How to make Glass?

The Best! What a great gift idea...

No how to get all my friends to read this.... hmmmmmmm

I've also used a local printer.  I had him print the reel strips on photo paper and the glass graphics on opaque plastic with his printer set to put out the most ink possible.  I then sandwiched the plastic between 2 1/8 pieces of glass.  The Express work is superior though.

Any idea how much belly glass would be? Just an estimate before I call them..

$50
$100
$500?

I don't know.  Give em a call.  JR

you know... My haywire deluxe has the same thing! The double bar is a bit different color than the double bar nudge. I wonder if it a repo?

Mine had the same thing as well -- I recall there was some discussion about it on the old site, but I don't remember if anyone ever figured out exactly why it was that way.  I was fortunate enough to eventually come across a set of IGT reel strips for the game (the bars are the same color, nudge or not), so I'm happy.

I'm glad it doesn't bother me.... I have a touch of OCD and things not in line or different colors can freak me out.   For me I only consider getting the hit when I get all the symbols the same.  So I am not happy unless I get 3 double bars with the lightning symbol or 3 without the symbol -  mix and match causes me to take a drink.

That happens to me from time to time as well; things that don't line up perfectly bother me. I have Tourette's, and it is part of the family of OCD disorders.


I checked my original Haywire Deluxe strips, and the double bars are actually orange, although there is a slight hint of brown in the orange. All of them, nudge or not, are the same color and match the original glass, but don't exactly match the reproduction glass from EI. (I bought a 9" 3cm repro top to extend my original 2cm RT)

Speaking of slot glass.
Here's an interesting link if you want to see what all of IGT's decal inserts look like.

One of these days I'll find an original IGT reel strip set, the ones from EI are close enough for now.

StatFreak I have Tourette's, too, but it only manifests itself when I hurt myself bad, like missing the head of  the nail and hitting one of my fingers with a hammer.

Thankfully, I've never had coprolalia. Maybe I shouldn't have disclosed that. Now I won't be able to get away with swearing at the BBQ bashes!   The tics were awful until about the age of 26-28. Since then they've come and gone but have been mild enough that most people don't notice.

I didn't have the heart to tell you.

I have to say - I looked at both the Haywire Deluxe reels and glass and the glass is EXACTLY  the same as the reels - the double bar with lightning is slightly lighter than the plain double bar.

Is the glass repro too? My original glass has the same orange (with hint of brown) color for all double symbols, glass and strips.

PS: Have you tried covering the lightning bolt and comparing the visible portion of the double bar colors side by side. The color of the bolt might be fooling your eye.

[jdkmunch]

I don't know if the kit is a repo or not -  It is stunning either way

I did cover up the bolt to see if was throwing off my eye but it isn't -   both the glass and the strips match - the lightning bolt is slightly lighter
