I'm starting to think your goldeneye is beyond jinxed Doozie.. dang!
in another recent thread about "hack of the day faking plastics", might be a good way for temp fix or keeping it good and playable at least, make the parts from some thick clear lexan, print the graphics and spray adhesive them to the undersides of the new lexan parts.. workable right now, or if done cleanly enough maybe call it art?

Quoted from Edenecho:

I am getting Goldeneye 007 as my first pinball machine this Saturday, really looking forward to it!Also, was me who bought the plastics off ebay, as some on my machine is broken.
Is this a common "issue" with Goldeneye, weak plastics, or just usual wear due to much playing?

idk for sure, it might be with time and temp changes (maybe light too?) plexi starts losing flexibility to become brittle. if parts are crazy rare expensive unavailable, I dont see any real why not making new and tougher than original, only exception being the insistent purist who'd rather leave it covered up in the garage never EVER driving it..

to just make em, it might take some time playing with brightness contrast hue saturation and different kinds of paper in a printer to get really close to "right". time is money too really, and if it looks good and aint gonna break again..

excellent idea Doozie, and yup, new lexan sheet isnt real cheap, I collect bits when I find em.
