ANNOUNCEMENT:
Stern SEAWITCH Reproduction Playfields
https://classicplayfields.com/shop/pinball-playfields/seawitch-2/
SeaWitch fans,
Not to pile on, but you happy campers are going to be seemingly swimming in reproduction playfield options suddenly
As most of you will say - PILE ON, PLEASE ! SeaWitch getting a playfield love fest, after all these years.
Some background:
We've been sitting on the SeaWitch playfield project since the end of the Art Team years (2008-2011). Our Art Director, Stu had finished up a complete vectorized silkscreen layout for the playfield around 2012. Our local buddy, John Greatwich of Great Pinball, had begun his experiments with the new direct-ink digital printing methodology for putting new artwork back onto original, sanded-off playfields. His leading project was SeaWitch playfields - so with plenty of other playfield work to undertake, CPR yielded on SeaWitch playfields. John carried that SeaWitch playfield torch for essentially a decade, and even got into newly-cut SeaWitch full reproduction versions at the end. John concluded the Great Pinball shop within the last year or so.
With that, we decided to bring SeaWitch out of the mothballs, and finally put it into our regular CPR playfield rotation. We started our first batch of SeaWitch playfields down the pipe just a couple of months ago. They literally sit at the clearcoater's shop right now, among his last pickup of a month's worth of playfields...
Murphy's Law of timing... LOL... Very recently we were told that the Great Pinball SeaWitch playfield legacy may not be 'completely' dead as we were told. A recent announcement here on Pinside revealed that John must have passed the torch of some unfinished business with several owed SeaWitch re-prints, as well as possibly some of the remaining whitewoods for new reproductions to be finished up. With these particular SeaWitch playfields being announced, it prematurely pushed the requirement of the CPR batch to be announced equally. Even though our clearcoater may be weeks away from delivery, the SeaWitch crowd should know these are ALSO in play. We normally wait for playfields to physically be in-hand, before release on our web site. But in this case, announcing this 3-4 weeks from now might tick-off many SeaWitch owners, who wished they had known their full options. For instance, we know of many who had been waiting for bundling with backglass + plastics, and getting their discounts.
Anyway - now everyone has all the information of possibility.
