Cocktail glass - 1/4" or 3/16" thick?
<< < (3/3)

Trust Ken.

I am not sure about the Midway cocktail as I have an Atari cocktail and I can assure you there is no way in hell I could fit a 1/4" piece of glass on the cabinet with the stock clips.  The only solution would be to get custom clips made.

While we're talking glass, I recently purchased graylite 14 tempered for my project, and apparently the option for 3/16th doesn't exist.  I opted for the 1/4th instead, but this was new to me, since I'm new to glass.

3/16" - damn.  Oh well, I trust Ken and I certainly don't want to make my own clips...

Just measured an original galaga top and it is right in between 3/16" and 1/4" ...so lets call it 7/32".  The glass I bought for my custom built cocktail was 1/4" and it's actual measurement is the same: 7/32".  The replacement midway clips that are available work perfect with it.  Got them here: http://www.mantisamusements.com/mrspacnos.htm

I would recommend getting 1/4" glass.

Really?  Cool.  I think deep down I want the 1/4" glass to give the top a little weight.  Worst case scenario is that I have to make my own clips somehow (OK, that's a terrible scenario) but if those clips you linked to allow for a 1" tabletop and 1/4" glass then I'll be all set.
