How about some anti-glare glass on your pin......looks awesome !
Xiaou2:
If it is the anti-glare that is made for glasses... it
very well wont last on the inside of a machine - where the ball at times is
launched into the glass.
As for the top? Well, that would really depend on if you have children... and or
how good you are about keeping people from leaning on it with their jewlery.
As well as how delicately you clean it.
From what Ive experienced... I got a pair of overpriced glasses at the mall, and
the coating scratched off in a weeks time with very little effort done to deserve it.
However, I later went to another place, which told me that the mall stores use
a quick process that does not do a good job bonding the coating. The new
glasses Ive gotten are a over 2yrs old and the coating hasnt scratched off.
(Im also pretty hard on them.. using my shirt to clean them instead of a special
cloth)
I also have doubts that a sheet of glass would survive the trip from Germany to a
usa doorstep.
I agree. 100$ range is feasible. More than that is just too much.

Level42, I don't know where you got $179 and $195. The price as given on RGP is OVER $300.
Here is the excerpt:
"Normal Size: $264.99 plus shipping
Wide Body: $274.99 plus shipping
Shipping is estimated from USA to USA to be around $30-$35 fully
insured."
It is really cool and I would love to have a piece on my Indiana Jones but $315 or close for a piece of glass is just wacky. Remember, A standard piece of tempered glass can be had for under $50.
Get it down to $150 delivered and I'd make the stretch though.
Visitor Q:
What makes this glass so special, I mean what I am getting at is can't it just be cut and ordered locally?
koolmoecraig:
From what I understand, it is basically the glass that is used on the front of high-end plasma and LCD TV's.
Being that there are no TV's made in America that use the stuff it has to be imported. Not to mention cut to the specific pinball size.
