I had an email conversation with Wade Krause yesterday about making Centigrade 37 playfields. All we need is the commitment from 20 people for this project to happen. He has about 4 to do after Atlantis, but now is the time to get it in his queue!

If you are interested, pm me your contact info (name & email address) and I'll post an updated count list as we move forward.

I am in for one, are you? 19 more commitments needed.

#5 8 years ago

After Knock Out / Atlantis he mentioned: Sky Jump and 2001, then Jumping Jack. A few other possibilities including System 80 widebody titles and Cross Town.

He's a busy man!

#7 8 years ago

Hi Joe. Yes, it is in pretty nice shape. Dave (Boilerman) did a cabinet repaint, cleaned up the wiring, put a counter in, replay unit, etc and it's looking/playing fantastic. Thanks again for selling it to me. I just love it! By the time this would get made, I'll probably be ready for a swap.

#9 8 years ago

We have 6 so far... 14 to go!

#10 8 years ago

Bump for anyone else interested in one of these playfields.

#13 8 years ago

Up to 8... 12 to go. The playfield is so beautiful that you should buy one just to hang up on your wall!

#16 8 years ago

Half way there. Just need 10 more to commit!

#17 8 years ago

Looks like we have 2 more that committed in the poll but haven't sent me their name/email via PM.

Please do so if you would... Thanks, Rob

Got your PM. Please email me your name and email address.

Thanks, Rob

Thanks Rody!

We're down to needing 1 more commitment!!

#39 8 years ago
Quoted from Silver_Bullet:

Count me in! My C37 playfield is in great shape, but I would like to support this project. Am I number 20?

You are officially #20!! If you would, PM me with your name and email.

I'll wait a few more days and then send the list to Wade.

THANKS EVERYONE!! Can't wait for this to happen.

#43 8 years ago

The list of names/email addresses have been sent to Wade.

There's 3-4 playfields ahead of C37, but the great news is that it's officially in Wade's queue!

Wade told me to keep the list going, so if you are interested in one, PM me your name and email address.

I'll bump periodically so that anyone who wants one will hopefully see this thread and not miss out. Who knows, these may never be done again...

Thanks again to those who have committed. I'm sure we'll all be very happy in a year or so!

Rob

#46 8 years ago

I think Atlantis is $650 + shipping.

If you would like to get on the list, send me a PM with your name and email address. Thanks!

Monthly bump for anyone else who might be interested. We met our minimum, but you can still get in on this playfield.

PM me with your name and email address.

#50 8 years ago
Quoted from Methos:

I'll take one. PM details sent.

All set. Thanks for the info.

Quoted from spfxted:

This is great news! C37 is my favorite EM. Regret selling it.

Hope you find another one some day... It sure is a great pin.

Monthly bump for anyone interested. It's already officially in Wade's queue. Don't want anyone to miss out. Who knows if it will ever be reproduced again.

If you want on the 'committed' list, PM me your name and email address.

#54 7 years ago

They don't seem to come up very often, but they did make 1,600 of them so they're out there!

Quoted from PhilC:

Count me in for a playfield, I will PM my info. My machine is completely disassembled, but has some wear. I started to retouch, but would be more than willing to send off to be used as a template if that is all that is needed. Let me know!

Thanks for the PM Phil. You're on the list which is now at 28.

#62 7 years ago

John & Rick. I already have both of you in the list.

As a note, Wade emailed today and said "I have a few other titles in line before I can get to Centigrade but the commitment numbers look great so it will happen in the future".

#63 7 years ago
Quoted from flipit:

Put me on the list for one!

Great!! Send me a PM with your name and email address.

#70 7 years ago

That's a good price (IMO) for a C37. It took me quite a while to find one.

Atlantis was $700 which included shipping.

I received several more PMs and we are now up to 30.

Have a wonderful Christmas everyone!!

Rob

#73 7 years ago
Quoted from kovalski3:

Great!! If you would, please PM me your name and email so I have all your info to give to Wade.

Thanks, Rob

We are up to 32 confirmed, which Wade is happy about. Send me your name and email address if you'd like to be added to the list.

Here's an update from Wade: "I am running 2001, Jumpin Jack, Abra before Centigrade, these requests came in before C37. It will be at least 8-10 months before I can do Centigrade. 32 is a great number, thank you for your work in getting a group together. I hope people can wait that long, I am just a one man show here."

I have a friend who also now wants one, so you can put me down for 2 playfields.

#92 6 years ago
Quoted from SteveinTexas:

Put me on the list for a C37 playfield. When every it is made.

Steve - PM me with your name & email address and I'll add you to the list.

Dave - You are correct! Adding Steve would bring the total to 36. Wade is very happy with the number!

#96 6 years ago
Quoted from beadwindow:

count me in, pm sent.

Got your PM. Replied back with an info request.

#97 6 years ago
Quoted from ckcsm:

I'd like to get on the list for this one also; i'll send you my info.

You're on the list. Thanks!

#98 6 years ago
Quoted from pinhead52:

Tell him to do at least 40, very popular title.

We're up to 39 now!

#99 6 years ago

We're getting closer! Here's the latest from Wade when I told him we were up to 39 and asked if there was a limit:

"Hi Rob, this is fantastic news. I do have a limit of 30 and I will do what I can to get the limit raised to meet the demand. I did pick up a machine to copy from and I will start on drafting and art once I have Abra in production which should be pretty soon. I am almost done with Jumping Jack. Thank you for making this happen."

With this being 2 years in the making, there will probably be a few people who initially wanted in, but now no longer have a need for a playfield, so I feel pretty confident that everyone who is currently on the list who still wants one will get one. I do have the list in chronological order of request.

Update from Wade in case you missed it. C37 is next!! (edited for content)

Hi everyone, this is Wade writing to you with an update about Abra Ca Dabra playfields and my other upcoming titles. The Abra boards are cut, inserts are glued in and leveled, the backside drills are done. The art is ready and I am in the process of sealing the boards now and printing will begin after this phase is complete.

After Abra, I will be producing Centigrade 37 and then Fast Draw.

#111 5 years ago

Good morning. Got an email from Wade last night:

"Hi Rob, I will begin C37 soon, hopefully in just a few weeks. I am making crates and boxing up Abra boards and still have a few left to cut. Awesome news, thank you for running the poll."

The wait is almost over!

Quoted from SteveinTexas:

So now we are finally next for this Play field being made . what is Wades final number that he can make? I think I am # 36 from 11 months ago, I was able to get a Kings and Queens and a Knockout play field so I know some people will always drop out but I really,really,really want this one!

Steve - You are #38. I believe Wade said he could make around 40. There are currently 43 on the list, but since this has been a few years in the making, there may be some who drop off.

#123 5 years ago
Quoted from cologneled:

I'm in. PM sent. I sure hope I get one this time. I was on the Sing Along list and didn't get one.

Got your IM Christopher. You are #42 so I think you have a great shot of getting one.

Quoted from swampfire:

I hope this will be my winter project. Abra needs company!

Wade has the inserts issue resolved so he should be starting soon!

#130 4 years ago

Great news from Wade! I just sent him the latest list of names this morning.

I have all the blanks cut with backside drilling, inserts are in and I'm in the sanding/sealing process for the next week. After that, printing will start. Photos are on my blog page: https://pinballplayfields.wordpress.com/

Also, I need to mention that the yellow and green inserts will be screened with the color. The place that makes these (Foremost Plastics) is no longer stocking the colorants. I have done this before and they look and work just fine.

#141 4 years ago

Just FYI... I last talked to Wade about a month ago. He has not asked me for the list yet.

#146 4 years ago
Quoted from SteveinTexas:

He contacted me today and listed the email address he sent a message too, same as what I gave you my friend and that was the only list I was on.
All is good.
Steve J.

I must have already sent him the list and I forgot. Getting old!
