um shipping is going to be expensive for glass products, just saying the obvious. Think about it you want a sheet of glass to be shipped to you in one piece right?

any local glass shop can do it fore you. Shouldn't cost more than 35.00.

I called and got quotes from several glass shops in my area and they all were pretty expensive. In the end, it was much cheaper to order the 2 pack from pinball life. I think it was around $95 dollars shipped for two

I would call a few shops. I can get a piece of 1/4" Starphire glass (low iron) for like $88. Starphire costs a good bit more then regular float glass. Make sure you ask them for a seamed edge (sanded edges) and nothing like beveled or anything else. When you start having edgework done on glass the price will jump up a lot. On that $88 piece of Statphire it jumped up to $176 when I asked about a beveled edge.

For that 1/4" Starphire one shop quoted me $140 and another quoted me $88.

this guy is not too too far from you http://www.pinballglass.com/id25.html

+1, called two local shops, Pinball Life beat the price by about $10/sheet including shipping, and the PL glass is dead PERFECT.

Steve, I had the exact same experience here. I'll ask in the DFW Pinball Club if anyone knows.

marcospecialties.com sells them, and shipping is reasonable. My Embryon PF glass is $89 plus 12.99 for 3 day fedex. Thats for a widebody glass too.

Still gonna research local guys though, it cant be that expensive can it??

Check with Doc Doom to see if he's still doing it--I got two standard sheets shipped to my door about 1.5 years ago for $68:

Call "Fun!" in Mesquite. I've bought glass from them before. Not sure if it's always in stock.

That's interesting...even if it was 40-50 bucks would be cheaper than shipping. Thanks.

See if any Pinsiders local to you have an extra sheet available for sale.
I was fortunate enough to get a common tempered sheet that way for less than $30.
Note that person I bought glass from got several sheets at a pinball expo/festival.

Just checked with my local glass place across town. $42 bucks for a widebody tempered glass. Much more reasonable than the 80-90 plus shipping off Marcospecialties. Only drawback is they have to order it, but the price is more than reasonable for a widebody glass. standard pin glass prolly be less.

Not in my area. But I did by a Sheet from Phoog and it was $37 and he delivered to me also. best I was able to find as far as price. Since he was a member here and into pinball he knew his stuff. Usually glass shops look at you confused when you say its for a pinball machine.

My local glass shop was expensive when I needed a sheet a few years ago.

It should be 3/16 thick, not 1/4.

I stocked up when a bunch of other local collectors went in together a few years ago on a couple thousand sheets. That was back when containers were popular. It got down uber cheap - and I still have a few sheets left luckily.
