Superman
Atari, 1979Does anybody know a good place to find Atari parts? I have a project Superman Im currently working on, all the boards are super clean and same with playfield, just need a couple odds and ends. I know parts are hard to find so I was hoping maybe someone who had one torn down/ parting it out, would be able help lead me in the right direction. Thanks in advance.

Looked on their website and they currently have nothing in stock, also sent an email asking if he had anything. Was really hoping he had a backglass, pretty much had every Atari backglass but a Superman

Give him a call and ask him what he's got. Typically, he has many more things than what is shown on his website.

Hahaha tried buying his backglass off him for 300$, half the price hes selling his entire machine for and he wouldn't do it.

In mint condition, that backglass sometimes fetches almost double that.

Yeah I know there is one on ebay right now that is up to 500$. Dont need need one that is mint, something is better than nothing
I'm on the fence about making a run for that backglass on eBay. If I end up with it, I'll most definitely be parting with mine to offset the cost. Mine is probably a 6 or 7/10 with minor flaking on the Superman text and towards the copyright on the bottom that isn't noticeable.
What parts are you looking for? If they aren't specific to Superman, you might have some luck with Gen 1 parts.

Hahahaha im also on the fence for bidding on ebay backglass, but like I said I dont NEED a mint condition glass, right now I have nothing. If you pick up ebay one would you sell me yours? Send me some pics my email is [email protected]. As far as other parts I was only looking for pop bumper caps and I found some today.
Quoted from jasonp:Im looking for the atari pop bumper caps ????????
I may be able to get some for you, I will see if he has anymore.

I'm trying to convince myself I don't NEED it either. The shipping cost is probably the biggest deal breaker for me but there's no way to avoid that. If I end up with the one on eBay, we can work out a deal. Here's a link to photos: https://1drv.ms/f/s!AhhBUDJmk7WekocUEDBa8BL_bk1raQ
Quoted from indy5mike:What about sending your glass to BGResto? The work they have done for me is great.
They don't do mirrored inks, unfortunately. They print mirroring as gray.

Thats fine, they sent me a copy of what they print and it looks pretty good, better than not having a back glass.
Quoted from jasonp:Thanks .........
Flippers.com has the pop bumper caps you are looking for.
