  1. Film Frames Bezel for 16:9 Backglasses on a 4:3 Monitor

    Those of us who use a 4:3 monitor for their backglass know the problem: Most backglasses from the late 1970s to the early 2000s look all right without too much stretching, since the format used primarily back then was pretty close to a 4:3 aspect ratio. This changed in the 2010s though, when modern pinball companies increasingly used 16:9 aspect ratio monitors for their digital backglasses.
     
    Of course you all know how to tweak your screen .res files (and if you don't, you should learn - it's not hard, and it makes a world of difference not having a stretched or squished backglass to look at), but that still leaves black bars at the top and bottom of the monitor.
     
    This is a bezel that fills that empty space. It's designed to look like the edges of classic film frames and could conceivably be used for all kinds of tables with 16:9 backglasses that are based on movies and/or TV shows: Guardians of the Galaxy, The Munsters, Beavis and Butt-Head, Game of Thrones, Wizard of Oz... I used mine for Tom & Jerry, as it goes particularly well with the classic cartoon look.
    I also included my .res file for that table to provide an example. Of course your values will have to be edited, as this is tailored to my particular specs (playfield 1920x1080, backglass 1600x1200, DMD 1280x720, bezel images in c:\bezels), but maybe it'll be of use to someone.
     
    The image can also be used as a size guide template. Just replace the film frames with other images for other 16:9 backglasses (I made one with rusty riveted metal for Volkan Steel and Metal, for example).
     
    Share and enjoy!

  4. Fun Cruise (Bally, 1966) JB

    Complete Touch up of a very nice back glass. When I took the attached picture at the PHoF in Vegas, I did not notice that this is a flipperless game! Based on my short research, these games were mainly made as spare parts sources for Bingo machines. Due to some strange laws back then, shipping of Bingo parts  over some state ines  was illegal, but shipping of this kind of game with many parts used also in Bingo games not. I don't if this is really true, but's an interesting story anway.

  5. Full (Recreativos Franco, 1977) JB

    Another rough and dirty touch up. This games was made by "Recreativos Franco" a Spanish manufacturer. For export outside Spain the company called itself "Interflip". I think, back glasses like this caused the American manufactures to show "Winners don't use drugs" on their displays in the late 80s. Original Artist not known.

  7. Faces (Sonic, 1976) JB

    Mix of vector and touch-up.
    I do not remember to have played the one, even when Spanish pinballs were quite popular in the 70's here in Germany. But I do not remember Sonic. I played many games made by Reccel, Playmatic and EuroFlip.  The graphic of this one is a little weird, but during working on this, I started to like it a little(!!)  bit. Most pictures found in the net were faded, but I hope, I matched the colors.

  8. Fore (Bally, 1973) JB

    Re-drawn as vector graphic by me. This game is very rare, so there are no good pictures out there. I tried my best. 
     
    If there would be a competition for the most ugliest back glass in Pinball history, I bet this would be in the top ten. Please see the attached picture of the vector file.

  10. Firecracker (Bally, 1971) JB

    Touch up version. This is the German backglass. Bally made some pins in the 70s with German wording, also on the playfield. Even to me as a German, that looks strange...
