If anyone would like a super nice top glass for the big ball bowler United Frolics, I have one languishing as a wall hanger, which sort of saddens me every time I look at it, as I feel it's a shame it not being in a game.
Quoted from Gamemodder:Just out of curiosity, Would anyone sell a stranger things le backglass?
Good luck. You’d be lucky to even get a replacement from Stern if you broke one.

Quoted from Apinjunkie:Looking for the outer back glass for a Mars God of war. Help a brother out.
Ask to tnt amusement, they seem to get it.

Thanks for the heads up, turns out they have one but are not willing to ship. Todd says they're out of shipping the back glass shipping business entirely. The hunt continues.
Up for sale are backglasses and one translite:
United Pinnacle - has wear, but not horrible horrible.
United Twin Cities - same
Bally Star Trek - in really good shape. There's one little wear spot at the top, but I don't see any flaking or peeling.
Star Trek translite - meh. Spock has a bunch of facial scratches around his nose. Might make for a good wall art. Comes with the glass.
Eight Ball Deluxe - pretty decent shape, but does have a few spots of paint damage.
Meteor - lots of orange paint missing. This would be a wall art candidate, imo, unless yours is really bad.
Dolly - poor Dolly looks like she has a skin disease, or more like she's wearing a cheetah print. The paint lifted, probably a reaction to being sealed, dunno?
Buy singles or buy them all. Make me an offer and we'll discuss !
No shipping. Local pickup in Northern Virginia. I'm not too far off of I-81, Winchester area.

I really love the pic of the boobs in close- up…unless there was a flaw to notice?

No buddy close to TNT that can pick up and ship to you?
Quoted from colonel_caverne:No buddy close to TNT that can pick up and ship to you?
Unfortunately I do not. 
However, I may be able to find a pack and ship service local to them that's willing to pick it up. It's worth looking into anyway. Thanks for the poke.
Quoted from Gatecrasher:Are they all free or what?
If you're referencing me, no they are not free. The ad says make me an offer. Buy one or all. Thanks.

I spoke to Mayfair and they did not have one in stock, and emailed SAG yesterday to find out price and when it will be available but so far no response.

"coming soon" is more likely in 2023.
I had already asked them for Genie, that was their reply.
why wouldn't you send your own box to Todd?

This condition is caused be being in close proximity to humidity.
eg. being in a closed garage with the clothes dryer on...
---- The glass expands and stretches the ink then the glass contracts as it cools.
---- I have seen many pinball backglass destroyed be having the games next to the
---- clothes washer and dryers.

it is said that backglasses are very sensitive to humidity, to temperature differences, what is the ideal temperature range for the gameroom, during winter in particular?

The most important factor is temperature variation. Any constant temperature and humidity level that is comfortable for humans. 73° F, 40% relative humidity would be fine.

Quoted from Budman:Looking for a nice original North Star back glass. Second choice; Ron Webb repro.
Thirdly a translite?
I've re-done that one in the past.
Anyone have a Flipper Parade Backglass. Either really good or extremely bad or in pieces that you want to get rid of for a couple bucks? The reason is my friend got the machine with NO Backglass so BGResto won’t make one unless there’s proof of a Backglass in any condition to cover for the Gottlieb F’n copyright.
Quoted from Catch86:BGResto won’t make one unless there’s proof of a Backglass in any condition to cover for the Gottlieb F’n copyright.
That’s what’s posted on his website, but I don’t think he’s updated his site in a long time. Try emailing him.

you just have 'certify' that the backglass got destroyed. he accepted an email stating so.
Quoted from jazc4:Anyone have a Funhouse backglass for sale? Maybe someone that went to Rudy 2.0?

Thanks Billy. I'm hoping to find an original as I ruined a friend's original backglass on accident during restoration. CPR will be last resort.
