Seems like common sense, but be careful where you store your backglasses.

    I’m sure most of us have seen Bally backglasses from the late 70’s and early 80’s that had art that was bubbling and wrinkled. I’ve passed on a few seemingly great deals because of this and my fear that I could never find another one. Well these things are more fragile than I thought.

    I had a nearly perfect backglass in my Fathom. I took it out to do some work on it a few weeks ago put it in the corner of my heated basement with the rest of my spare backglasses. Today, I put it back in my game and ironically it looked like it was underwater. Bubbling and wrinkled like so many other Bally backglasses.

    Maybe the humidity change over the last 3 weeks? Maybe the difference in temperature between the air and the concrete floor? Who knows, but for what it’s worth, don’t take any chances.

    Could have been worse I guess. Thanks to CPR for remaking it!
