The old looks better.

sure like the old orange better, although the new purple is better.

The colors look off on the new plastics. Where did you get them?

Wow new colors are WAY off

That blue appears nowhere on the PF

I would be really annoyed if I'd gotten those... The orange should blend right in with the PF!

Too bad, classicarcades is to be avoided at all costs. Return the set if you can.

I wish I would have known that. I have started a return

They were recently repro-ed by a fellow down in Austrailia.
Those are what you want, bit time. (I'm on my phone, can't find the thread now.. If you look for all Meteor threads, jump back 1.5, 2 years.)

There is a science to color matching, which unfortunately the vast majority of people are incapable of comprehending.

I would send the new ones back and work on compiling original replacements or restoring the ones you have as best as possible.

#12 6 years ago

I looked at past posts on the subject, can't really find any available. Sending the one I bought back and I'll just keep looking. Maybe I can find someone who has the broken one I need. I'll post pictures of the broken ones later.

Anyone purchase from those guys before??

#15 6 years ago

Here are the pieces that I am looking to replace. If anyone has some originals let me know.

I did, and thought quality was great. There were slight color differences, but my originals are about 40 years old. But they matched a LOT better than those you have pictured..
