Hey guys,

I'm trying to understand what to expect from a "Bronze" quality CPR playfield. From you guys who bought bronze, what defect did you get?

When you order from CPR, any chance to know prior what are going to be the defect for a the particular playfield they would be sending you?

So I tell them I'm interested, they send me pictures of a few examples with different defect, and I pick the one I want?

How much this cost in addition to an already brand new playfield? (plus I'm from Canada) See, unless you want collector quality I'm not sure it's worth it? I heard his work his fantastic but it goes against buying a new clearcoated playfield doesn't it?

I like that they can show you the defects with pictures first though.

Thanks Kruz for clearing that up. Something to think about. Cheers man!

2 things: would I be better off sending my original playfield to Ron for restoration?

And to put that topic back on track, what kind of flaws/defect to expect on a "bronze" playfield? For those who got one, any pictures or testimonials?

Good feedback everyone!

Thanks, good info!

In your example, should those insert left alone and clear added to level or should the inserts be leveled before doing re-clear?

Also, why is the wood grain showing so much? Looks almost like planking.

BTW, I got a Fish Tales CPR bronze coming in tomorrow and I heard good things from other buyers about this run. I'll definitely store it for a while before touching it (have no time anyway).

It was recommended to store flat, not against a wall or on its side like you do.

So sorry about the proportion this has taken.

Everyone is in good faith here I'm sure.

To my original question, I guess "bronze" is pretty damn good nonetheless. Every playfield is different and only wanted a few customers input who bought bronze to describe what they got and if they feel they are worth the discount.

Got my playfield, as described. I talked to Kevin and he was very easy to deal with. I'm a happy camper.
