I wish I had bought a CPR repro backglass. My backglass is nearly perfect except for color fade. Now that I realize how bad it is it bugs the hell out of me.

Quoted from Whysnow:New owner here. I need to find a backglass, new or reproduction. Does anyone have any leads?
I'm crossing my fingers CPR reruns the backglass when they do the playfield.

I swear there was a post where CPR said they were doing a re-run of plastics and backglass to coincide with the finished playfield. This is like my holy trinity - Earthshaker playfield, backglass, and plastics, though I do already have the plastics. Does anyone else feel like this is something special? I certainly do!
Quoted from YeOldPinPlayer:http://classicplayfields.com/store-plastics.html
"NOTE: To upcoming ES playfield customers, plastics will be offered with playfield-combo discount pricing, while supplies last, if bought with playfield."
Nothing on their site about backglass being made again. The previous run has photos.

Maybe I'm nuts, but I'm certain I read it somewhere?

It appears they didn't do flipper alignment holes as well. Ehh, I don't care. I'm just excited to see it actually happening. Looks pretty sweet!
Quoted from Skypilot:Got my notice. Playfields ordered. Let’s hope they are better than WW round two was.
I'm just hoping they are getting their playfield wood from a different supplier than Stern is.
Quoted from patrickvc:I just added the new CPR topper to my game. It is the perfect compliment to the Whirlwind topper. I highly recommend it.
I already have a set of plastics from the first run. Wonder if they'd offer up just the topper?

Quoted from pintechev:Looks really good! Wow - what a beautiful game.
I'm excited to get my new playfield and backglass. I just checked the CPR website and bronze playfields are already sold out. Hopefully, this means it was a really good run ala Fish Tales. Anybody get a backglass yet?

FYI - I never got an update e-mail, but apparently, there are problems with this run of backglasses and they are dropping the price/offering refunds.

My original is nice, other than some colors (flesh tones, green) are badly faded. What to do?
Quoted from GLSP3022:I for one would by any glass they offer. My machine doesn't have one at all.
I agree. It's a little tougher for me. Is it worth $179 to trade one set of flaws for another?
Quoted from Pinballer73:Thanks for posting this link. How did you come across the page? Having recently purchased, but not yet received 2 playfields and a backglass, I haven't been informed of this issue.
It's a link off the main ES playfield order page. They've updated it a few times regarding delays. I never got the follow up e-mail, so figured I'd share.

Quoted from PJKools:Nope...they scratched them out on the boards and the volume control sticker as well
Any chance there could be a serial number on the back of one of the boards? I don't recall ever seeing one myself, but I'm thinking thieves would probably be too lazy/dumb to pull the boards and check.

Quoted from razoraustralia:The buildings up in the top left are different too, they are normally mirrored. Awesome pick up.
The chipping at the bottom is a shame, but yeah, it looks good. The skin tones on mine look like an f'ing ghost.

Quoted from billsfanmd:I think half the country is stuck there. Looks pretty bad
