I went to my friend's place over the weekend and saw this. Story goes he was working in his shop...heard a pop... and then it sounded like a box of Legos being emptied out. Ouch! The machine hadn't been moved in years and nothing was going on near it. Just a spontaneous explosion. So he's looking for a replacement.... obviously. Located in SE WI. I'll pass along any leads. Thanks

Edit: Did they use tempered glass for bg's in the 70's?

OUCH! ...that's scary if it just imploded by itself.

Good Luck!! No repros for that.

Not tempered. Paint probably held it together some.
