Just print this pdf out *without* any scaling on 8.5"x11" paper and you should be able to get a pretty good corner radius measurement just by holding the paper under the corner you would like to measure.

I stumbled upon this while pricing out replacement glass for my Asteroids cocktail. Feel free to chime in if there's a better (read: easier) way or if this is already well known :)

Cheers
 
+1. What was your Asteroids radius? I am going to have to get one for my Millipede cab eventually.

See the thread on my Asteroids cocktail restoration. I posted dimensions for the top wood panel as-well-as the top glass last night. I measured a radius of 1/2 inches.

If anyone has a chance, please verify my measurements.

Note: Make sure you get tempered, clear glass, with no logo and a penciled (~beveled) edge.

Watch my thread--I'm currently in the process of pricing out glass and I'll also update the thread with how well my glass measurements line up with the original (it was *very* close to X + 3/4" in both dimensions, but it seemed the "width" dimension was maybe a 1/32" off from the 3/4" measurement point) once I get the repro made.
