Need Wide Body Belly Glass ANY

[big_e]

Hey guys,

I am hitting the road on Sunday to go pick up my Lucky Twins Continental.    Actually found it here on this board, so thanks to all of you.
I want to swap out the belly glass with just about anything except whats in it.  Something black would be great.  The original that says CONTINENTAL would be amazing, but unlikely. 

If anyone has any glass they are willing to part with please message me.  If anyone has this actual belly glass from the original also please PM me.  I am working with Coos and he said if I scan it at 300DPI and email him the file he can make it.  I am open to any suggestions here.
THANKS!!!

Big E:


I would bet that either Don Lee or Gordy Nichols (SP) would have your glass.  Gordy is on this forum, Don still does not have a computer or indoor plumbing.

I will give Don a call, I do have his number you gave me.
Funny about the plumbing.....

Who is Coo's??? I still need to have my Monte Carlo Belly glass reproduced..  I wish I could get lucky and find a could more of these rare and hard models of early Bally EM slots.. They just don't pop up in my area and I don't have a truck I trust driving out of the area..

Coos is a guy from Holland who can reproduce mirrored glass.  Does a great job.  Had him make me a new set of glasses for my Big Apple.  He would like to have the actual glass to scan, but I am going to try scanning one for him and emailing it.  See if we can get a system worked out so we dont have to ship glass out of the country.

I would LOVE to find a Texas Twin or Monte Carlo.  In my area would be great, but heck ANYWHERE would be great.  Id be happy to help you if I had one.  I could scan glass and Coos could make it.

How much did it cost for your big Apple glass? I would really like my Monte Carlo to have the Mirror on the Belly glass, instead of the Grey substituted in its place.

I think I have a yellow train "CAL Neva"  glass I took out of a summit machine I scrapped.  I will take a picture of it. Also,  you never know what you will find !

There was a guy in the mid Atlantic area with a shipping container of assorted exotic Bally EM games.  He and I spoke about 5+ years ago when I was in search of a Medalist.  I remember that he had 3 of them.  I dont think that he was ready to part with the machines and a deal could not be made at the time.  Perhaps things have changed.  I will TRY to find our old emails and see if he has any Monte Carlos and such.


Big E, please share with us the glass maker here in America.  I emailed them a request for a job as soon as you gave me the information before.  I never heard back from them.  I though that I saved the website but I cant find it. 


I will keep the group posted.

It costs $250 for each piece.  And keep in mind those glasses are small compared to a Belly glass.  IT isnt cheap.  And if you reproduce something he already has the price appears to be the same.  Great quality though.  I would think he could even do it if it was broken as long as you had the pieces.  He first scans and photo shops them.

The local guy who reproduces glass can be found here:
info@bgresto.com
Unfortunately, I have emailed him with no response.  But it is worth a try.  I also found this place that does new glass for pinballs.
