Pinball backglass restoration in RGP
I haven’t tackled a pin restoration yet, but at some point I’ll start on the firepower machine I have that’s been waiting for a little TLC. This thread over in RGP got me thinking about my pin project and about pinball restoration efforts in general.
Read the RGP thread here.
I think the new process is a great idea and hopefully a less costly alternative to silk screened glass reproductions. Knowing a little about silk screening from my Berzerk control panel reproductions, I can only imagine the time and effort required to produce a repro pin glass. The cost certainly reflects this. Being able to produce the same quality effect on a translite could be a fantastic way to repro some backglass art that might otherwise never get done.
Pinball restorations are a worthy cause, let Steve Young or the pin community in general know how you feel. Get involved and help save some games!

So, if I get the resolve of the group….the idea is that a suitable printer won’t be able to be found (which obviously still won’t have the same experience in printing pinball artwork, but you have the trade off of being able to get something printed in some reasonable time)….
And the support is that by letting Steve know how much of a market there is for this specific piece he’d bump up the production of it? Is that the goal in your view and you think Bill’s?
