Darned if I didn't get another Skill Roll - guess they're on a roll. Thanks to Dave for the tip-off, and to Alex for the pickup assist! This one will be an upgrade, but between the two I can make one nicer one and then have one to trade or sell.

Too bad repro glasses aren't available though.

Nice pick up - I love this game!

I thought I remembered seeing Clay or someone in MI was selling repro glasses on rgp at one point - are those no longer available?

I believe Clay's silkscreen versions have all been sold.

Good to see you again Dirt. Thanks again for everything. Looking forward to setting up Teacher's Pet.

Clay said he was out of them.

What about BGresto? I bet they could do it!

I believe they have done it before, and that's probably the best option at the moment. I do wonder about going down the path of getting a silk screen repro made though. There has to be some pretty good demand for them still, and the design of the cab is such that the original glasses are pretty much guaranteed to get scratched.

Nicely done Dirtflipper.

No, that one's still available, AFAIK:

Congrats on finding another! This one looks a lot better than your first one. Nice cabinet on this one. Good luck with a glass. Mine is only fair, they seem to all flake from the flourescent lamp? But I never felt it was bad enough to replace.

That is an addictive game to play. I really want one but they do not show up often in Texas... A friend of mine has one in his collection that I usually play every time I get the chance...

Since 4/5th's of it is plain glass I wish someone would print it on film. That way you could ship them rolled up in a cardboard tube and install it yourself instead of dealing with the expense of packing and shipping something that large and fragile.

The 'Game of Skill' thing is on the playfield, not the glass.

There aren't any top part repros available that I can find.

Big Al at Pinball Warehouse has the art file to print if you want. A guy could easily do a vinyl reversed decal.

Glad it worked out.
