Restore the full visual impact of your pinball machine
with our 3 mm plexiglass Backglass.
Rigid and designed to fit directly into the machine’s backbox,
it allows you to replace an aging
or damaged backglass, or simply choose an alternative artwork to give your pinball machine a completely new personality.

Unlike a flexible translite,
this product is made from a genuine
3 mm thick rigid plexiglass panel.
The artwork and its support therefore form a single piece,
ready to be installed in the dedicated backbox location.
No sheet that curls or warps, no improvised sandwich behind a glass panel:
here, the backglass is a fully rigid piece in its own right.

Depending on the model,
we offer artwork close to the original aesthetic
or alternative versions
that allow you to further change the appearance of the machine.
This is a particularly interesting solution for restoring a pinball machine
whose original backglass has deteriorated,
or simply for giving the backbox a completely new look.

A rigid 3 mm plexiglass panel

The Plexiglass Backglass
is manufactured from a
3 mm thick plexiglass panel.
This rigidity makes handling easier
and provides excellent stability once installed in the backbox.

When the machine is switched on,
the lighting inside the backbox shines through the designated areas of the artwork.
The colors,
contrasts and various graphic elements then reveal their full visual impact.

The result restores a bright,
clean and immersive backbox,
an essential part of a pinball machine’s visual identity.
After all,
a beautiful playfield beneath a tired-looking backglass
is a little like restoring a classic car and keeping the rusty hubcaps.

Why replace a Backglass?

• To replace a backglass that is damaged, scratched, cracked or aging.
• To restore a clean appearance to a pinball machine undergoing restoration.
• To replace an original part that has become difficult to find.
• To choose an alternative artwork and further customize the machine.
• To restore a bright backbox that remains visually consistent with the rest of the pinball machine.

Installing the Plexiglass Backglass

Installation remains straightforward,
but a plexiglass panel of this size should always be handled with care.
We recommend using both hands
and preparing a clean, stable area where you can safely place the old backglass.

1. Turn off your pinball machine completely and unplug it before beginning any work.
2. Unlock the backbox using the appropriate key for your machine.
3. Securely hold the existing backglass before releasing its retaining system.
4. Carefully remove it from its guides or housing, depending on the design of your pinball machine.
5. Take advantage of the access to thoroughly clean the inside of the backbox and remove any accumulated dust.
6. Also check the condition of the lighting to ensure the best possible result with the new backglass.
7. Remove any protective films from the new panel before installation.
8. Position the 3 mm Plexiglass Backglass in its designated location without forcing it.
9. Carefully slide it into the guides or supports provided for this purpose.
10. Check that it is correctly centered and make sure no excessive pressure is being applied to the plexiglass.
11. Reinstall the retaining system, then close and lock the backbox.
12. Switch the pinball machine back on and check the visual result with the backbox lighting activated.

Tips for the best possible result

• Never force the panel into a rail or support that is too tight.
• Handle the backglass by its edges to minimize fingerprints.
• Use only a soft microfiber cloth for cleaning and maintenance.
• Avoid abrasive products or solvents that could damage the plexiglass or artwork.
• Take advantage of the replacement to clean the backbox and check its lighting.
• Store your original backglass in a clean, dry and protected place if you want to be able to return the machine to its original configuration.

A restoration you can see even when the pinball machine is switched off

The backglass is one of the largest graphic surfaces on a pinball machine.
Replacing it can therefore instantly transform the overall appearance of the machine.
Once the backbox is illuminated,
the artwork gains even more depth thanks to the internal lighting.

Whether your goal is to
restore a vintage pinball machine,
replace a damaged backglass
or simply choose an alternative version,
our 3 mm Plexiglass Backglass for Pinball
provides a rigid,
clean and durable solution to restore the full character of your machine.
