Hi All,

Where are people in the Melbourne area going for their playfield glass?

Thanks, SV.

You can measure your glass and get a local Glazier to order that size in tempered glass or try contacting a local pinball seller.
I get glass from Tony at The Pinball Warehouse here in Qld as he usually has ready to go sheets, a local Glazier will take a few days to have it prepared.

Cheers: Brettski... :)

If you are not in a hurry, a number of people will have sheets available towards the end of the year, as there are a few group buys of pdi glass coming from Europe shortly.

I bought glass from Wayne a few years ago
I think it was $40 per sheet

Seems like most of the pinball places are charging $80 now. I bought one sheet while I was down at Zax playing Full Throttle yesterday. McKie1 - I'll take your advice and wait until people want to offload their regular glass later in the year to get some more, thanks.

There's a glazier called "John" in tullamarine. I used to have his number but I can't find it. He sold glass sheets for $35. I bought a few and they are perfect. If anyone has his number - either post or PM - his glass was really good.

Did anyone get their PDI glass and have a spare sheet of standard glass? Looking for an "as new" piece, otherwise will buy a new one.

Thanks, SV

I am led to believe the shipment only just left Germany and is hopefully on its way now :)
