Posted this in a new topic but this seems like a good place instead;

I picked up an Embryon not too long ago that I haven’t had a chance to look at too much yet. Mechanically it seems okay but the Playfield is ROUGH. It was previously, poorly touched up and not protected. Pretty much all the inserts need attention too.
Does anyone have a high Res scan of the playfield I could use to create some overlay decals for the real bad parts?
Has anyone ever made replacements for the inserts? Is there a set available somewhere that I haven’t found yet? Or decals I could install and clear over?
Any suggestions here will help! Thanks in advance everyone.

Quoted from rottenrobert1313:

Update on the Xpin 7volution displays. After a few emails and a phone call with Brett at Xpin. He's tracked down the issue when it comes to these displays in Embryon. Sent me a board to try out and the playfield lights are working as they should. I couldn't be happier with the trouble he went through to get to the bottom of the issue. Any of my games that need new displays, I'm going to Xpin from here on out.

What was the issue you had? I just ordered the 7volution displays for mine and I’m likely not going to have my machine to a testable state for at least a Couple months. Anything I should be preparing for??

Jeez, no decals, no overlays..... this game needs a CPR playfield or a Hardtop!

Quoted from Grizlyrig:

That is beautiful!!!
Very hard to find or have a Embryon pf in that condition. Wish someone would reproduce these.

Pretty sure it’s coming! 2021 is going to be a great year!

Quoted from Pinzap:

Playfield is decent, but would still be in for a CPR.
As for the home ROM, it turns out this had the weebly mpu replacement, so no updated roms needed. It says it has v9 of Oliver’s code by flipping the proper dip switches. Anyone have documentation for what’s in this version?
Also… for a heavy hitter tournament, what are people doing to make the gameplay more difficult and shorter?
[quoted image]

Your playfield looks great compared to what I had. I’ve had my machine for a year and a half and haven’t played it yet. Rebuilt stripped and stencilled the cabinet. Added 7 digit LED displays and waiting for my playfield to get finished. Lots of new parts sitting in my cabinet and nothing to put them back together onto.

Got a new apron decal made and installed on my apron. Can’t wait to get my playfield. Lol

Quoted from Ballypalooza:

Who’s that from?

I found a scan of the apron and had a friend who works at a printing/sign company make it up for me. I have a spare that I’d probably be willing to part with. He printed 2 to fill up the width of the print material.

Quoted from Pinwiz1985:

Wow that came out great! How much to have your friend make up a copy?

I have a second one that was printed at the same time to use up the whole width of the vinyl. It’s for sale if you need it.
$75 USD plus shipping.

Quoted from FantasticPinball:

Still hunting for a playfield. Rough wall hanger is fine.

I have it on good authority that a repro playfield is coming this summer sometime. I’ll let you know exactly when once I get mine back.

Quoted from jgreene:

Is this just wishful thinking or an actual rumor? What's the source for this?
It would be great to finally restore my project embryon that spent a decade as a mouse hotel.

You can put me down as the source. Mirco has been working on a repro for quite some time around all the JJP projects. I’ve been told it will be ready sometime this summer but I’m thinking fall is more realistic. It’s been a long time coming already.

Here’s a straightened out pic of the playfield from Mirco’s website. Pretty excited to see what it looks like in person!
