New Astro insert glass holder

[erzane]

Good Evening to everyone,
I get one of these insert glass in pretty good shape with its holders. One of them looks to have a protective sheet missing. I guess that sheet is there to avoid the steel hurts the glass. Do you have it on both of your holders?
Btw, since my holders are quite rusty, if any of you does have some in better shape (maybe including the protective) I'd be interested.
Thanks!

If you’re worried. Just tape the back with something similar. Just go to a hardware store and have a look.

Yaton has them in stock atm: https://www.ebay.com/itm/393086502248

Thanks for your help but these ones from Yaton aren't originals. Bad solder points, internal corners are angular and not rounded, also there is no reference (CON-1057). Btw, I'm looking for original parts, not any basics from ''hardware stores'' or chinese craps (no offense).

No offense taken, but honestly, you're not going to find that original "protective" piece of paper behind the glass clamp. It's why I suggested going to a hardware store. Perhaps you could find some paper with an adhesive back that would do the job. It's not like anyone is ever going to see it.

If you're that concerned about it though, put up a WTB thread up here and on some other sites and keep hunting around eBay until a set of originals turn up. Good luck!

It's a plastic, not paper. Yeah I'll make a WTB thread, thanks!

if it is plastik you could cut up one of those plastik foil folders that are used for documents. You could probably even use a hole puncher for documents to do nice holes into that plastik foil.
With this arcade stuff you sometimes have to think outside of the box to find solutions. If you want everything 100% original you will go crazy
