Quoted from TractorDoc:

Thanks CPR! Hopefully Paragon looks just as good.

Only if their process has changed dramatically. I bought a Paragon glass from them a few years ago and couldn't have been more disappointed. The colors were way off and like many of their CMYK glasses, everything was pretty muddy. This is on top of the fact the glass was too short and wouldn't even latch into the backbox (top edge of glass was lower than bottom of backbox channel). Whole thing was a complete disaster.

I ended up contacting BGrepro and they sent me a Paragon glass that looks AMAZING! Couldn't be happier. Those guys tend to fall off the earth for stretches, but the product was outstanding.

All this said, I have bought many CPR products that are great. Spot color backglasses are night and day different than their CMYK in terms of final quality. Spot color (like Strikes and Spares and Solar Fire) are sweet. And I've bought many plastics and playfields. However, I'll never buy another CMYK backglass from them, unless somehow they *actually* figure out how to accurately recreate them.

Quoted from Its_me_aj:

You would think that with all the other games he has recreated, he would know by now that the sizes are all the same. I’m not the first person to have issues with him. It’s whatever. Just saying the chance for a theater of magic mirrored was there and I hope someone can help him out with one. They are pretty cool upgrades. There are better ways to go about it when people from the hobby are just trying to help out. What really sucks is I have a NOS space station like he is looking for as well that I can send but I’d rather not at this point. It’s not like he has a line of people waiting to send him stuff. Maybe there is a reason for that

Can anyone help track down a super rare plain glass for WPC games? Not only are these extremely rare, but the dimensions are a complete mystery. If only other similarly sized backglasses had already been re-created to use as a sizing template. Or at least if anyone anywhere had access to the glass dimensions. What a shame.
