Van het weekend een andere einddemper gemonteerd van het merk Elia. Geluid is iets veranderd in de positieve zin van het woord en het is eens wat anders dan een dubbele pijp of de V6 look.

Enough about the backglass. Here's the inside of the backbox for you. In a pinball machine backbox, first the backglass swings out on a frame, presenting you with the lights, and then the light board swings out, so you can get to the circuit boards.

 

This part really surprised me, because I thought surely all of the circuit boards would live down in the roomy cabinet under the playfield.

Here it is! My complete reproduction inner backglass in the backbox!

 

It's a sheet of 26"x26" plexiglass with a vinyl decal completely covering it, and then a sheet of mirror film on top of that. I didn't bother to cut the center out of the mirror film, because Mars shines through it just fine, and it actually creates a neat effect where he's completely invisible when the game is off, and magically appears when the game's turned on!

 

The indicator light text is just printed on paper affixed to the back of the plexiglass.

 

If I ever made another one of these, I would use 1/8" plexiglass (I used 1/12" because that's all that I could find in sizes close to 26"x26" without being too small or WAY too big), and I would print an additional mask layer for the cape underneath the image layer. On the original inner backglass, Mars's cape has an opaque layer behind all of it, whereas on this one only the indicators are opaque, so they stand out more. In fact, I've already created a new image for that mask layer, and if there's any demand for more of these reproduction inner backglasses I'll use it to make them even better than this one!

 

Amazingly, I think this is the very last thing I've had left to do on refurbishing this machine, and now it's TOTALLY FINISHED!! I guess I'll play a few games and let that sink in, and then figure out what I want to do with it next!

 

Thanks for reading along on this crazy adventure, and please feel free to leave me any comments or questions on any of the images in this set!
