I remember playing this pin when I was 13 years old and have not seen one in years. I had the flyer to still look at from the sales person in Nashville that used to call and visit to sell us pins. As luck would have it, I could not sleep one night and saw John had posted this pin for sale at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/rec.games.pinball. I had a few dealing both buying and selling with John so emailed and called as I really wanted the pin. I was curious to see how it stands up to how I remembered it. Often tv shows and such things from our youth are not as good as we remembered them but I think its better today, as I understand how the shots work better now. I wished this artist could have done more pinball work as the few others he made were also great looking. The backglass brings you over but the play of the pin keeps you playing. Just wanted to thank John for working with me on pickup as I could not come or send someone until the snow stopped and now Spring seems to be coming but it still snowing here. Good weather is coming! Pics of the Viper below. I will have it set up at the showroom and if anybody wants to see and try it just PM and visit for some time with Viper.

Good price! Its really unique.

I saw pictures of a Viper at http://www.pinrepair.com/bally/viper.html as it has a wear spot above the left flipper, just like the one I got from John. I always find it interesting where pins start out and end up.
