    Does anyone here know what happened to the original silk screens that were used on the play fields and back glass? Have any ever been for sale? Were they just thrown out as soon as the game was out of production?

    Thank you to everyone that has replied so far. I once managed a company where we had a division that did silk screening on metal plates and understand the storage/use. We kept some screens for 10+ years and had roughly 1000 on file for various customers. I started this thread because I am generally interested in what happened to them. I suspect that they were treated as short use "tools" and discarded within a year of production with no thought of future support since most games were parted out and junked.
