Elite or Spectra?

[autococker04]

I’ve been staring at these pictures for way too
long. Is the gray one an elite frame with a lens that has weirdly large tabs, or a spectra like the red one?

[BrickHaus]

Reds a spectra. Grey is elite. They had those tabs at one point.

For future reference, peep the lens height at rear corners. Elite is taller as the fov is cut down.

That’s good to know. These have been sitting on the Pittsburgh Craigslist for years, up dated weekly, for $5. I was about to buy them just because of how persistent the seller is.

Bottom mask is definitely worth $5 that’s an IZE frame on OG bottoms. Probably 75-100 sitting there depending on the foam condition.

Top picture is worth about $5

I used some misleading phrasing there. The elite ones are the ones that have been around forever. The spectra ones are just an old picture I grabbed from Google.

Ahhh got yah

[Cunha]

Yeah that’s an nVader a elite mask

thete is also the n Forcer a spectra mask.

in 2000 when I bought my first mask I couldn’t tell the difference so saved the five bucks and got the nVader. Bummer for me!

[autococker04]

Crazy how wildly popular one of them was compared to the other.

[nerdcore]

Every part of that mask is worth at least $5 each (minus the lens). Even the strap & ears.

Found another one, I think I heard something about silver masks of this style being spectra framed, and this looks like a spectra to me.

[Toestr]

Yep spectra. This is a clear frame.

[autococker04]

Toestr awesome! Looks like I’m going to have to make a trip
