Has the supply of Pinball 2000 playfield glass dried up? I know for a while there was plenty of supply of pinball 2000 glass but lately I haven't seen it in stock anywhere.

If it is truly something that is becoming unobtainium, is there any vendor that might want to step up to try to reproduce it? It is just a play-field glass with a partial tint, which I am sure someone could produce.

Maybe we could start a list of who is looking for replacement glass or who wants to have a space piece on hand.

This is a good source for anyone in the chicago area. Thanks for sharing! I wonder how many Anthony has left.

The trick to the glass is it is partially tinted. Only the top half contains the tint and it gets darker as it goes up the glass.

Maybe someone can develop some sort of gradient tinted overlay that can get applied to the top half of standard playfield glass. Maybe on top of the glass if that prevents the doubling aspect.

Might be a case of good enough for a replacement even if it isn't a perfect solution. Sounds like the cost of making a run of actual glass would be too high.

I was looking online at tint products and I didn't see any that gradient the tint between shades, the idea of a roll on product might be dead right there.

The question if we find someone to manufacture the glass is how many units would be needed for a run and what the costs would be. If it is an exact match, patent licensing would come into play as well.

We would then need to find out how many people would be willing to pre-order glass and then how it would be distributed!

If anyone has any idea of what manufacture would have the capability of even making these glasses it would be worthwhile.

Bumping this thread back up in hopes that someone might know someone who might be able to possibly manufacture this part. Lots of mights

Also great research Altan. It seems tough to prove the glass itself is patented.
