Glass or plastic front

[wally]

I'm restoring an old Sanyo Bussan pachinko machine. There are two groves in the front for protection. One came empty and the other had a piece on thin plastic that is broken and needs replaced. What should I replace these with? Do I need to fill both slots, if so is one plastic and the other glass?

Thanks, Wally

paper or plastic ? thats the real question!

either way is fine, 2 pieces would make the pachinko quieter, but one is fine too.

Originally it would be 2 pieces of glass. I use lexan when I do mine, because it is lighter, and seems a little quieter when the balls bounce off of it.
Two panes is the way to go either way tho.

I used 2 sheets of Lexan on mine. They look good and were quietier.
