Is there anything that can be done to get rid of bubbling in a translight? A few of my games have what looks to be bubbles in them almost like the translight is pulled away from the glass some. I tried removing the one translight and it almost seemed like it was glued onto the glass. I am afraid of cracking it or it breaking so I didn't go any further
If you are talking about a backglass, no fixing that. If you mean translight, remove it from the glass, clean and dry both and reassemble and you should be good.
Be very carefull if translite is stuck to glass. I have had the artwork stay stuck to the glass , as the translite is removed....

I 2nd this caution on translate artwork.
Had it happen on Williams Jokerz & Capcom Breakshot. (thankfully, both were locations were the trim/channel is, and not visible)
But regular backglass... once that bubbles... some folks have posted about hypodermic needles with superglue and flattening.
Good luck.
