I'm ok with the tricked out chrome look.  I am interested in Firepower
repros but don't want to bankrupt myself to buy the screened glass
ones.  This is a great way to increase the number of restored pinball
machines and I encourage you to continue to pursue this.  The pinball
parts aftermarket manufacturers and sellers should also be supporting
($ponsoring) this effort as they will benefit especially.  RGP is
probably one of the most active groups that I participate in.  There
are many pinball machines waiting for backglasses or have cruddy ones
that are not being restored (and restoration parts being ordered) and
enjoyed as a result. I have a few myself that I would immediately
begin to restore.  CPR has helped this cause and they can't pump out
PF titles and plastics fast enough.  I'm excited because the tools and
technology are becoming readily available to do small runs at a
reasonable price.   You are sooooo close.  Don't give up yet.  Having
all of the main pieces to be able to rebuild and restore many more
different classic pinball machines using modern (and much more
reliable) boards and parts is almost a reality.  And I can't see how
that can't be good for everyone.
