Quoted from ToucanF16:

Interesting concept about a lack of Golds. CPR's own web site says the Gold/Silver/Bronze production is 85%/10%/5%. I really question those numbers. I'll shop anywhere I can for a PF besides CPR. Kevin's PFs are my last resort. Why would any reputable business sell anything less than a "gold PF"? CPR's tiered playfield scheme is an excuse for mediocracy. They print PFs on crap wood not suitable for any PF. The wood should have been tossed in the dumpster. But Kevin manufactures it anyway, calls it a Bronze and sells it for a small savings over a gold.
I will say though, I have no issue with CPR plastics and backglasses.

because with playfields, you have so many factors that can provide imperfections in fields. A spot too high or low causing the ink to miss spots. Inserts shifting creating edging or ghosting. Crap in the clear. Routing issues. dimple issues. 100's of thing can go wrong. So if you strive for only perfection, what are you suppose to do with the other 80% inventory that has minor or major blemishes? You can't start over. Hence the price level tier. Even then, there is no such thing as a perfect playfield. if you look hard enough, every field has imperfections in it. If you want perfection, you need a different hobby.

Quoted from Mitch:

Now you just have to fix the color GI

agreed. the colored GI looks like complete ass. As it always does with every game that people do it on.

Quoted from PinMonk:

Dunno. The green on Munsters in Herman mode works, and the Metallica GI change is nice, too. So colored GI isn't ALWAYS bad, just when it's done in an amateurish way (usually the homebrew carnival puke examples).

color changing for a mode is one thing. It's temporary and ment to screw with you so you can't see for crap. Like in Space Station or Atlantis. It does that on purpose because the designers know you can't see shit if you have colored GI's. People that put color where white is suppose to be do not understand that.
