I'm not so sure about that. I have friends who get custom molded toys made in China for a few dollars per unit for fully assembled, painted items in custom art boxes - ready for sale. Usually in less than two months start to finish including sculpting.

I would imagine if you have CAD files for inserts ready to go you could get it done in batches of 10,000 pretty quickly.

It's certainly easier to just phone the company in Chicago than deal with the language barrier, timezone differences, and somewhat difficult timelines. But waiting six months for them to get around to it seems excessive.

One again, this is in no way a knock against CPR. I really just want to know how their process works and am curious on the long timelines. Kevin has done a very good job answering that.

What happened to Medusa?

Stu,

Any word on the Diner back glass?

Is it still going to happen?

My Artwork is done but we don't have the Licensing....If all goes well then yes we will be doing it, but at this point I can't confirm either way.....

Thanks Stu,

You truly are a master at your craft.

Here's to hoping the Diner back glass gets made soon.

Any updates for the TAF release?

http://www.classicplayfields.com/order.html

^^^Yes please!^^^

^^^That is where the updates were supposed to be upated, yet it hasn't been updated since last year.
Also, since we were told over 2 1/2 months ago that this was likely to come to fruition in 6 months or so, I would hope it to be further along than what is still shown. Am I wrong? CPR?

Any updates would be greatly appreciated!!

Update? News? Progress? Kevin? Rick? Anyone?

Still waiting on the Wood & Inserts to be shipped to us.....as soon as we receive the shipment we will move into production

Wow. That's slow, considering the announcement was 4 months ago. Will CPR's website have updates moving forward, Stu?

Greg

Just be glad you were able to order one. As I recall, there wasn't much of an open window.

Once we have started production you will see changes in the "Production Comments" column of the Pre-Order, such as:
1. CNC CUTTING NOW
2. ALL CUT, INSERTS IN
3. SILKSCREEN PREPPING NOW
4. SILKSCREENING NOW
5. CLEARCOATING NOW

well this not good enough for me...I would like to know when the trees will be cut down for the wood you are using for MY playfield..weekly updates to me will be ok.i would also like to know if any animals have been harmed while getting the pigments for MY playfield colors.iso9000 certificate will be ok..also please include instruction decal on how to open box.

we just received the Beef we had been waiting on for the past 2 months, so now we can start to grind it up & make the pattys for the hamburgers that we will feed the shop guys for lunch on June 27....

....oh, and we won't be sending instructions for opening the box, but here's a clue....

Thanks for the update, Stu.

Greg

Thank you guys very much for the "Old Chicago" plastics.
To me it confirms your dedication to the sport. I ordered a set.
Any chance of doing the playfield?
thx, jeff

I completed the Artwork for the Old Chicago Playfield some time ago, and we will be making it. We are in no rush to make this title as we all know there is very little demand for it so it will most likely be a very short boutique run, However, " I " need one for my machine & we have already committed to doing it, so it's just a matter of time, just be patient......

....the good news is we will be releasing the Old Chicago Backglass very soon......

Stu
CPR Art Director

Sure wish you could say that about the Diner backglass...

Stu ?? Any chance you guys are doing Bally Rolling Stones?

I have already completed the Playfield, Plastics, And Backglass Artwork, however, now it's up to Kevin to secure the 3rd Party License. Once we secure the 3rd Party License, then we can get the B/W License......

We will be doing the Diner glass, artwork has been done now for 2 years, we just need to secure the B/W License....

Ok now i have to ask....I know someone was working a Alien Poker back glass from the CPR team going back a few years ago now and now there is no mention of it.
Is it still happening or has been wiped off the board for now?

Is there any plans that cpr will produce a classic stern quicksilver playfield or plastics?

No, there is not enough demand for those....

Yes, I did have someone working on the Backglass, but we were told to Stop Working on ALL B/W artwork so we did. If PPS has the Original Films then we "might" pick it back up....if we get the B/W Licensing

Stu, much thanks, can you hold my OC Plastics order until the BG is done so I can save on shipping?
Any chance the Old Chicago BG will be available at Allentown? If so I could pick up both the plastics and glass at the show? I think Old Chicago is one of the prettiest games ever made!

OC Backglass most likely won't be released for at least a month....We are releasing 2 other titles before OC.....

That's awsum !! I was just going to pay a crazy price for a Nos stones playfield and now I'm going to just wait. I have at least 6 of your playfields to do to keep busy.looking forward to mirror Diner backglass and hopefully a Diner Playfield?

What about the Diner playfield?

Ladies /Gents

All new to Pinside (just signed up)
Can anyone enlighten me as to whether the Banzai Run playfield sits in the potential remake queue?
I know it was mentioned sometime back. Just have the chance of buying a machine worthy of restoration.
regards
mike

Thanks for the reply stu...kinda figured it might of been that

Stu, having just purchased a Bally Old Chicago that is missing the backglass I am interested. Do the CPR glasses come with the metal lift channel & side plastics?

I ordered a backglass a while back, and it was just the glass--no trim.

Gatecrasher has trim and lift channels.

No, it's just the new Backglass.....
