It does sound like that while CPR has a NOS Meteor glass, it was a production reject with color issues. Considering that CPR now makes the backglasses on demand/purchase a quick photoshop change to the sourcefile should be very doable....

Quoted from Coyote:I wonder if it wasn't a separate run. Maybe a mis-run or something, since it looks like the one Kevin posted (the one they used) is also missing the "CREDIT" text, and the white part of the cloud below the 'CREDIT' window.
Agree, it could still be a NOS production "second" that got put into the donor pin sometime later in it's life, unless it was a first owner originality verify pin, which is hard to imagine but not impossible for nearly 40 years.
Quoted from albummydavis:Guys, there’s just an ugly reality to screening—printers often took shortcuts. There’s nothing like eliminating a color to save time and money. Especially if the customer doesn’t notice or can’t afford delays caused by rejecting product. This might not be as common now, but back then it sure as hell was, no matter the product. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t wish your replacement matched your original, but the idea this is shoddy workmanship by cpr is ridiculous
I haven't seen anyone on here say that there was "shoddy workmanship" on CPR's part.....Far from it, there are plenty here who are being supportive and trying to help figure out where these coloring differences came from. The "shoddy workmanship" that occurred in this case was very common back when Stern Electronics originally manufactured this pin, and somehow, unfortunately for all involved, made it's way into CPR's possession when they chose it as the master source.
