OP
Quoted from Darcy:
Have had this Blue Note for some time. Bought it with the worn out backglass, and since there were only 226 of these made, had figured out that a NOS back glass would be a tough find. Here are some photos of before and after.
Worn out backglass with peeling and missing art work.

The backside with tape and possibly some clear coat.

The new backglass from Steve at Mayfair Amusements in NYC. Steve sent some photos of the slightly worn off back silvering. Looked great to me as it is a 100% improvement from what I had. Could not be happier with the replacement.

Very nice. I tried to contact them this morning after seeing this to ask if they might have a backglass for my Flip a Card since the one I have had been horribly touched up by a previous owner.

Haven’t heard anything back from them yet. Just wondering if it took awhile for them to respond to you. Hopefully they have one.

You can get an excellent repro here.

Thanks Mike. I was getting ready to ask about them on here after coming across their website. I wasn’t sure if they were still in business or if anyone had bought from them before.

They have produced my backglass before so it sounds like it would be in the $175-250 range plus shipping I guess.

Quoted from jrpinball:
Mayfair? No. I doubt he has "Flip A Card".

He doesn’t. And no answer from BGResto on a reproduction estimate.

Oh well, it doesn’t look that bad.

But he had a ‘Blue Note’?

1800>226.

Quoted from pinwiztom:
Blue Note is a game no one has, so Mayfair's NOStock of BGs for rare less demand games is probably greater than higher demand more common games.

Thanks for that info. I forget the demand for backglasses is high. FWIW I haven’t had any luck with getting BGResto to respond to my emails.

Here’s what I’m dealing with. A horrible touchup by some previous owner that makes it look like a serial killer broke into the girl’s dorm room and shotgunned them. Creepy as hell but I can always live with it:

Quoted from MikeO:
If you submitted an email to Steve outlining what you want but he has not responded - be patient. He will get back to you.
Once he gets back to you and you send payment the same advice will apply - be patient.
He provides a quality product.

That’s good to know. I’m in no hurry.

Heard back from Stephen just now. Looking forward to doing business with him as soon as I recover from tax day today.

Thanks for the suggestion.
