Many ended up here in the PNW it seems, I've had three over the last decade. Last one was a blue cab that I traded to Blairally who then passed it on to a pinhead in So Cal, the PF on that one was gorgeous and nearly mint! Kinda bummed I let it go, I know of another about 1/2 mile from me, sold it to my buddy 5 yrs ago and now I can't get him to sell it back! LOL, pinball.

Quoted from koji:

I suspect there will be a Cheetah for sale soon at John's Jukes (flippers.com), near Vancouver, BC. He has been working on one for a long time. I'm curious to see what he prices his at. Maybe send him a message if you want it and are willing to pay store $ + shipping.
I traded my original Cheetah to Alex at Ice Box arcade in Seattle (Really didn't want to sell it, but he wanted it, and made me an offer I could not refuse), and as some kind of stroke of good fortune, a friend found me another Cheetah locally (I was telling everyone how sad I was), so here I am.. back in the game
I know of one other in BC at another collectors place.
Pretty odd how so many ended up in BC. I think for a while it was undervalued because of the left lane bonus exploit. Honestly, I think this has a lot to do with setup tho, as if you have snappy flippers and a good angle, you can make the shot very difficult to achieve. Still, the tournament rom 'fixes' this, and thus the game seems to be in crazy demand.

Ughhh, maybe CPR stands for Can't Proof Reliably?

Also, is it just me or do the greens and oranges look a fair amount off? I've had 4-5 Cheetahs over the years and I recall both being a fair amount darker and or more subtle in tonality. Regardless, you should be getting either a new PF or full refund, that is just WTF.

Quoted from HoakyPoaky:

My playfield arrived today. I was excited at first, but then I spotted some issues.

There’s this big dirt smudge by the u-turn. Turns out it’s under the clearcoat. IDK how they could miss that during manufacturing. The white print on some of the inserts appear fuzzy, it looks like they were misregistered or double stamped. But it’s that dime sized smudge under the clearcoat that I can’t stop looking at. Rest of the PF looks great though.

This is my first CPR playfield. Are these kind of issues commonplace from them?

More like aluminum IMHO.

Quoted from cottonm4:

If they were grading gold, silver, and bronze, yours would have to be a bronze.
I’m not trying to make light of what you received, but if I think with the lights on and the play field glass on I don’t think will notice it very much; especially when you are playing.
