This question has been bugging me for a while: I was going to take out the translite on my Big Bang Bar to have it autographed, but found out that it is a backglass. Don't most of the BBBs have translites? How many of you have the backglass?

man that is odd... mine's IPB repro #148 and definitely a translite. and all the other capcom games used translites too.

come to think of it, I picked up a spare BBB translite for grins a couple years at expo so i would have to imagine most were translites

where'd you get your BBB from?

My BBB was the second to last one made (XXP 12). I believe that 13 extra parts games were made.

Check again, there have never been any BBB backglasses. Gene bought Capcom translites from Mike Pacak to build the games.

I have a translite for mine (+ a spare). As far as I know, there aren't any backglasses, even on the prototypes. I have #21 but was told it was around the 40th "repro" made.

Oops, You're right Lloyd. I misremembered which game had the backglass and not a translite. I guess I lost a few too many grey cells in college.
