I all, this is my first post, its a sad day for me...I have a Snappy Viper machine and some of the artwork has come away from the glass leaving it cracked and crinkled. Im gonna have to replace the entire glass if I can find one. Does anyone know where I can get the exact artwork for this game? It seems to be a very brittle sticker that sticks to the glass panel so if I can make a new stronger one it would be good. Thanks

There is not a lot you can do to repair/preserve peeling, flaking or brittle artwork unfortunately. Any attempt to do so could even damage it even more.

You will just have to keep looking for replacements for the time being.
You could try asking on The MPU Mecca as more people on there have older machines and parts.
Artwork generally deteriorates through extremes of heat or cold, and damp.
This is a great classic machine so good luck with restoring it!

Yeah, as AA says, there's very little that can be done to repair it unfortunately 
The only way to make it better is to replace the glass. They don't come up very often but they are out there. Ask at the Mecca - someone may even sell you one!!
