Planetary has silkscreened backglasses, if you are looking for a brand new one.
They're pretty nice. I really like mine.

You might check out Coos as well. I'm pretty sure he has done Blackout and it will be top notch. His might be more expensive but I'm not sure. I also don't know the difference in shipping cost of Netherlands vs US to where you are.

I picked up a blackout, and now I’m able to join the club and I’m excited!!!
I had a question that maybe I just don’t get it but I ordered a flipper rebuild kit and I got a 1979 kit even though the game was made in 1980 does it still take that older style kit?
That’s what I got from PBR and I was just curious on that?
Thanks in advance

You should have firepower style rebuilt kit.
Call PBR.
Gorgar is still the old EM style.

So I had Steve at Pinball resource send me the right coils and the correct flipper rebuild kit, and I started rebuilding the flippers. I noticed something interesting that they came with capacitors and also when I replaced one side, the left, I believe that the eos doesn’t open but the flipper still has full strength.

I wouldn't trade my Blackout for anything but a Firepower. But following up a big hit like FP was impossible, they threw everything at this machine and it wasn't even close. Just an opinion. The reason? Not so much the layout but the lack of multi-ball and a mediocre sound package. The explosions on FP are thrilling! Getting "Blackout" should have had a grander sound and lightshow reward, even though blacking out was the point. Would love to retool the sound package.

I have owned both... Blackout is the superior game in my opinion.

Firepower lasted a month, Blackout still here and played weekly after years of ownership.

Really?! As far as boredom? That's cool. If I can find one under a billion dollars I'd like to add it to the lineup.

Anyone have a spare knocker assembly (bracket, coil, plunger, etc) for Blackout or probably any other system 6 game? Mine is completely missing so looking to get one back in the cabinet. Thanks!
