Is it possible to get a side by side photo comparison of 'budget' (your term) and non-budget SeaWitch backglasses?

Quoted from KevinCPR:No, not at all like that. It would be the design like we did years ago - which paired with LED/animation kits that were made at the time (sold by other vendors). The car tail lights, moon, and theater sign are printed translucent, with a backglass-like rear lightblock layer to mask the rest of the panel dark.
Will that be the Chrome version or the normal version?
Quoted from Joydivision:Is it now possible to easily create the additional two prototype plastics & add them to a standard set or even made to order?
Yes, they can be added to the existing set as another pair of pieces. As long as everyone is willing to accept existing art for those pieces, newly cropped at the front, "Try" added on the left piece, and laser cut with a new front (clear) edge further back (no overhang over the targets).
Will need some time to work on it, but it can come available in the next couple weeks. The entry in the Store will simply update.
Any estimate on a timeframe for stuff you've never done like Bally Freedom EM or Stern Pinball backglasses? Maybe a year or two before you get to that point?

Fantastic, thank you!

Dang, take all my money. Once I get back from Nova Scotia/Newfoundland I plan on dropping some cash on BK and High Speed parts. I can't wait.
Given all of the new and on hand product it looks like it might also be time to update the store for easier navigation 
" If you, or somebody, could PM me with confirmed measurements of the "Classic" (swing-out) glass panel size"
Don't. Tease. Me.

That's great Kevin, thanks!.
It looks like the blue at the front of the production plastics was just added on to the prototype plastics to simply make it make bigger. By cropping the added blue areas off & continuing the fine black border & with the clear edge it should be exactly how the prototype was.
Quoted from KevinCPR:Yes, they can be added
Can you print up a dozen extra pairs (like doing slings) of the drop target plastics, for those of us who have done the conversions, but already bought new sets from ya?

"I'll need confirmation. I'll also need a good straight-on photo of the backside, to confirm locations of "Tilt" "Ball in Play" "Match" etc ... "
KevinCPR - it looks like
Mk1Mod0 has already responded with more accurate depictions of the tilt/shoot again/game over/etc location measurements, but I'll throw my pix in as well if it helps.

Everything fits fine except for the clear plastic flipper return lane guides (see photo below). The holes are not where they should be to line up under the steel return lane guide, at least for my playfield. I have the 1984 Classic EBD and I'm pretty sure that while the backglass size is different on this edition vs. the 1981 Original EBD, the playfield and plastics should be interchangeable.
Do you know of anyone else who has noticed this? Thanx....

Mine is a 1981, doesn't look like it will fit mine either.
Quoted from hwyhed:like many others out there, i'd love to have a new Comet translate too! I'd also be in the market for the middle ramp/corkscrew ramp and cycle jump plastic...man, those pieces sure took a pounding..
hwyhed Pinsider freeplay40 recently made all three ramps for Comet. Check this out:

Any thoughts on rerunning the BOP faces?

How can the relevant wave release posts be pinned to the first page? Does the OP have to do it? Just trying to see which plastics and back glasses have been released by CPR.

Go to Kevin's first post and tap on the "profile" outline next to the post #. You'll see only his posts, and then you can find what you want a but faster.

Yeah, I know how to filter for just his posts, but was hoping to just see the "wave" announcements. I figure that he'll respond to other posts and was just trying to figure out how it's done in other threads I've seen. This looks like it'll be a long one as CPR has a huge back catalog. I'm waiting for a few plastics and back glasses and am really looking forward to play fields!
Seems like Kevin has been away for a bit. Still waiting for his reply to a support inquiry and after a week they've said he's back now and they forwarded it to him.
Keven I may have missed this... what is the process for ordering a previous CPR produced playfield that is no longer available? I’m wanting to order a Firepower playfield which hasn’t been available for a few years.
Thanks Don
Quoted from hwyhed:Big shout out to Mark and CPR..my 2 ramps for my comet came today..I’m very happy that you were able to produce these and provide exactly what you said..
Love the ramps...
Where did you buy them ...Starship?
Quoted from Stretch7:Love the ramps...

Freeplay40 made the ramps.

Quoted from PACMAN:Did you ever do a run of Bally 1972 Fireball plastics? I thought i read somewhere that you did. Any plans to make them?
CPR didn't do the Fireball repro sets that were available a few years ago, they were done by someone else, They were also screened on thinner plastic than originals. Action pinball used to stock them as well, but have sold out now.
Hopefully CPR will do them though.

And I thought they were the Fireball Classic plastics. Not sure they're 100% the same as the fireball 72 ones, are they?
Quoted from tamoore:And I thought they were the Fireball Classic plastics. Not sure they're 100% the same as the fireball 72 ones, are they?
Fireball classic plastics are different to the '72 Fireball plastics.
72' sets were made at one time by soemone. They are very nice quality. Hard to find but still out there
Quoted from mollyspub:Just checked out the new CPR site. They are now carrying toppers. Some pretty cool others not so much. I actually prefer their previous site set up.
Very very much a work in progress at this point. Lol
