I posted this on another thread and have not gotten a response so I will give it a go here.
I just listed some translite frames on my site for sale. I used the translite in my TZ, it measures 18.5" x 26.5" Is this the standard size of most transites?
I know the smart thing to do would have been to ask before listing but at the time I thought they would all be the same, but then it hit that my TZ is a wide body and maybe the back box is bigger on them?
Thanks!
Also bear in mind that the sizes can vary from one manufacturer to the other. For example, Data East translites are taller and narrower than B/W translites.

Thanks for pointing that out Gweempose! But am I to assume that a lot of the Translites should be the same size as the TZ?

Yes. It's probably safe to say that a vast majority of the translites out there are the same size as TZ.
Quoted from northvibe:I have a TZ and BBB trans at home I want framed.
TZ 18.5 x 28.5
BBB 18 x 14
I can remeasure to double check.
Hey Northvibe, my tz is exactly 18.5 x 26.5, I took it right out of my pin. You can see the frames here: http://www.spotlightdisplays.com/pinball-translite-frames.html
I would defiantly measure to make sure. Never saw that BBB before, very cool! I will give you a price on that once you find out the exact size. You get 10% for being a Pinsider. The code is "Pinsiders".
The tanslite can be a little smaller then the size I have cut for the frame but not bigger as it will bow. Smaller meaning about .5 inchs, but it is better to give me an exact size.

Those numbers are off of my notepad on my phone...so it very well could be wrong as well phone and touch screens are stupid. I will check. I want to frame them soooo bad 
Your frames look good and much higher quality than the ones at major retailers for insane prices already.
I will measure again tonight and post up w/ pics.

Sounds great Northvibe. I kind of have a biased opinion but these frames are the Best! I say this on my website and it is true, there are other frames out there that look like mine, but when you have them in your hands, you really feel the difference. These are high end so the price is high compared to Walmart frames. It's all in what someone wants.
Thanks!
