Quoted from wolftownjeff:

Would folks chime in on the mirrored backglasses.
Can you see the difference when lit?
Any chance of a side by side comparison?
My MMr translite is a "replacement" and is not worthy of the game. Blurred etc.
My AFMr glass is nice with some clear spots where white lite comes through.
My AFMr and MMr are forever games. Would the mirrored BG's be noticeably better and worth the money?
Much thanks,

I just installed a Twilight Zone mirrored backglass. My translite was yellowed and impossible to clean. I had purchased one of the re-prints of the translite recently. IT was a piece of awful garbage. Too dark, blotchy, some color registration issues; I'm not sure what material it is printed on; just looked bad.

So I spend the $$ for the mirrored backglass. It came a few days ago - the mirrored parts look REALLY nice, especially when the game is *off*, believe it or not. Very nice, meticulous mirroring done. IT's not too much, either, I think they did a tasteful job. I do still feel it's a little dark - but I guess I will have to just deal and put in some brighter LEDs in the backbox. I am unsure how well it would light with incandescents; seems like it would be a bit murky.

I found it impossible to get a picture of though, at least on my phone. very nice job; with good lighting it should look really sharp.

Quoted from wolftownjeff:

Just got mine and yes you are correct.
The glass is too dark.
MM BG is even darker.

Caveat emptor I guess. I’m sure it’s hard to get right but it just doesn’t look quite as good as my original yellowing translite. I will try adding some more/brighter bulbs and see if that helps
