On the G-40 through G-120, it's a piece of white, translucent,
accordion-folded, *thin* plastic.  I'd say paper-thin.  It's
the accordion folding that keeps it rigid.  On the G-200, there's
a thicker plastic filter supported by springs in the front.
It's painted in several colored stripes, but at least with mine,
the paint is almost opaque and it lets very little colored
light down onto the record changer.  You really only see it
reflected in the little colored metal sparkly-thingies on the
trip piece in back which conceals the horn.  I wonder if this
filter was always so dense, or if some chemical or photo
reaction over time caused it to lose transparency.  The color
strips look like they were painted on.
