Default Ekco U332 Burnt back

Gary, I think it will be difficult to find an intact back for your set a case of, "one burnt , all burnt". Once you have reduced the heat in the set it is possible to graft a corner in off another set. Please search for "DAC90 Backs" plenty on the subject. Two slight problems, your back is thinner than most of the cards out there, and there is a rivet to remove from the metal frame. On the plus side the slots are a standard size & spacing.

Good luck with it, John.

Hi John,

Many thanks for the response, I appreciate it. I will look at the DAC90a threads.

No its a DAC90 the two sets are very different, the "A" version do not suffer from burnt backs.
