There aren't any pictures available, unfortunately. This guy met with a fabricator and asked him about doing a reproduction. The fabricator said he would need to buy a machine to handle the bend, so he'd only do it if he had enough orders. Well, he got his minimum amount, so they're running them. It sounds like it will have the border on there as well. According to the fabricator (hopefully not of lies!), he can reproduce the bend in the plexiglass at the exact same angle, but with less distortion to the view. Glass would definitely be more sturdy, but the originals came with plexiglass so I'm fine with that. Also, in a home environment there's no reason why these should take any sort of abuse. I'm sure if the orders go well that there will be another run of these. Once people start posting pics online or writing up impressions a whole new flood of new buyers will show up.

Any pictures? Would this be better replaced with a piece of smoked glass?

A forum member on KLOV has a source for getting the smoked plexiglass for Punch-Out!!, Super-Punch Out!!, and PlayChoice 10 machines reproduced. It's not very cheap, but it's something you don't see very often. His pricing $60 +$15 shipping = $75 for one and $120 + $20 shipping = $140 for two. I think he's placing his order Monday, and he's taking money by check (no paypal). I'm buying one, but if anybody else wants one I can put the extra money in for two (or more) and I can collect payment when they show up if anybody is interested. I'll be dropping this off at the post office in about three hours though. If you want to deal with him directly, his KLOV username is Chuck 777.
