Might I ask your opinions here please ?

I have owned pinballs for 15 years and have bought a variety of game specific repro parts for WPC and old Bally SS games - drop targets, pop bumpers, plastic sets, alltek boards etc. I have been happy with all of these. I am delighted that firms like CPR make the parts that help keep old Bally SS games like my Paragon, Vector and Fathom alive and looking good

I had never seen a CPR backglass before, but as I was happy with the CPR plastics I owned, I bought a Fathom backglass from the net for my game for $200 plus postage and taxes.

What do you guys think of the quality please ?? This backglass did not meet my expectations, but I am quite prepared to accept that my expectations may have been wrong.

I took these shots within the space of 5 minutes with a decent slr camera/ f2.8 lens/ mounted flash unit, tripod, backlit glasses, good ambient lighting. I uploaded these straight from my camera, they have not been photoshopped

Original diver detail. From the left of his chin to the right of his hair is about 3 inches on the actual backglass, and it is a similar size on my 14 inch laptop screen. So I have not sought to "zoom in" or exaggerate the detail you can see here ........

CPR diver detail, note that the CPR is much "redder" and lower resolution. There are also visible vertical lines from the printing process
