new glass is a cheap way to make your game pop. I treat my games to glass as a welcome home gift

Call around with measurements and you should be able to find a tempered glass quote under $30 each for sure and sometime around $15 a sheet

Local glass supply house, $55. 43X21 3/16 thick tempered. Here is a picture of my original glad all scratched to hell. I think the guy before me used the pin as a parts counter in his garage.

I put new glass on all machines. Still have about 4-5 sheets from the last order waiting for soon to be new to me machines

Just put new glass on my F-14 and T2 today. Made the world of a difference. I managed to find some locally at a good price. Should have done it a long time ago.

I have no excuse being 45 minutes away from PinballLife. I wonder if it's easy to give old glass away. I would hate to just throw it out.

Make a video on what happens when you break the glass and how fun it is to clean up, and also how you find pieces months later.

Search for invisiglass or PDI threads and you'll likely find Neo's viewpoint on price/performance ratio.

I offered my old out to our league, have had like 30 sheets at least go that way, rather than the dump.

Well the smart way to break it is to get a box, put it in then hit the box with a hammer. Then cut the box down with the broken glass inside, tape it closed and put in trash. No muss no fuss.

I was thinking more of a PSA on what happens when you aren't careful when pulling the glass on your machine. Or when you just have bad luck.

is that your swords of fury??? that would be neat that two people in Saskatchewan have this great title!!

#19 9 years ago

I just put it in a contractor type thick garbage bag, then put a second bag over the glass form the top tuck the upper bag into the lower bag hit top edge of the covered glass, the upper bag funnels all the glass into the lower bag.

Sorry no LIONMAN!, just F-14. But, I really enjoy F-14 even if it's shallow and fast.
