Hey Guys;

I am just finishing up the CAD file for TAF and I have three examples of PFs that came out of games and yet again all three are different. When Gene remade these in the past he never drilled or dimpled but of course we will. No sorry dimple template for us, I'm adding them all in with the CNC on the front and using our dimple press for the underside.

But my question is that one of the three has a cutout on the front under the skirt area of the PF, but only on one of the three examples I have. The other two do not have it and the original production (Rev 5) CAD drawing of the PF doesn't have it either. Does anyone know what its for? If its needed or not??

Thanks
Mike

it's only .062" deep. I suppose it's easy enough to put in and if its not needed who cares..... its under the skirt anyway.

Dates on the ones without the recess are Apr 24 and Jun 02 1992. No date on the one with the recess, which leads one to think its a pre production PF. Artwork on the one with the recess is markedly different as well. The one with the recess has almost every hole on the top with a black trapping layer, while the two dated ones have much less of this especially in the bare wood areas.

Quoted from Jarbyjibbo:

Mike, judging by some of the posts in the other thread, it looks like you could sell a bunch more if you expand the run. Any thoughts about opening up for sales again before the line get started with the TAF playfields?

Hey Jibbo;

We plan to try and make as many as we can based on materials we have, at this time I figure we'll have between 5-8% more than we originally planned. However, this is just a wild assed guess because as you guys all know, stuff happens and we'll lose a few here and there to various things. We also have had almost 60% of guys back out of preorders and wishlists lately so I'll be surprised if everyone that wants one doesn't get a crack at one. Again, I could be wrong.

I'm surprised it even has the T-Nuts cutouts as my original CAD drawing has them tagged for later drilling and installation by the vendor. And in fact, the samples I am using for CAD have had them installed later for sure as they aren't in the same spot on the all the PFs, close but not CNC close, more like jig and hand routing close.

I'll make an offer to anyone that needs it, I'll drill and dimple the front of this PF BUT and this is a BIG one, you pay shipping both ways and if it goes sideways in any way we're not responsible for it. It will be drilled and dimpled with the same pattern as our reproductions. If this PF is different in any way it will show up. That's why I NEVER use an NOS for CAD work. They are missing a bunch of holes, all the dimples and there just might have been a reason it was never used back in the day...... could be anything, (missing holes, bad alignment, wrong colored inserts etc) or there could be nothing wrong at all. It's just too risky for me to use for CAD work. I want a used one that came out of an actual game. Contact me privately for further info if needed.

As for colors we have the original films so the Pantone colors are specified, however, both of the original companies "should" have had the same information and yet they still wound up with different colors. Guess its not that easy

We'll order the Pantone colors from the color specialists as specified on the films and test them out to make sure they are right. If they match either PF then we'll know its right and use it. If it doesn't match either we might try to bend the color to match one of the original PF's we have. But I have to say I am engaging in a little bit of speculation based on a lots of "Ifs". They will be as good as we can make them though, that's for sure.
