Triple Action
Williams, 1974Just picked up a project Williams Triple Action missing the back glass. Looking for a either a new or used in good shape replacement. Did a google search and haven't found anything yet. Also, since I have access to a wide format digital sign printer I would be willing to buy a digitized file of the backglass art, not a perfect solution but better than nothing.
Bumping this back up. Hoping someone might have a lead on either a glass or a high resolution scan. Machine kind of sad looking with just a white board with bare bulbs.
Hi, trying bumping this up one more time. Still looking for a good back glass scan or high resolution picture. Bought machine without back glass as the original had been broken.
Quoted from EMsInKC:There's a guy named Gary Conway who might be able to help you out. He lives in the Pacific Northwest. I'll try and find some contact info.
OK, thanks. Would be great if I could at least get a good digital pic.
To those looking for a Triple Action Back Glass, I finally was able to print my own with the help of a friend at a Signs By Tomorrow here in Sac. If you need one, he has the file and would probably work something out with you. Hopefully not violating some Copyright here, since NO body else on the internet had one available. We printed on clear vinyl, then backed with white diffuser vinyl, then backed with cut out black for the non illuminated areas. I personally used Corel Draw and a picture someone on Pinside sent of their pretty bad back glass. Then pixel by pixel cleaned up the flaws. It isn't perfect, but better than none, or some of the bad ones I have seen.

Quoted from Pinballer73:Oh wow that's great. I've needed on for my game for many years now. Definitely interested, please let know how to go about ordering one or obtaining the art file.
I'm not sure what the cost would be for someone ordering now that they have done mine. The owner of the store is a friend in my Rotary Club, and we also trade business leads since I am also in the sign business, just the big lighted kind. But feel free to call him. It is Jim Hare, Signs By Tomorrow, Sacramento. 916-487-6772. One note. Unless you are experienced in applying multiple layers of vinyl, I would have Jim print and send it to you. Then have a local glass or sign shop apply the vinyl to your glass. I have experience, and it was a challenge to get it right.
