Hi:
I have a Williams Whitewater pin and I broke the glass that covers the translite poster.  Does anyone know where this glass can be purchased in Toronto area?  I assume its tempered since it broke into about a thousand pieces.
Thanks!

Any glass shop, you just have to give them the dimensions (which I don't have with me at the moment) and 5mm or 3/8" thhickness, arris edges.  I will have some again in the Summer, but I am concentrating on finding a new wholesale glass supplier at the moment.

Sorry it may be thinner, I don't have my glass notes with me.  I'd have to check on Saturday when I return, then I'd have the full details.  I only ever sold maybe 4 sheets of WPC backglass in the last 2 years, so the info's not on the top of this 40-something's noggan.

thanks for the info!  
It was pretty thin glass - not as thick as playfield glass for sure.

As I recall, I've seen them thick and thin, but if someone reminds me on Saturday, I can dig up my notes and tell you.

Yes sorry I was getting mixed up with a recent purchase I made for a Stargate.  

The WPC backglasses, for the most part are 18 7/8" x 27" x 1/8" (double thick) tempered glass is preferred but not absolutely necessary.
