[alt-photo] Re: repairing scratch in the glass over the vacuum frame

[Earl Johnson]

I have replaced the glass on both sides of my flip top Nuarc with Ace Hardware window glass with no apparent decrease in exposure times. On my unit, the glass is held in place by screws that are easily removed with the correct Allen wrench (hex key).

Definitely. In my part of the world, ordinary "el cheapo" (non treated 
- w/ titanium dioxide / zinc oxide or any other special processes...) 
float glass is transparent to UV. Anyway, it's easy to test with a 
small piece beforehand...
