I would want one if they are in the $200 range. A translite would be fine too in the $100 range. I've never seen a translite for sale nor have I seen one 'out of stock' anywhere. Bgresto also has not done this backglass

Not aware of any repros available.
Homemade solution here:

The homemade substitute looks pretty good, but I think I would still buy a real repro glass or translight.
Lots of discussion about how most Time Warp backglasses are very flaky with age. It's an underrated game, partially due to the normally ugly backglass.
Quoted from danczaz:Has PPS ever thought of selling these as a poster... I would buy a few if these!
Actually...we have...is there a real interest?...what size would be preferable?
Quoted from bayoubilly70:Real backglasses rule...
But there is a substantial investment in doing a run of backglasses.
But we could start a poll to see how much interest there actually is.
And maybe more a print then a poster, like when you go to a museum and you buy a print of a painting in a gift shop
My original isn´t the best so I would want to be in on this.
Will come in handy when it´s time to shop my T.Warp many moons ahead.

Quoted from djblouw:Interested, but pricing is the key, since it won't double the value of the machine!
Yeah, they made a billion Time Warps, so it never seems to go up in value.
While a real backglass would be way nicer, on a game this inexpensive, I'd say a $50 translight would go over much better.
poll?
It would be cool if you had translites of every WMS SYSTEM 3-7 pin. Posters would be cool too! A lot of these older BGs are in bad shape and a readily available translite would be awesome!
Quoted from vid1900:While a real backglass would be way nicer, on a game this inexpensive, I'd say a $50 translight would go over much better.
poll?
I agree
Even at $50, that translight would be equal to the value of that game, because it was a non-coin-op, home unit that Sears used to sell for $699.

The Fireball translight that almost everybody needs is Fireball Classic. Never seen a good backglass that was not faded for that one.
Quoted from harry_pps:Time Warp or Cyclops?
If you do a Cyclopes backglass, there would be several of us interested. They fade really badly.
Quoted from Ronnie1114:If you do a Cyclopes backglass, there would be several of us interested. They fade really badly.
See above. He means Williams Cyclops, not Game Plan Cyclopes. Sorry, but I don't think this is the one you are looking for.
Quoted from RCA1:See above. He means Williams Cyclops, not Game Plan Cyclopes. Sorry, but I don't think this is the one you are looking for.
Ahhhh, I see. Was excited for a sec. Carry on...
Quoted from harry_pps:i might have films for Cyclopes...let me check
That would be incredible!!!
Harry,
10 games that PPS should always have a translight available! (if you don't have all the system 3-7 pins) I pass on a lot of games because backglass is shot.. A cheap alternative, readily Available would save a lot of these games from being parted out... It's the right thing to do!
