Hey everybody. Recently bought my first pinball and it needs a little work. I'm pretty handy so thus far it has gone well. I could use some help with a measurement though. The game is a Bally/Midway Escape From The Lost World. The backglass is missing, but I have the translite. Any owners of this game have an exact glass measurement for me to cut?

I'll post it when I get home and have a chance to measure mine, if no-one else answers first.

How's the game? Good condition? Have you had a chance to really play it yet?

Thanks Rca. Its not in too bad of shape. It was complete with the exception of the backglass and MPU. I ordered the MPU and I'm having the power and sound boards shopped out right now. Other than that it was just neglected. Ive been giving it a thorough once over and learning quite a lot. The only other big thing I have to do is rebuild the flippers. So yeah, I wasn't able to play it yet, but I do remember playing it when I was younger. This game gets a bad rap, but it seems like everybody that owns one loves it. Good start for my collection. I played a lot of pinball when I was younger, but this is my very first owned machine. If you could check the thickness of the glass I would appreciate it too.

Hope you get to play soon. Its a one shot game, going for escape, but a great shot.

Glass is 26 1/4 x 24 5/8. About 1/4 bigger than the translite all the way around. Glass appears to be 1/8 thick. Get tempered glass, better safe than sorry!

Thanks again! I appreciate all the help.
