Curse of Clay Cowgill - Chronical of Carnage

The summer of 1994 I remember stripping two water logged Space Duels in
an alley behind an op's warehouse. Jump forward to March of 2006 where
someone on vectorlist needs a Space Duel glass. Of course, I lay out
the two *best* pieces of glass on a table for comparison. I went to
shimmy between the Tempest and the table you see in the picture,
accidentally bump one glass into the edge of the other and...

..."BLAM" as Clay writes below, is quite an apt description of the
sound. In my case however, the glass exploded everywhere.

Oh well, at least I finally have something to post to the vectorlist.

Subject: VECTOR: Space Duel monitor glass? Anyone?

*sigh*

My Space Duel at Ground Kontrol had a spontaneous "safety glass
activation" a couple nights ago. :-(

(We had rearranged games a week ago and I think Space Duel's cabinet was
a little 'torqued' with sitting on a uneven section of floor... All of
the sudden a couple nights ago there was a "blam!"... Nobody was in the
arcade at the moment, but it was tracked down to Space Duel's monitor
glass. Totally spider-webbed. We lucked out that it didn't collapse
though! We managed to get packing tape applied all over the front face,
open the control panel, and actually lift it out of the cabinet pretty
much all in one piece. Made cleanup a lot easier!)

We're going to replace it with some smoked plexiglass for the arcade for
now, but I'd like to buy an original glass if anyone has a spare or a
junked cabinet you want to part out.

Toss me an email with your price... info@multigame.com

Thanks!
