Quoted from NJGecko:CPR Centaur playfield?
Already have one installed in my Centaur restoration...
Awe man, is that playfield dimpled? I have an NOS Paragon playfield that was cleared and looks equally gorgeous, but it is not dimpled. I've had issues when drilling some old NOS playfields with aftermarket clear. Even with the "proper" drill bit I've had cases of the clear chiping around the drill bit. I didn't know they dimpled any Paragons.

You need to use a nice, new, sharp drill bit to start. Second, run the drill in reverse when drilling into clear to ensure that you do not chip the clear.

Quoted from HPR:You're very lucky if you can find an Embryon NOS playfield, it is one of the hardest to find from this Bally era.
I picked up an Embryon playfield at the swap meet at the Texas pinball festival that is a beautiful example I plan to restore and put in my game. We will see where this goes but it was amazing at the swap meet this year. Nice examples of many different titles and Chris Munro unloaded a 30 foot warehouse find right into the parking lot. I was having so much fun. 20 some games and piles of parts and 30 or so playfields. I also picked up a pretty nice Rolling Stones. There was playfields for everyone at great prices Even some of the dirty ones were really nice once cleaned.
Fantastic swap meet.
