There's also the Mr. Pinball Pinball Collector Register: http://user.xmission.com/~daina/tpcr/search_tpcr.html (search machine in collection = Sing Along).
There's a mix of domestic and international hobbyists here. One of the older sites that's been around a long time thanks to Daina. Lots of duplications across various pinball sites I'm sure but might be worth a try. Contact info. may be a little sketchy on this one also. Landlines and AOL were probably popular when this site went online.
You're welcome, Hoov.
Mr. Pinball reminds of the old BBS days and 300 baud Hayes modems, but for sure some good nuggets there. I'll check it out.

Quoted from Model237:Anybody other Sing Along owner leads??? (rubs hands together
)
I sent a pm to prock in Canada to see if he had any interest. He was looking for a back door for his Sing Along on the em parts wanted thread. Not sure if it was the one on ebay that was sold near Detroit for $375 BIN recently. Nothing from rgp yet........
Quoted from pinhead52:You might hit up the admins on the pinball serial number db to see if they'd put out an alert to the 38 submitters there...
Good idea.....
I think you can count me in. My SA backglass is actually in pretty good shape, but Webb's repros are fantastic, and I wouldn't mind installing a perfect new one.

I would love a new backglass, but my playfield and cabinet are not that great. It would be like putting lipstick on a pig, well maybe not that bad. Cab is flaking off on the head pretty bad and playfield is worn in the usual spots. The only good thing is that Webb is only a couple miles from me, so no shipping. Toms River NJ right?
I'll think about it....unless someone can give me a real compelling reason to do it, just not sure it's worth it.

Cabs can be repainted...and occasionally a Wade Krauss pf comes up on ebay. Ready to sink 1200 into her to get a very nice game?

He is located on Cochranville, PA, which isn't too bad of a drive for you. Look for a Wade Krauss pf or buy another Sing Along with a good pf (and maybe better cab) and swap parts and sell what's left.
Something to consider..........
I could use at least one. I own 2 Sing Alongs. One with a Wade Krause playfield installed and another that I play often. Very fun game.
Fantastic!
Thanks tengle93 and Electrocute!
What do you guys think? If everyone wanting a Sing Along glass pm'd me with your name, e-mail address, home address, and phone I could build a list of 12 commitments and pass along to Ron Webb. I will not share the info. with anyone. If you would rather not share your info. with me we would have to contact Ron direct. That will mean Ron will have to build the list (he already has some names). Let me know what you guys would rather do. I'm just happy we got enough names!

Long shot but does anyone know a new Pinsider - Sing_Along - his first name is Matt? He's the only one that hasn't got back to me to get on our bg list. I'm going to send my list to Ron Webb with 11 names and tell him about Matt but I also wanted to ask here first to see if anyone knew of him.
Update:
E-mail sent to Ron Webb tonight with contact info. for 11 of the 12 backglasses needed - still waiting to hear back from Sing_Along. Maybe Ron can add a name from his list to ours. Updates to follow - waiting to hear back from Ron.
Good luck to you guys I've got a melody with a webb glass and a good PF without the KO tears or planking. Taking my time too a rush job is just wasted time. Got my tumbler all set up I'll start with the posts and work up to the shooter lane hardware. Told the wife I need a buffing wheel and I got the "more tools " sigh 
Quoted from 1974DeltaQueen:Told the wife I need a buffing wheel and I got the "more tools " sigh
What I do is wait until my wife wants something for herself then tell her I'll get something for myself too (pinball parts/tools) equal value to what she's getting. 
Good luck with the repro guys. It's a nice game.

Thanks for the update Hoov! Looks like it's happening.
Quoted from MrWizzo:SA owners,
Hijacking the thread with Hoov's permission.
Does the MUSIC sign on the bg light only at game over, and does it have flashers?
Dan
Mine didn't have flashers in the MUSIC sign. If I remember the YT video of Vic Camp's SA, neither does he. I did put flashers in the SING ALONG logo after seeing that video. Mine didn't have them, and I liked the look, but no idea if it's original.
I've never seen MUSIC light up except for game over. Need to check schematic to be sure though.
Quoted from Model237:Excellent news!
Just out of curiosity, would Gottlieb even deny permission to an up-to-snuff repro part maker???
For an established reproduction guy like Ron Webb its a formality. Ron needs to send a glass to them for proofing and then PBR usually sells it.
3 weeks later
any inkling or time frame here? im not being impatient, just i have about 3 or 4 games in the queue and if its going to be a few monnths i may put singalong on the back burner or at least move it down.. mines fully working, and im debating on doing a quick clean light and rubber replacement until later. games dont get played a lot but i think id love to do a full refurb on the pf knowing the glass was there for the final touch
