We now have the gallery of pictures up for our New CPR ToTAN ( Tales of the Arabian Nights ) Playfields.

http://www.classicplayfields.com/photo176.html

IMPORTANT NOTES TO ANSWER RELEASE QUESTIONS:

This playfield had so many preorders over the last 3 years, that we had to break the run into
two waves. WAVE ONE (slightly more than half) is being released right now - June 2015.
The FIRST HALF of the preorder group (2012 & 2013 folks) will be contacted first, for these.
WAVE TWO will be produced by year-end 2015 or early 2016. The remaining 2013 & 2014 folks
will be given the shot at WAVE TWO, once they are released.

Please do not chase us with "where am I on the list" or "when am I getting my email" questions.

Every single email received in the TOTAN Inbox has been kept and will be offered a playfield
during this process. WAVE TWO will actually be a slight over-run, intentionally, just to be sure
everybody gets one who wanted one. With the hopes of remaining stock for the Waiting List folks.

There are a lot of these to get orderly paid, packed, and shipped, as they come out of clearcoat.

WAVE ONE customers will be emailed from June 12 to the end of July to see these off.

I notice the text in this photo shows a loss of detail - the "1996" in particular. Is that the original films and you're reproducing the drop out, or is that a production issue related to the films and screen mesh?

What in particular are you talking about? The text for 1996 looks fine. The tails of the 9's and the 6 are most likely that fine that you can't seem them at that resolution, I'm sure a more detailed shot would show they are there.

This playfield was made from Digital Artwork hand drawn by Nick Possedi of the CPR Art Team, it was not made from the oem films....there is no drop-out of the " 1996 ", the only issue I can see is 'possibly' the " © " which is about a 6pt character, which is nearly impossible to make perfect through a Silk-Screen process at the Line-Screen/Mesh Size that we use ( for best possible reproduction ).

Too late for that. I didn't realize it was a purchase worthy of unboxing pics.

I could take some pics, but they would really just be repeats of the CPR gallery ones.

I'm hesitant to point out my nitpicks, especially in Stu's thread. It's only the third reproduction playfield I have purchased, and I'm by no means an expert on what to expect. I'll try to be fair, but be aware that some of this may be normal for reproduction playfields.

Compared to the other repro playfields I've bought, this one is the nicest. For comparison's sake, the others were an IPB Monster Bash and a Mirco Scared Stiff.

The inserts in the MB were missing artwork around the edges, and I actually ended up returning it. The inserts in this playfield are very well done; no missing artwork, the clear is smooth at their edges, etc. The inserts are crystal clear compared to the milky looking ones in my original that is in my game.

The clearcoat is also very well done, in my opinion. It is very smooth without feeling like it's a thick coating. I would say it's very similar to my TZ playfield that Captain Neo restored.

The colors are slightly different than my original, and a few of them, especially the teal and orange are a little more muted than the original.

The "1996" mentioned above, actually does look like the picture to me, and as Stu mentioned, there is a bit of dropout on the " © ". A little more of a concern for me is the underline under "Tales of the Arabian Nights". Mine looks nearly identical to the one in CPR's picture as shown below.

Finally, there is one spot where there is missing artwork about 1/8" in diameter. This is just above the hole for the right flipper bushing, and I believe it will be covered by the bat once installed.
