Quoted from Shogun00:The manufacturers use translites and not silk screens like CPR does.
Some Stern LE's with mirroring are clearly backglasses.
Quoted from illudiumQ36:How long did it take before the bubbles appeared, or were they already there when you opened it ? I'm wondering if the shipping temps might be to blame? If it goes from a warm factory, to a cold truck, to a cold airport warehouse, to a cold container loaded onto a pressurized, but cold cargo hold on a jet flight for 20+ hours, and then to a warmer climate where you live - could that be affecting it? At any rate, you should have been refunded fully. The pinball world isn't that big, and bad press like this will spread like wildfire.
Regardless factory backglasses make it 40-50 years if not longer without issue in far worse conditions.
Quoted from illudiumQ36:True - but those were silkscreened. I'm thinking it's possible that the inkjet glasses aren't happy with cold shipping. Who knows. I have three inkjet backglasses and will keep an eye on them in the coming years.
Not happy in shipping. Not happy in hot room. not happy in cold room. not happy in dry room.
What good are they?
At a minimum regardless of how they are made they should be at least as durable as the ones being replaced.
Quoted from EJS:I wonder if you could use a VUK horseshoe switch and mount it 90° clockwise compared to the normal rollover switch to satisfy the switch need. That way you don’t have to cut into the wood and risk damaging the clear.
I looked on CPRs site…I’d imagine they all shipped like that.
A small Dremal with a routing bit and the jig has produced good results. Do a board search for someone who had a Whirlwind with the same issue and that's how it was "fixed."
It looked great when they were done.
