Anyone have a pic of a translate in their EM (maybe a Gary Conway piece)

Quoted from mrbanjo:

I had a Gary Conway Klondike translite/backglass. Not a s nice a silkscreen, but overall still very nice. Particularly if it's for a game no one makes silk screen repros for.

Here's a couple.

This was a Conway repro, or so i was told when i acquired it.

It looks fairly brite in this photo,
but in person the colors are a bit duller
and the bulb lighting behind is a bit more diminished than
a NOS silk screened BG.
Still much better than flaked glass.

I had to put one in my Big Injun, the original was gone.

Hi pinsiders
HOW can I contact Gary Conway ? See the JPG - the backglass of my Freshie https://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=954 is so bad - I only will do fix the electrical / mechanical problems when I have an acceptable backglass / translite. Greetings Rolf

He is “backglassreprints” on eBay. Sorry, I don’t have an email for him. Good Luck!

This is an excerpt from a couple of emails from Gary way back in 2006;
so i have no idea if his yahoo email address is still valid.

Tom, email me a list of the games your looking for glasses for.
Best to describe my process on the phone, call me or email me back your phone number.
Mine is XXX-692-2230 Thanks, Gary
=======================================================
Tom, most glasses, like say, a 20X22 size, sell for 185.00 plus shipping.
Larger glasses cost slightly more. When someone sends me their old glass to get reproduced,
the cost depends on the condition of the original.
============================================================
If you PM me I can tell you the area code,
Again not sure if it is still valid and
prices are probably no longer valid
