I just purchased a Williams Flash with a 9.7/ 10 playfield and a 1/10 BG. I need a usable Flash BG if there is anyone out there that has one for sale or trade. If you have a lead on one please let me know.

Maybe try contacting mayfairamusements.com or bgresto.com
Looks like CPR did a run of reproductions in 2008, though I doubt any retailers still have any left.
If someone has a good scan, you might be able to print a translite.
Email sent to mayfair. BGresto didn't seem to have anything listed for flash. My BG is beyond restoration.
I'm not sure if BGresto's list is current...it might not be. Even if your glass is unrestorable, they still might be able to print it on your old glass if they already have the artwork done for it.
How can you tell if the Flash backglass is a repro, does it appear any different in any way from an original? I ask because I was able to pick up an almost perfect one from a local auction, very cheap I might add, and it looked just slightly different from my original. The black lines were not aligned as well, and were often thinner than my old one. But no one can tell that but me, and it looks great in the machine now.
Quoted from CaptainFantastic:I have a MINT (never used) Repro if the one you have coming doesn't work out.
Where were you yesterday, just kidding. Mine should show in a couple of days, I'll be in touch.
