Great news Ron - I've been looking forward to this repro. Thanks so much!
1 week later
Quoted from Elvisinmypants:Thanks Ron!! Looks very nice, can't be very easy to do. Now I have to get my machine in the house. 20150411_084449.jpg (Click image to enlarge)20150128_171132.jpg (Click image to enlarge)
Hmmm ... that new glass should make a noticeable difference. 
Looking forward to mine arriving!

Yes for sure! I had bought the machine knowing that these repros were being produced. Ron Webb is definitely putting machines back on their legs. What a asset to the hobby, we are blessed to have him.
Quoted from boilerman:I wish ron would do the replays and let slow poke shay do the AAB...
I wish someone would do Crescendo. Lemme hold my breath until I turn blue...lmao..

you can get bgresto to do it.. but to get a screened glass only the top titles get done.
Quoted from Rat_Tomago:Oh well BGresto will be my friend later on.
Not a bad way to go seeing Dave won 1st Place for "Best 70's Machine" on his 1971 Williams Klondike that had a brand new bgresto.com glass in it.

One vote for "Card Trix"! But, I'd like to see it made without the "previous high score" box. I think that's one original detail that would be better left off (now I've started something!).

Not interested. At -all-.

not being a big AAB guy, I have some and wondered if that window was ever used?
I would rather have art myself.

I am glad that he is doing them otherwise without a bg some of these pins would be parted out.
personally I think they are over priced for what they are.

I agree. I have seen them in person several times...I don't like them. It's a "last ditch option" IMO. Light transmission and color saturation are both way off to my eyes.
Some bgresto glasses are better than others. I commend their efforts because it ends up saving games from being parted out. The "big guys" are limited to what glasses they can produce due to the limiting factors of their process. Being able to do "one-offs" is truly a benefit to the hobby.
i wonder who pissed Ron off? I would not want to be on his shit list.
1972 Pop A Card - $273 - limited # available - must contact me first as some people are on my shit list and will not be sold glass ever again - you know who you are.

After I bought his last blemished glass from the last run, this is what he put on his website:
GONE AND FORGOTTEN - NOT BEING RUN AGAIN
I'm guessing he was sending a message to someone.......
Quoted from SealClubber:No soup for you!
that's funny! that was exactly my first thought when I saw what ron wrote......

If you do not reside in the US you become an ex-officio member of the '.... list' so I continue to give full marks to Steve (bgresto) for serving the whole pinball community & serving it well.
I think ron was burned a few times from oversea buyers that is why he stopped that.

Is last ditch better than a flaked off glass with bulbs showing through?
There's lots of games that will never be reproduced. That's just the facts. bgresto's service may not be for the Grey Poupon set, but what he's doing is keeping a lot of fun games that otherwise would be parted out up and running for the future.
