Black Knight
Williams, 1980How do I tell if my spare Black Knight back glass is original or repro?
When I purchased the game several years ago, the seller included a new extra playfield and a new extra backglass.
I know the extra play field is a CPR, and have seen where Mayfair made repro backglasses.
At this point I'm assuming the extra backglass is more than likely repro, but how do I tell for sure?

To add another wrinkle to the mystery, the spare glass could also be an Alan Meyer repro as well. Alan had repro's made of several of the classic Williams titles in the early 2000's. Maybe if you called Mayfair they might be able to give you some clues as to tell exactly.
If you gave a repro glass from Mayfair, the back should be white, not grey. I shouldnt say repro either, the backglasses that Steve has at Mayfair are re runs from the Williams company they did in the early 90's i believe. He bought the entire inventory from them. They are awesome backglasses that look better than the first ones they did.
