Quoted from gdonovan:The backglass look like a trans light yes?
Looks like it. A quick search pulled this up:

Quoted from CreepyTom:Ad listing: For sale: Viper
What is your actual asking price?
This exact machine was for sale a few years ago. The old backglass must have blown out https://pinside.com/pinball/market/classifieds/ad/73746

really looks like a screened backglass to me. there's texture on the paint. maybe i'm wrong.
is that playfield an overlay? looks too shiny and untouched to be original.
Quoted from bigehrl:looks too shiny and untouched to be original.
I was thinking it was restored and/or cleared.
I don't recall seeing that a viper overlay had been produced.

yeah, i was wondering about that. was thinking the same. but looks like one. i suppose it's possible that it's just that nice.

did they maybe have an acrylic or plexi top like Elektra?

Hmmm..from what I recall, it seemed like a normal playfield.
I'd imagine there's less than 200 of these still in existence out of the original 400 that were made. Very limited profit potential for someone looking to make an overlay or some sort of hard top, and that's leaving out the fact that finding a playfield to scan would probably be an adventure. I remember reading somewhere that these didn't do well on location - it's possible this just didn't get a lot of play and a hobbyist decided to clear coat it at some point.
has anyone heard from this guy? I assume he is just taking highest bidder. Seems like most pinside ads are auctions these days. I guess we can call it Pinbay now.

Yes, I heard back. He is taking highest bidder. Pretty much bs that they allow this to happen.
