So whats the going rate for a NOS pinball backglass?

[Crazy Climber]

Hello

I am lucky enough to own a Black Knight pinball machine. Some will say BK is over rated but I disagree and think it's just another childhood dream come true to have one in my basement. My machine shows some wear, it was the only way I could find one at an affordable price. I can handle the playfield wear but the backglass flaking drives me absolutely nuts (I guess that was common on this game? They all seem to have it.) Sometimes I like to just fire up all the pinballs and look at them and a nice new backglass would look sweet on this machine. My question is, how much should I expect to pay for a NOS or a very very nice used backglass? I haven't looked very hard but a quick search found me a place called mayfair that was asking $295 for the glass, $25 for the trim and an additional $50 for shipping. Thats $370 total! If thats the going rate then I guess I'll save up but anyone know if they typically go for less? I hate to overpay for stuff and I don't really follow the vintage pinball scene. Any advice/help would be great, Thanks guys!

 

 

Here is a pic of the machine on and off, it's not the greatest quality picture but you can see how the flaking would make me go crazy

I hate to say this but they're pretty close with the price...The problem is that Black Knight is a popular/collector pin thus the price especialy for a nos one. You might want to check to see it there is a repro that was done. Nice machine btw......

Thanks, I figured a Black Knight for under $1000 was the cheapest I would find, been looking for one for a while

With the collector following of Black Knight I figured NOS parts would be scarce but then again didn't they make like 10,000+ machines? I would think there has to be a stash of parts somewhere...unless mayfair owns them all, then I guess they can name there price
