I need a source for new glass for a Missile Command cocktail table. I believe this is the same glass for Asteroids.

In lieu of glass, if someone could supply dimensions, complete with the radius of curvature of the corners, that would be great.
 
The original glass that I have appears to be screen printed on the rear (at least I'm pretty sure there's no underlay. And the second table I have (with missing glass) doesn't have anything printed on it's top.). It's the same SIZE as asteroids, but the original won't be identical.

Mine appears to measure 31 11/16 x 23 11/16, with a corner radius exactly the same as the underlying table (I don't know how to properly measure the corner radius). It overlaps the t-molding just a bit all around.

I'm curious how much you end up paying for a replacement. My other MC table needs new glass, and I've been trying to decide whether to to with tempered glass or perhaps plexiglass (the other table was empty of boards when I got it, so I'm just maming that one, which means I don't care about any underlay).
 
You know...if I remember correctly (and I cant remember what I had for dinner today)...I think Todd at TNT had one in a box of stuff he brought to the pinball show in Allentown. It wasn't in bad shape and I considered buying it for my Asteroids ct, just to have something until the right one came around.

If not you can just get a piece of tempered made up like I prob will - I found a glass shop right here in town thats reasonable.

Do you know how much they charged you? When I'm ready (not nearly there yet), I'm certainly going to ask Todd first, but I'd like an idea of what plain tempered glass should cost me, as a starting point.
 
I didn't get it yet, and I've been meaning to get over to the place to talk to them about it but can never seem to get over there. Now my days are booked clear through the next week and weekend just about. Grrrr.
 
I have only Dig Dug, Stargate, Donkey Kong, and Pacman or Galaxian cocktail table glasses left now---but they all have surface scratches on them as usual---but cheap $10 each...haven;t had a Missle Command in years, but what works well, since its woodgrain on the top, is a piece of clear plexiglass ---doesn;t look bad at al...other option is smoked plexi for the entire top.
I cannot ship the cocktail glass---its too much of a pain! Todd from TNT
