Right ... I'll save you $10,000 (presuming you have 33 pins)
1/ Some of the new Sterns do reflect on the glass. Avengers is pretty bad. Austin powers was too. Get some painters masking tape and mask up one side of the Flouro tube. The side facing the translite. Cost - maybe 50c. Saving - $299.50 per machine
2/ your BW games reflecting on the glass? I can't say I have had that problem to be honest. If you do, simply remove some of the translight bulbs. A lot of these BW games have too many bulbs anyway, and they make too much heat. Remove some. Less glare, less heat. Winner.
3/ you got really carried away and put SFB LEDS in the backbox. Take them out. They look awful. 30 tiny round bright lights on your translight. GHASTLY. Replace them with frosted retro dome tops. They are more subtle and won't glare on the glass.
4/ your room lighting is all wrong. Fix it. Directional track lighting with dimmable halogen bulbs is ideal. You can dim them to a pleasant level (I like it right in the middle ... Not dark, not bright) You can direct the bulbs away from the glass. This lighting is pretty cheap .. About the same price as a couple of sheets of expensive glass.
There! I hope I have saved you all some money.
Money is hard to come by. Hang on to it as long as you can
