Shouldn't matter with the backbix relay board latched into place. That is the standard Gottlieb design for all of the 60's and 70's EM games.
It looks like you are concerned the glass will slip down into that slot in the bottom of the head. I've never had an issue with that. I'd be more concerned that the blocks you applied will get in the way should you need to remove the backglass.
Thanks for the reply.
I had not encountered this issue before.
The wood blocks come right out. I used them primarily to prevent the glass from slipping in to that groove.
The concern is the mech board fighting with the wood blocks
I will not be replacing the foam so I wanted the glass to sit still, and not rattle.
lots of work on this pin, but lookin good
If you are concerned about contact between the relay board and the rear of the backglass, I scrape the deteriorated foam from the relay board and replace it with thin felt pads. I adhere the felt pads to the relay board with double sided scotch tape. That way the glass is held in snug and won't rattle. If you take the pads out entirely and don't replace them you may be creating a rattle condition.
Quoted from pinhead52:Yes,the blocks at the bottom will interfere with the backboard...
sure did. and was real fun reachin in there to remove them.
took them out, and all is gud! thanks.

What I use is Velcro fuzzy side, comes on a big roll and has adhesive...
