No Good Gofers
Williams, 1997Just got a new pin - No Good Gofers. Tremendous fun, brought it to man cave. Just in time for league night hosting on Saturday. Was just resettling the DMD and BG into place when -
Explosion!!
I'm sitting there with empty hands and a BG in a billion pieces. Never dropped it. It just imploded. Exploded....disintegrated.
F@#kin hobby...lol....
Anybody do a repro or might have NOS or used BG for NGG? Thanks....
image.jpgdamn. got to love incandescent bulbs and how they make plastic brittle. try ebay for one maybe? that sucks though
Wow, sorry that happened. Is NGG an actual backglass, and not a glass with translite?
Quoted from PinsideTroll:damn. got to love incandescent bulbs and how they make plastic brittle. try ebay for one maybe? that sucks though
There's no plastic there. NGG uses a real backglass.
I've never had a backglass explode in my hands but did have a playfield glass explode wile just holding it. Unfortunately I was right in front of the game when it exploded and small pieces of glass ended up everywhere inside the game.
Quoted from schudel5:There's no plastic there. NGG uses a real backglass
didnt know that, thanks 
Quoted from DefaultGen:The glass was on the playfield at least
You got that right.I didn t know NGG used a reak backglass.
Quoted from DefaultGen:The glass was on the playfield at least
He wishes, read again. He prolly slid the glass to keep it safe until he deals with the cleanup.
I know, I was glad they used a real BG, until it broke in a million pieces. James from Pinball Inc said it was static electricity too. It was beautiful too...gorgeous.
At least it doesn't affect game play. Nothing related to game on BG at all....
Just look at it like a really challenging jigsaw puzzle.
Or put it on ebay as a NGG backglass jigsaw puzzle.
Quoted from Dbaum88:You can't fix this pinball machine Spicoli....
Relax! I can fix it.
Thanks Spooky and thanks to all of you. Love me some Pinside support.
I did buy a back box decal for it from my friend and great seller - Joey from pinball decals. It is smaller but it has identical art and will tape it to the back of another translite. We will see if that works for now..
BTW, if you have not bought from or checked out pinball decals, you should. Really cool mods, especially the instruction cards and decals.
Quoted from Atomicboy:Just insert one of those other BG's on the wall.
Well, the fit on NGG is unique so none of them fit! But IJ translite is just about the right size...Id love to find another glass though. It was so gorgeous and so much better than a translite.
