I just picked up a Gottlieb Volcano & the back glass is shot. Pealing and needs to be replaced. The one I picked up has green overlay on all the score windows and the credit window. When I look at videos out there I see some have the more traditional blue on those windows. Which color was original?

Quoted from Green5:

Which color was original?

I have a Volcano with good original back-glass, except for one spot. The windows are absolutely tinted green. When holding pure green next to it, you can tell it might contain a touch of blue/teal... very small amount. However if you hold blue next to it, it looks very green.

It might look like blue/cyan in photos from the front, but that's coming from the Futaba display. It's mostly green.

That is what I thought, Thanks for the pictures. Picked up a reproduced back glass.

Somebody really needs to remake this backglass. Volcano is a great game and lots of people could use one. I know I could.

I bought both of these volcano back glasses reproduced by Pinballbackglass80 on instagram. They came out pretty darn good. Green was used for the score windows and it looks pretty good.
