I was really hoping CPR would re-run the backglass with this playfield 
I lucked into a pretty reasonable Medusa yesterday. It arrives with my buddy from Montreal on March 5th.
The playfield is actually really nice. No need to replace... But it has a proto backglass that someone has decided to modify. Each score window has been extended (as in art scraped away) and the numbers 1-4 were added. Just a dumb move.
If anyone out there has a glass they'd be willing to sell, let me know.
Quoted from meSz:Try to contact Mayfair Amusement http://www.mayfairamusement.com/backglasses.html as their site reflects they have one! Would be better to find a used or NOS one as the CPR ones aren't the best!
I know Shay's Arcade Group had announced that they will start to making Bally backglasses soon as well. This will be great as Shay's does the silk-screening!!!
I'm hoping Shay can turn out a decent Fathom glass as I'm in the process of making one from scratch... well, almost.
For Medusa I'm less picky. I just can't figure out why someone would have damaged my current glass just to add player numbers?
Quoted from meSz:WTF?? Sad thing is that glass looks nice, what I can see of it!! You said it's the proto version as well???
It is the proto for sure... and looks to be original. Otherwise perfect too
Quoted from meSz:From your picture it looks as though they just put a sticker on the front of the glass! You said that they scratched the back though?
Yes, back is scratched off. I won't physically receive the machine until March 5th so I only have photos for now.
Quoted from meSz:In the Mr. Pinball Classifieds today a guy has a NOS Medusa Backglass for $400
Backglasses for sale - Prefer local pick up - shipping not included
NOS Bally Medusa - $400

Thanks, but I actually found someone with a spare CPR and will be grabbing that. Substantially less than $400 (which in Canadian dollars is closer to $600 at the moment )
Now I just have to try and get a hold of BobLangelius to try and get some repro targets!
Quoted from Captive_Ball:Nice score Drano! Now get back to work on your Fireball II.......er Fathom
Thinking I may convert this Medusa into another Fathom 
The FBII cab is awaiting some epoxy primer to seal it all up nice and smooth and I'll be painting the Fathom art on it within the next few days with any luck. Will post more updates soon.
