It's already a reputable source so buy with confidence. I just wanted to post some comparisons for those on the fence or for future on-the-fence folks. Some of the blues and greens are a tad lighter but totally unnoticeable once installed.
The positive difference a repro bg makes to a machine is priceless. I have x1 Shay & x3 bgresto & could not be happier with quality & impact.

No worries with Shay. Top shelf for sure.
Quoted from Barron:and greens are a tad lighter
Good side by side comparison. I agree they do great work. Yes, looks like they didn't want to add a third green screen for their hats!

Everything these days is done on a green screen.
you have to take in that the old glass has some degree of fade.
I am sure they try brighten up the color a bit to offset the fade in certain colors
I have spent a small fortune on glass between ron and shay.
Gov... ron has done 3 runs on sing along so I doubt he does another anytime soon. unless you can get 20 plus people to set up
bgrestro is great for glass that will never get screened, nothing compares to screened glass
Shay has been around forever, nothing new as all there stuff has always been top notch. Great choice of a game BTW.

Thanks, John. Always fun to spend $300 on glass for $400-500 games, but this one is a keeper for me.
I knew they had a reputation as being top-notch, but I had a hard time finding anything but words praising his work. I just wanted to supply some pics for those who do their research before ordering.
They definitely didn't cut corners on another screen of green. It's just a lighter shade than the one that was in my game. I don't have unreasonable expectations on things like this and realize that these games were made in a factory and not a boutique. There are probably little variations all around.
Now I'm saving up to buy the Gold Strike glass they have before I find myself regretting having missed the chance.
