The translite on my Road Show has a few scratches in the lower left corner. The translite is basically just a piece of printed plastic. I'm wondering if anyone has ever attempted a "repair" by having a printing company scan the translite and fill in the damaged area on the computer and then reprint the translite? I've seen people do decals to replace their playfield plastics this way and I'm wondering if anyone has tried it for a translite. Thanks.
I just did this at a local print shop for $50. https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/flash-backglass-needed#post-2192844
What doesn't work is the transparency areas like "Game Over" or "High Score".
That's how much I paid for the pinball too!!
For a Road Show, I would spend the $$ and find a replacement online from a reputable seller. Then sell the old translite.
