Quoted from BrewNinja:http://shayarcadegroup.com/ was making some new ones, no idea if they are ready or not. You could contact them and find out.
Thanks! Believe me, I've tried to contact them. No response from the emails I've sent them. If nothing else pans out, I'll just keep trying I guess.
Quoted from Timmo:Is this what you are looking for?
Black Hole Infinity Glass in MA

Not sure, I'm thinking that is referring to the outer glass and the killer, no shipping.
I'll contact them though, just in case. Thanks!
Quoted from RWH:Have you tried Mayfair amusement? I know they have early Gottlieb as I got A NOS BG for my star race from them. Better to just contact them by email and order.
Yeah, I did contact Mayfair. They do not have one unfortunately. They do have an outer glass that's in nice shape though if anyone is looking.

Another outer glass. 
I'm sure something will work out eventually...
Thanks for trying everyone! Much appreciated
Quoted from BrewNinja:Ive never seen anyone specifically talk about protecting the BH backglass, so you probably wont find much. Sorry.
Maybe that's why I can't find one. 
Quoted from play_pinball:I'm aware of and have used Triple Thick on other glasses. I searched specifically for Black Hole since it has the big round blankness in the middle and the blue windows. Wasn't sure if there was a strategy to do it "correctly".
Could you just mask off the clear areas before spraying? Use something low tack especially on the blue film windows.
That or try spraying a piece of clear glass to see how it looks before attempting on the BG.
Definitely don't want to ruin it. Apparently they're hard to come by

Quoted from Gotpins:I was wondering if a good soul in here may have some used plastics left over from a restoration that would be good enough for this Frankensteined players condition black hole that has been saved from the scrap pile. If so, please pm me, as anything would be better than nothing and this game is not worthy of brand new. My goal is to make it complete and playable. Thanks!
I have most of the upper playfield plastics in fair shape if you still need them. Missing the left side sling plastic, but should have it somewhere. They're yellowed, dirty, scratched and one has a decent sized crack. No lower plastics since they were in decent shape and I'll be reusing them. Lmk if you're interested

Quoted from bluespin:Shay added this title and a few others to their "coming soon" list three years ago. He doesn't respond to multiple emails and voicemails that I and others have left for him.
This company prints a film, similar to BgResto method. From what I've heard they then mail you the film. You scrape off the original artwork and adhere the film to your backglass?

I've been looking for over 4 years for any type of replacement. Still no luck.
Unless coos has changed things he can't do a film for black hole but can make a glass. I believe it's due to the mirroring on it. Shipping killed it for me but I may have to reconsider. I'm still hoping that Shay pulls thru and produces some.

The Pascal board also gives you the option of '7 digit like' scoring on 6 digit displays. It'll flash your current/high score above 999,999 sequentially. No need for 7 digit displays unless wanted.
Like this

Also my high score so far, 3 ball.

Quoted from Chalkey:What's the best place to get replacements for the two huge power capacitors in the cab? BDE is out of stock.
Digikey has a good selection of snap style capacitors for cheaper. Could just solder them in instead I'd think. Just make sure voltage rating is high enough and it has a similar size diameter if you want the original clamps to hold them in place.
