    Hi all,

    I may be able to get A distributor to order some PDI glass for old school wide bodies. The PDI glass in unreal. This would fit games like Paragon, Space Invaders, Hot Doggin, Hot Spa, Embryon, etc. I have a Bally Paragon and thye don’t make this glass for those style games as their wide bodies are after 1990 which are about 24 inches wide. Paragon is 27.5 inches wide.

    Normally the company does not custom make this size of glass. But he is checking with his vendor for a Fall order. However, he would need at least 5 sheets made minimum order.

    The cost would be $365 plus shipping which is usually around $75 shipped anywhere on the US (sorry no non-US buyers). Would there be anyone who would want to go in on this order? I am dying to get PDI glass for my Paragon! But I do not want to buy 5 sheets of it.

    Cheers,
    Chris

    Hi Joe,

    No the length of those of over 48. Paragon is 43 inches. Unfortunately, they cannot do longer than 43 inches due to how the glass is dipped in chemicals to make it anti-glare optical glass. It doesn’t fit the tanks.

    I'm pretty sure the wide body sheets that Joey sells on his website will fit all WPC wide body, including that game. I have them in TZ and IJ.

    Yeah games like Paragon and Embryon are wider that WPC wide bodies. PDI glass for (e.g.) Wms IJ is readily available.

    What the OP wants isn't. But as someone who got in on the last group buy, I can say it did wonders for my Paragon. Love it.

    Here's hoping you get your quorum and enjoy the PRI glass.

    Good luck to op. One day; I'll convince myself I need PDI glass. Until them; I'll slum it with regular glass.

    I'm now a Paragon owner and interested in getting PDI glass for it.

    I'd be up for two sheets if anyone else is interested in a group buy for Bally super widebody size.

    EDIT:

    I just heard back from Joey at Pinball Decals and he has informed me that this size playfield glass is too big to fit in the PDI glass manufacturers' chemical dipping tanks and therefore unavailable.
