Need some advice please
I have two HGT back glasses
The one of the left is from a machine I just purchased
The one on the right I bought from ebay 15 years ago from a guy who parted out a machine
The colors on the left one appear a bit dull and the back of the glass is pretty brown
The colors on the right one are super vibrant and the back of the glass is really clean!
I'm worried that the one on the right may be a repro? or could it just be in amazing condition?
Really need some experts to chime in with their opinion - much appreciated
Thanks!

There both originals. Bally was cranking out games like crazy during that period and some times used more then one backglass screener so that might be why it's slightly different in colors. It's probably more due to one on the left being in the sun, perhaps the game sat close to a window for many years? Hard to pin point it exactly but they are both originals.

To me they both look like the real deal, just better color/less fade on the one on the right. You're lucky to have a spare. I wish I had a spare for my Comet. I picked up a free Comet about 8 years ago that had no boards and no back glass. Like an idiot I sold the play field after stripping most of the top of it. Wish I'd kept it.

Edit, John beat me to it as I was typing!
