Nitro still available, had some flaking, you can see the tape caught it in time to save the art but it's not perfect.
Also have Bally Space Invaders infinity mirror glass in mint shape if anyone needs.

Quoted from EEE:

I just picked up a few translites and a couple of back glasses that will be listed in pinside market the next few days.
They are all very presentable. I’m not going to attempt any cleaning.

Will Shay be screening or printing these glasses?

Quoted from hoov:

This is kind of a reverse wanted backglass post.
Looking for any Blue Note owners who want to sign up for a silk screened backglass made by Shay Assad with a licensing agreement with Gottlieb LLC. Need 14 names to do a run. Pm me if you or someone with this game could use one. Thanks.....Dave

Dec, 1978

Quoted from hoov:

Hi John.
This run of Blue Note hopefully will be started sometimes in 2023 (we have 9 names now, need 5 more) and hopefully finished in about 6 mo's.
Yes, Shay told me Blue Note would be screened.
There was some talk of a seminar at the 2022 Chicago Expo where Shay said down the road he might have to change to direct ink printing at some point. I tried to watch that video on you tube but no matter which settings I changed on my phone and the you tube app, I couldn't get sound in the video.
Best to go to the horse's mouth and talk to Shay about any future glasses.
Thanks.......Dave

Here’s a side by side between the two methods, the fast draw is the printed version. Both are Shay reproductions. The game name font is different because the blue outline on quick draw is not translucent like it is on fast draw but there are noticeable differences in the vibrancy black line detail and opacity of the masked areas. It’s a step better than bgresto but I wouldn’t put it up there with the screened reproductions. Shay saw this picture and offered a replacement for fast draw but I don’t think this is a defective example rather a product of the materials and methods used.52E334F1-477B-4625-B395-BF2427A0B193 (resized).jpeg52E334F1-477B-4625-B395-BF2427A0B193 (resized).jpeg

Quoted from hoov:

I'd like to see a pic of the replacement he's offering up vs one on left before I can give an opinion. He's trying to make it good. I'd say work with him. I've gotten over 12 - 15 glasses over the years and never had a problem but a few folks have.

I too have bought probably 8 or 10 glasses from him. Always been good. Waiting on his reply from last communication.

Quoted from hoov:

Resend if you have to. He's a busy man. Curious to see the comparison.
Good luck.

It’s not horrible and if you had nothing to compare it to you would be none the wiser except the opaque layer is black but any deviation in favor of modern expediency is bound to have its cost. The expression they don’t make them like they used to applies..
