Well worth it if you plan on keeping your machine.Most people comment on how clear it is and think that they can touch the playfield.

I am using PDI glass and Jacks look even clearer. ^^^

What are the shipping costs to Aus?

Landed in Brisbane presumably so add interstate shipping?

GST implications for any more than 3 sheets?

Not criticising the effort Ant, just want to know what kind of total price per sheet it will work out to.  ^^^

Glass will come in by container , I'm aiming for the initial sales to be high $300 to low $400 , depending on final O/S shipping cost ,I can provide gst invoice for people who want to claim back gst.

It was around the 350-400 mark but i ordered some standard, widebody and a set for my safe cracker.The freight is the killer, and they would only put two to three in a pack as the weight becomes to heavy.

When you see it in person, on a machine,next to one with standard glass it like chalk and cheese.

IMO it it still worth it on my cookie clutters ^^^

RR,

Here's a start:

These are just the trademark names that each company has laid claim to, so mention them to a professional glazier and they should know what you are talking about.

1. Amiran  - made in the US by Schott
http://www.us.schott.com/2009_architecture/english/products/non_reflective_glass/amiran/index.html

2. Viridian Optiview - Pilkington Glass division in Aus manufacture this so "could" be cheaper than importing depending on base price. (possibly limited in glass thickness as per website - 6.38mm standard pinball glass is 5mm)
http://www.viridianglass.com/Products/optiview/default.aspx?ProductType=Specifier

3. Luxar - made in Europe. (in various thicknesses)
http://www.hy-tech-glass.ch/en/products/anti-reflective-glass/luxar.html

I believe that in all cases it is simply glass with an anti-reflective coating applied (either through lamination or by dipping) to either one or both sides of the sheet of glass. Each company has their own method of application, so each has laid claims to a slightly variable anti reflective rate between 0.5 and 2.5%.  (97.5 to 99.5% anti reflective success rate.)

For comparison standard pinball glass is about 7-8% anti reflective. (92-93% anti reflective success rate.)

Hope this helps.  ^^^

I saw this glass being made apx 18 months ago at G.James Glass manufacturing in Brisbane when I was doing some electronic work at the huge factory. They also make it for Up market hi rise buildings etc so people can look out the windows and enjoy the view without the typical glare. At that stage there were no plans to make it in smaller sheets cause there wasnt a market for small panels.

I actually watched it being made in the furnace (like a 300 meter long pizza oven running at apx 3 thousand plus degrees celcius). I was told the secret to making it so strong and so crystal clear was a fine mix of gold dust, silver dust and titanium and a few other secret ingredients was added to the molten mix etc. I saw the various properties being added and it was very very expensive for these very large sheets etc.  I was lucky I got to see it being made. I dont know of anyone in Australia who supplies the correct thickness or glass size pinheads require.  I know Tony(ANT) has also thoroughly researched this, hence his bulk order to help people out in Australia.
(Imagine trying to import just one piece-forget it, the cost would be massive) The only way is a bulk order like ANT has done. I think the buy price he is offering is on the money.

YES, the glass looks absolutely T'riffic.  ^^^
