One sheet with the front artwork and one for the silvered mask on the back so the tilt/ball in play/game over/match numbers will work. So if anyone has a SWING-ALONG glass and are willing to email some pictures I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks, Mark

Would you either make the statement you are going to scan it in and send
it to him directly, or you have a replacement glass for sale and what
price BTW are you going to ask/demand? If its scanned art, just post
links to it already.

Bruno, from Paris France, has sent me a beautiful high res picture of a Swing-Along backglass. But because the glass was in a framed wall art fixture he was not able to get a backside picture of the silver masking. If anyone could take that image for me it would complete what i need to make the translight. Thanks, Mark

Hey, Just wanted to tell you all that the translight replacement has been printed out and installed into the game. IT WORKED GREAT ! Looks good from the front and the lighted areas look just like they should when it game is on. Final cost was $90 plus a piece of glass that cost $15. So for anyone with a bad glass/missing glass game making a translight is not difficult to do. The hardest part of the project was finding people to take some nice pictures of a decent glass. Mark

I just picked up a Swing Along with a roached backglass. If I could get copies of the artwork to have my own translite made, I would really, really appreciate it.

Thanks,
Dean

It was an incorrect coil installed in 0-9 unit. Fixed!

John in NC,

I have the same issue on my Diamond Jack, the one point score is just a clacking noise no bell. Bad Coil? Game played at sellers house got it home and no bell.
