Does anybody have a good backglass for sale? Or knows about one?

Just reading you guys convinced me to order one as well... cannot wait. But then my TF is in 1000 pieces right now anyway

Guys...

I'm currently restoring my Time Fantasy which came without display boards nor flat cables. I have harvested a spare Alien Poker for these parts, but I ran into a problem and I also have a question. I hope somebody can help.

The problem: due to the lay-out of the backglass one of the flat cables from the Alien Poker is too short (display 3). Before I try to find and order a longer flat cable: can somebody please check whether I'm trying to put things back correctly?

The question: as there are no indications on the backglass, am I putting the players correctly? Or should 2 and 3 switch places?

Thanks!!!

Both were designed by Seamus McLaughlin. At first I didn't really like the art package on neither game, but they actually grew on me and now I think they are about as crazy as an art package can get. I try to imagine what happened in the Williams director's office, back in those days. Remember business was really bad. Yet this guy came up and threw in the idea of theming the game with psychedelic mushrooms, a rainbow and weird looking snails. "Oh yes, brilliant! Let's do that!". Could have been a good laugh, but it actually happened. I find this intriguing and this is exactly why I love this era in pinball history. I hope that one day one of these guys will publish his memoires...

I like this @goingincirclez. For my restoration I preferred to stick as close to original as possible, but it's true that the theme invites you to go crazy with colours. I saw some photos once of a TF where all targets had different colours, very nice.

Your playfield will need some love at some point. I have scanned mine (which was in much better shape) before restoring it. Just give me a sign if you ever need them to reproduce your missing artwork.

I scanned the playfield before removing Mylar. Since the Mylar was yellowed and heavily cracked I doubt the scans would be useful as a basis for a hardtop. They have a lot of detail though and were helpful to recreate missing artwork (that was the only purpose).
@goingincirclez: send me your email address via pm and I'll send you the files.

Too bad I totally forgot to make new scans once my playfield was restored...

I know your Bad Cats project, I've favourited and enjoyed following the thread since day 1

Nice! Seems like you've got yourself an upcoming project

I've made plastic protectors for my TF. I can send you the vector file if you want to have them lasercut.

I also worked out a fix for my broken tube plastic, described here: http://bit.ly/2Rpox0K

I scanned my plastics and drew the set of plastic protectors a while ago when restoring my TF. I can send the vector file for download. Simply PM me.

I kept mine rather traditional, yet added freeplay. Here's the pdf.

Mine was broken as well. I fixed things by combining the original plastic with a custom made plastic protector.

I can send you the vector file for the protectors if you want.
