I was pulling the glass out and it exploded. Real mess !! so if the place i bought from does not make good, Any recommendations on how to replace?

Are you talking about the playfield glass? Most major pinball suppliers carry it, though not all of them ship it. You can also go to just about any glass shop if you have the dimensions (including thickness). Just make sure to specify that it's tempered glass, don't use plate glass for safety reasons.

At least it wasn't a back glass. That would have been rough

always wear shoes when pulling a PF glass out
hope no one got hurt - late night runs to the ER sux

No one hurt but I was bare foot drinking beer. Glass got in the beer ( that really got me). Lots of problems with the machine ( see mystic ball problem post) . Now I got to see if I can get the place i bought it to help. If not this is going to require a lot of surgery. Luckily this place has been around for a long time. We will see . BSD is a great game tho.

Sounds like something out of a nightmare!!!! Sorry to hear about that, I have heard a few people now say this has happened to them. I try to be as careful as possible taking the glass off now that would suck! Just seeing BR's pictures made me reach for a cold beer.

What a mess,I have been kind of rough with the glass in the past.Will be more careful.

#12 12 years ago

From now on I am wearing shoes for sure. I never thought of this happening.

Generally tempered glass is tough head on, its weakness is on the edges and it don't take much. As long as you dont bind it or scrape the sides when installing/removing you should be ok. I have seen glass panels at our shop on the rack just explode for no explainable reason, not often but it can happen. Just my 2 cents
