Looking into a Centaur, guy says it has a CPR repro playfield. What do you guys think? These center inserts especially - guy isn't a Pinsider, maybe the original seller told him it did and he didn't know the difference - I sold a repro CPR bronze Centaur pf last year because I'd given up finding a donor game, and it looked a hell of a lot nicer than this?

....and now that you've seen it, you also have the same 'great eyes'.
So if you are at a show, or on CL and see a game for sale, you eyes will instantly be drawn to the inserts.
Looking from the backside of the playfield, the inserts will appear to have white ink instead of black; because you are seeing the raw vinyl.
This looks like the one listed on Mr Pinball, I was in contact with the owner but I think this is a possible scam? Not sure? Pm me for further details if your interested in pursuing the Mr Pinball advertised game.
Quoted from Multiball33:Was that the one in Michigan for 2800 listed recently on Mr pinball?
Yes, it's the one on Mr Pinball but it's in New Hampshire - I emailed the guy and explained to him what he has and how to identify it, and he said "cool, thanks for the heads up"....
Quoted from pinzrfun:He offered to ship it right away when I told him i was 800 miles away
It would have been fun to hear his response when you said: "Cool, I'll take it! But if I drive 800 miles, and it's not a CPR playfield, I'm leaving with all 10 of your fingers, and nothing on this earth can stop me."
I responded to that Mr Pinball ad as well. When I pointed out the insert issues I was told it's a CPR with no issues.

So, one of 2 things-
He's not a pinhead, that's what the seller told him, and he's going with that no matter what. Most Pinsiders will probably recognize that SOMETHING ain't right with those inserts, even if they can't quite put their finger on it (like me, until they read Vid's explanation).
Either that, or he's flat out just trying to pass it off as a CPR repro, knowing it's not. And at this point, at least 2 of us have told him as much. Which is weird - why draw attention to something so easy to disprove? Unless he just hopes to hook another newbie and throws it out there, "Yeah, it's got a CPR playfield"...similar to "Its got a Hurst shifter..." to some guy that just wants a GTO.

Tried calling you twice, number shows as an Idaho number and can't be completed as dialed??

When I questioned the funky inserts I got this exactly:
Yes, it’s a CPR repro. It has no issue. I have attached a picture of the boards.
I had asked for a picture of the boards as well. I did do a reverse Google search of his pictures to see if they were lifted off a website and didn't get any hits.

I did the same with the pics, same result. Cabinet sure was nice. Good score if you end up with the game at the right price. Too far from home for me at the moment
Pretty sure it has a playfield protector on it as well based on the shadow lines by the orb drops and sling openings
