Well the first problem is that no one takes an "all caps" poster seriously. Your second problem is that you haven't posted your location - you could be in China for all I know.

Ahhh Leave the newb alone, Shardian.    If you can't find a backglass, you may have to find an image of it and tile print it and tape it together behind some plexiglass..  I remember seeing a post somewhere of someone who did that with another EM pin.  I dont remember who it was and I can't find the thread.

Much better! I did a search for the main suppliers for backglasses - no dice. I'll keep a lookout.

I would look into the program future pinball or pinmame, usually they have the backglass as a picture file.
You may be able to take this file and find someone who can print it out for you, I'm in the process of doing the same with my broken eightball backglass.

Not a perfect solution but will work until you can get a replacement
