@cooldan & @johnwhitfield I've just spoken with my friend who I normally ride with and hes actually on holiday on July 26th so Julians sounds like a good option. I take it he's at @Julian on here? Will be nice to put faces to the names of regulars on here.
I will be at Julian's also, and would be keen to collect and pay on the day as well.
Matt, John I am planning to pop over and collect mine tomorrow so Tuesday 14 July, I can get yours also if you like.
yes I'm interested in a sheet from the next batch, thanks
and mine please Jules!
Aaron is top bloke, and has a lovely collection, I also got to play Banzi Run for the first time and loved it (any spread-betters out there put a punt on BR prices going up).
Aaron once again thanks for doing all the leg-work in getting this glass, I put 1 in Judge Dredd last night and fu%$ me sideways, I could swear that I had forgotten to put the glass on they are THAT good!
I'd say a better than Invisiglass in my WOZ.
Having collected John's, Dan's and my glass I have never driven so slow....

Got my sheet from Julian's this weekend. Big thanks to Aaron for arranging this. Glass looks fantastic.
If I didn't have cats I think I'd be upgrading all my machines as it makes such a difference.
Only slight downside is I think the glass is a little thicker than standard. I had to play with the back channel to get it fully in. Julian was also saying it didn't sit in some of his newer Sterns. Any one else have this issue?
Thanks again Aaron.

Damn I thought this whole thing was just a scam, pictured Aaron holding his empty hands out pretending to put the sheets onto your back seat.
I actually could not put the PDI glass into Simpsons Pinball party or Elvis both 2004 machines, as it was so tight, not the back channel but about an inch away from that, it was so tight I was almost unable to push the glass on anymore!
I decided not to force the glass on as I'd never get the bugger off again, and that would not be good for a pinball machine.
Any idea how to make the left and right channels a little wider?
FYI It did fit a 2004 Ripley's

FYI - Fits in Tron perfectly.
Had to give it a good clean though.

Thats a bit of a pain with the glass being tight in some machines, sounds like it could just be some Sterns around that age. PDI glass is 5mm and standard spec is 3/16" which converts to 4.7625mm. The standard stuff must be a really tight fit too on those machines?
The glass went into TAFG and was. Tight, but they are new glass channels.
Fitted perfectly into Spider-Man and was practically invisible. Very impressed.
I've still got two from the last buy. Need to get them installed, defo ones going in TWD.
How is everyone cleaning this glass? I'm aware that is has a coating and that certain glass cleaners could damage it - is there a commercial product out there which is suitable?
Nice reminder, I still need to get over to @carl lawrence and pick mine up....sorry Carl
I'd go for water spray and a micro fibre cloth, that's what you're supposed to use on LCD TVs which also have a coating you don't want to damage!
Are there any wide body sheets still available?

Unfortunately all of the sheets from the first batch are not gone or spoken for, however....

Due to popular demand I'm planning to bring in a second batch of PDI glass. I was hoping to be able to get it here in time for the NLP however due to heavy work commitments over the last month or two have let it slip. After emailing Roman last week I understand the lead time on more glass is about 5 weeks. I'm going to ask if anything can be done to bring it forward but for the time being its best to assume it won't be possible to avoid disappointment!
Anyway I'd like to try and get numbers together quickly this time so I can get an order together asap. It seems a lot of people visit the forum daily if not every other day so hopefully this shouldn't be a problem. I'd like to place an order this week, most likely Wednesday. I'll be ordering up a few spare sheets but if you want glass then get your requirements to me asap to avoid disappointment as if the last batch is anything to go by they will be allocated quickly.
I'm going to be starting a brand new list as of now so please let me know what you would like either by PM or in this thread even if you have expressed interest in the second batch previously.
Pricing will be a little higher than last time as its quite a bit of work to bring it in and get it where it needs to go etc. SafeCracker and Standard will be £135 a sheet, and Widebody £145. If you want lots of glass then I'm prepared to discount this a bit depending on how much you want and how quickly you intend to collect it etc.
