple of calls the local sent out a "technician". Yes, I was told that they could hire a painter to paint me a Stern Big Game back glass. I pretty much called BS to that, but figured while he was here maybe they could make me an invisible play field glass ( PDI will only sell me a a PDI glass for Big Game if I buy 5 pieces of glass. BG is special size). So I asked if they could make me a anti-glare, anti-reflective play field glass for my BG. Nothing to lose by asking.

He said "yes", we can make you one of those. The office will call you with a quote tomorrow. And he also said installation would be $284.00. I said installation is a 30 second job.

I have never gotten a quote. I know I never will.

But I am chapped that Glass Doctor would even put up a web page that sure sounds like they know what they are talking about when it is all just BS.

So, everybody, go call Glass Doctor's number----1-855-603-1919 ---just for fun. Maybe they will take down this hokey web page if enough people call to see about getting a pinball back glass.

That is what he said. Maybe has was trying to figure out how to turn lemons into lemonade. As I said, it was all BS.

But he was just going his job, I suppose. He was a nice guy.

I told him that $284.00 would be a nice price for anti-reflective, anti-glare play field glass but that $284.00 to install a play field glass was out of the question.

The guy and I were standing next to my Big Game. He touched the back glass. And he said they would hire a painter to paint me one. And while he kept a very serious look on his face (and it actually looked to me like he believed what he was saying ) it was at point in our conversation that I knew I was dealing with BS. That's all I can tell you.

He drove up in a company truck. There is a Glass Doctor franchise in town. And I called them. Twice. They never called me. No police report is necessary here.

I also had a furnace repair guy in my house yesterday. He is a local contractor for a major furnace manufacturer firm. He saw my pins and said he had a Six Million Dollar Man pinball. He played one of my pins and we had a jolly good conversation. I don't feel threatened.

All the same, I can understand where you are coming from and it never hurts to be reminded that one needs to be wary when strangers enter the house.

I found out their contact info.

I sent them an inquiry asking them something along the lines of questioning the legitimacy of their website about back glasses. I said quite a few pinball machine owners were sort of scratching their heads. Actually, I don't remember exactly what I said, but since I am retired and not looking for any job, I can pretty much ask a question in any manner tat I like

I linked this webpage in my "contact us" text.

Try faxing them something if you can. When I was a buyer my co-workers and I lived on the fax machine communicating with our supplier contacts. We had a vendor's fax number that we communicated with a lot. It was an easy number to mis-dial by one digit. One poor guy had the number that always got called if we dialed incorrectly. So, as we were faxing he is picking up the phone and cussing "us" out telling us to quit calling him; That we had the wrong number.

I felt sorry for the guy but at the same time it was quite funny. That poor dude taught me a few new profane words as he was cussing out our fax machine.

Try to fax them something about pinball back glasses. Do it
