Thanks for the info.
Are original playfields better/more sought after than reproductions?
Just wondering if one is better than the other or if they are about the same.

Thanks for the heads up.

I saw the listing earlier, but I passed it off as ignorance of the terminology on the part of the seller.

[edit]: I messaged the seller too and got a response. However, it doesn't sound like he cares.

Thanks for the heads up, Ron. I'm curious why Mirco would choose to include "This playfield is protected by Diamond Plate" if their reproductions are actually not protected by Diamond Plate and, as Ron noted above, so few DP FH were actually produced. It seems as though any potential buyer of a game with a Mirco pf installed can also be easily deceived by this.

I don't think it's a hard thing to miss - that huge hologram sticker says it all, that it's a repro. Original PFs never had that.

Maybe there's a reason "skrew" is part of his seller name.

I complained on RGP when Mirco originally decided to enter into this deception.

Let's bombard this person with ebay messages deriding him about it!

If I was rich, I'd buy it just to mess with the guy by filing a SNAD claim. He'd either have to give a hefty partial refund or do a full refund and eat the return shipping fee.

1990 clear coat vs 2015/16 clear coat. My money is that the newer is better due to material advancements and not being 2 1/2 decades old.

Honestly, anyone who would give a shit if it was NOS would easily know the difference. I personally don't see an overt attempt to deceive. Possibly just laziness or ignorance. I think it's time to put the torches and pitchforks away.

Someone should buy that then dispute the payment as significantly not as described. The seller gets pretty screwed in those disputes.

I've done exactly two playfield swaps: High Speed and Pinbot. The High Speed was an original playfield, and the Pinbot was a CPR.

Swapping in an original is a much easier process, so that's another advantage.

It's a gamble though....if it doesn't work out, ya payed double

It looks like the guy has edited the auction. Looks like the pitch forks and stakes can be called off...
