Quoted from Yoko2una:Hey TSPP owners,
Currently considering trading myself into the club this weekend but had a few questions for you guys regarding this lightly routed example. I tried searching keywords in this thread but couldn't find answers to these.
1) The one I looked at last night had what appeared to be a lighter-than-normal coloring in the middle (grandpa Simpson, Family in car, surrounding artwork). I pulled up many photos and even knowing some photos are at the mercy of the camera, I think some of the blues and reds are lighter than others. I also wonder if the register is off more than normal. Please look at the comparisons below, not only in terms of color, but also in the registering of the color shapes vs. the position and boldness of the black outlines. Also zoom in on Lou and the Lard Lad donut for examples. Is this normal, or is this regarded as a poor quality PF?

2) I also noticed that in the right orbit, there was a small clear plastic that kicks out the Otto shot and guarantees it aligns up on the right rail for the 3rd flipper shot. I didn't know if it was stock or not, and I forgot to take a photo, but I find it weird that there would be a flat clear plastic screwed onto a PF stock. Perhaps I'm wrong. I tried to look around, and this is the only evidence I can see of another existing. Look just to the right of the right black post for the captive ball, up the right orbit above Krusty's hair...
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
