Mine is covered as well.

Mine is 1402 that was a "garage find" that was near perfect. I assume later editions may have been modified? You have me wondering what the story is.

Went to my friend Steve's house this weekend and his xenon is cut out. When I told him mine wasn't he was surprised as he thought they all were cut out.

So who knows what the story is on why some are cutout and others not?

Ok, this mystery is killing me. Anyone have an idea why some xenon mirrored glass is cutout over the signature and some aren't. All of them came from the factory that way so we aren't talking about some mod done later. So why did they do a run of cutouts then stopped?

oh for the love of christ does ANYONE know why some are cut out and some aren't??? With over 11000 produced this will be a really long thread if everyone just posts if theirs is or isn't without answering why!!

So whats the deal? Did some elf do it? Did the grinch only steal half of the cutouts?

Bump. Anyone know the answer?

So is the cut out from the factory and the plain ones aftermarket? Or the other way around? Or did bally do a special run of cutouts and then stop as it took too long? Or was the cutout done later by some owners as a mod?

No idea why I'm obsessing on this but I just love solving a mystery...

Thanks rotordave. Makes sense.

Anyone know if there is a pinside member that worked at Bally back then that knew the definitive answer?

Thanks blackknightx, you sir are a steely-eyed middle man!!
