i would think this would be a huge seller if someone repro-ed these inner glasses as I have never seen a good one without flaking! the outside bg always seems ok, just inner is jacked! a buddy told me he thought that Shay Arcade did them awhile back, but not sure. any info here???

The glass in mine is great so I don't know, haven't heard any announcements on it and don't see it listed on Shay's site. If you need one, get a bunch of people together and petition Shay. If they know a reproduction is needed, they'll make one.

I've had 3 black holes over the years and none of them had bad glass. Not discounting that its needed, just pointing out that there is good ones out there. Be patient and keep looking.

Huh, ok, I woulda figured they were all in some way jacked up with flaking! I have three(1 is really just the backbox only) and two of the three are terrible and third is flaking a little on bottom. I have seen at least 3 others in my area over the yrs and they all had major flaking. So, I guess you guys are the lucky ones or I'm bad luck! Haha

I hate to say it, but I'm also one of the lucky ones - my playfield is pretty worn in the usual spots, but my inner backglass is perfect. however, I have heard many people say the backglass is hard to find in good condition! maybe just a weird sample bias here

Well the good thing about the inner glass is that you can hardly tell even if your bg is terrible because of lighting and the "space" look to it anyway! To the collector we know though lol
