I own a transformers LE combo and I was interested in buying the translites / backglasses for the other Transformers models to hang in my game room (the autobot LE, decepticon LE and pro). Has anybody bought these for themselves and if so where did they buy them from? Or are they not available?

Check with Stern, give tech support a call. Try Stern distributors. Try Terry at Pinball Life.

My guess is they won't sell you one unless you have the game/serial number.

Yeah, I'm sure you can buy a Pro translight, no prob. Auto and Decep might be impossible.

I sent you a PM on a New Pro translight.
I can sell you one for 50% off what Stern Charges plus shipping

I have a Decepticon framed in between two pieces of glass. It's in a deep frame with a light behind it. Signed by Gomez. You can see in this pic

Wish I had a better pic of it. Ill try and take one ltr. To get it framed was like 120.00 because of using a deep wood frame so i could put a light behind it.

How hard is it to turn your normal translite into a real backglass?

You'd need the artwork, glass, and screens and paint. Etc. Etc.

Not an easy undertaking.

Yes you can. It will look like crap, but you can try anything.
