I've PM'ed the original poster with no luck a year ago - just like many of you. But here's another idea....

The original backglass is butt-ugly anyway. About 4 months ago, I started searching out an artist or existing art to create an alternative backglass. Tricky because of score displays and other backlit information which will likely be lost. But - something is better than nothing in this case. And some of the jungle themed art I found on deviantart was amazing.

If the artwork is really nice, most of us will forgive things like a missing Shoot Again area. Just an idea - and I would prefer to see someone else do it anyway. But ... I'm tired of waiting. I need a push on this. Does anyone have a template with score displays in their proper places? I don't even have a portion of a Jungle Lord backglass to get dimensions.

I don't think that's an option for everyone. I can think of several ...
1. The DIY'er who is into pinball and has several machines because they have $$$ from fixing and/or making their own stuff, not always paying someone else for parts.
2. The person who doesn't have a glass at all thus doesn't have anything for them to restore. (Don't they require an orig?)
3. The person who has a JL in bad condition, resell value doesn't justify the expense.
4. You are me, think JL has a top 10 ugliest BG of all time, and just need a template for the score windows to turn over to a college art student.

I think it's funny that you suggested the idea of cheapskate - really, I laughed ... but in my 20 years of collecting and restoring, me being a 'cheapskate' has allowed me to increase my collection and place pinball in people's homes for prices below most. I love to see people learn how to do things too - so they can increase that collective knowledge base in the pinball community.
