Yes, its always a big surprise what you get and what it is labeld.
I bought around 7 playfields from CPR and all GOLD were between "great" and "what the hell ... ". To be fair, on a TAF with issues I got some money back. However, I soold the playfield asap because i always felt bad while looking on it and humans nature is to look exactly always on the issues.
ToTAN hat ink streams from the squuezer and very very thin clearcoat. FT was/is perfect. A Pinbot BRONCE was a nightmare with loose insert (the big one) it had to be reglued and clearcoated completely several times. Monday the ES will show up and I am curios what I will find in the box ... looking forward for a perfect playfield ...

So back to you ... sometimes you win, sometimes you loose

Its monday ... and my playfield arrived well in Germany.

This time I got a gold GOLD
One insert looks the print not perfect, thats it !
The colors are different to original, the darker blue is really darker but its okay for me.
After the first check I was little confused. There were stripes, hardly to see in the light.
I could feel them with my fingers ... so its in the coat and not the print like on TAF.
So i polisehd the playfield with the machine and some 3M stuff and it looks very very good now.

Next week I will order a playfield protector and start reassembling, the t-Nuts are already in
Thanks to CPR !!
