My Frontier project is missing the backbox hinges, this is the same type as my Flash Gordon on the picture and not the later run Fathom type. Thanks!

For FG any commercial hinge will work. It’s a standard hinge. eBay will have many

They are just flat standard hinges. The later ones like fathom and centaur are the ones hard to find

I'm looking for them too and these are not exactly correct but are nice. You can either alter the hole pattern or drill your own holes to match. I think this is what I'm going to do.

Thoughts?

ohhh those looks nice, i'll order a few and try it out. Looks like the screws on my FG are different size, 5/8" unto the head and 3/4" in the cabinet.

Either one of these should work great. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08VD9FR13/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_NN95FKVAFMDWY77XFP9R

The hinge is not deep enough, the screws will intersect the 45 degree cut and not enough meat so will rip out the wood.

Ask how I know.

Been there, tried it.

Worst case scenario would be to get longer screws and maybe shim the hinge if needed. Once the head is up and bolted it does almost nothing.

I printed out the PDF from Guden and the outside two holes line up on the 3 hole one I linked. Just the one center hole is different and would need to be re-drilled into the cabinet / backbox. The old holes will be covered up so no big. That's what I ordered. One RH and one LH. I think it's the best option I've come across.

The screws stick out the overhang over the playfield glass.
