Quoted from JIM_Z:I joined a year in the hobby,what took so long? sucks cleaning that up......
Lol! Yeah I guess I'm late to the "party"! ~Spooks
Well you have a hole in the middle so try putting something under the glass that hasn't fallen yet that will catch the glass as it falls.
Quoted from SpOoKyRiDeS:Yup'..... First time in 16 years in the hobby! Just pulled on the glass to change a friggin' bulb.... And....... BLAMO! The best part is, with each attempt to pull out the glass in large pieces, it crumbles even more. Sigh.....~Spooky
Yes it happened to me . It really sucks . I marked thumbs down because it is a real drag . So why would one mark thumbs up. Get the shop vac out . Good luck .
Quoted from PEN:Twice, but never in a game.
Please, don't tell me that. I have two sheets of glass sitting on carpet, like 3 ft. from there!~Spooks
Wow -
Game Plan pins already don't get love. And you throw this on top of that. No one will ever want another GP pin again (more for us!)
You have my sympathies having to clean that up.

i would totally want a GP i played a sharpshooter for the first time. I love the 2 pops by the flipper.

I always keep glass away from anywhere someone could hit it or knock it over, but....as they say $^!# happens.

Mark it a thumb up since it didnt happen to you (again) or me!
Positive vibes dude!
Quoted from SpOoKyRiDeS:Just pulled on the glass to change a friggin' bulb.... And....... BLAMO!
So what caused the glass to pop? Did it get in a bind or catch as you pulled it out? Hit the edge on metal, etc?
Or does this happen randomly for unknown reasons, like every time you move glass you have a 0.1% chance of destruction.

your bad luck is behind you now.

Thumbs down for having to look at your pecs.
Damn... and from what I can see, that looks like a real clean Sharpshooter. Man your caps are white! Mine are a 90's computer era of yellow now lol.

It is, and I may have a few more clean caps kicking around here. Send me a pm,maybe I can help you out. gotta gain some damn good pin karma! ~Spooks
All is now fine folks, the cleanup is underway. Live, laugh, and learn. Sharp Shooter will be fine. Thought it funny to share, and I laughed at myself many times at this thread. Thanks to all for the smiles!~Spooks

Thanks Rob... I'll be donating free Sharp Shooter pop caps in your name. ~Spooks
Ouch I did that exactly the same way. It was 15 minutes before a birthday party was to take place in the game room. I did the shop vac thing and pulled glass out of the game for the next several days it went everywhere in the game. Good luck!
