I have a Pin2K vpin and its awesome. I am using an original pin2k glass. I got the glass cheap from a friend since it was scratched, but it works fine on my cab. Its about 1/3 tinted at the top and clear the rest of the way. If I was going to do it myself, I would tint it maybe 1/4 of the way from the top with the NightShades product available at autostores.
Quoted from RandyW:I am getting ramped up for my build of a Digital Pin sim in a custom P2K Cabinet.. And while shopping for parts, I realized just how EXPENSIVE the glass is for these!! So, being the DIY out of the Box kind of thinker I am paid to be.. I started postulating ideas as to how to replicate it.
I can't find a good picture of the glass itself, but it seems to me, it is just tempered glass, with the top 3/8's having a mirrored tint on it, like you see on cars these days. If that is the case, my local glass shop could replicate it for about $60.
Could someone that has a Pinball 2000 look at their glass and confirm this one way or the other for me? And if it is tint, does anyone know the percentage of the tinting?
Thanks!Randy
