Quoted from High_End_Pins:

Hate to have to put this up here but I just discovered the Tiger magnet will not fit this playfield.
Factory has an extra cut. Cpr is not routed like the factory and it does not allow the magnet core to center.

I hate to have to shoot this down, but I wish you would have approached us directly to check this first, before posting this blanket declaration on a forum. Posts like this invoke disappointment and our customers would be led to think their $900 playfields are now flawed or improperly cut.

We were tipped off to come find this thread and respond. After 250 boards sold, and 4-5 months have passed, wouldn't it be telling that nobody had mentioned this before? Even with only 10% swapped... wouldn't 25 people who allegedly had to route out the back of their playfield have spoken up? Even one?

So we dug out the original Williams TOTAN playfield that we used for design...

Sure enough, the CPR repro is a perfect match to an original. CPR *did* route like the factory.

Looks like the swap HEP is doing had an oddball sized magnet or substituted part that was hacked in on the line (see the secondary routing on the photo he provided) and is not the norm. This likely explains why we have heard from nobody. Honestly, crickets.

We assume our Williams original board is standard/correct format. HEP's is the oddball one. If we are wrong, please TOTAN owners speak up.

Chris, you are a pinball legend. Your words hold a ton of weight. Have no problem with people critiquing our stuff, just when a "product recall" type notice is put out there, it should be from us. Next time, let's talk offline first, determine if it's isolated or global, and then we can proceed with a official CPR bulletin to notify our customer group. Sound fair ?

Photos attached of our Williams original TOTAN board, which came out of a working game.
