Quoted from DeeGor:I restored my Whirlwind with a CPR playfield, and was a little disappointed. The issues I ran into were:
* The dimples were worthless. Almost none of them lined up properly.
* None of the topside holes are dimpled / drilled. I tried using tracing paper to determine where to drill the holes, but the art doesn't line up 100%. You'll have to do a little guesswork.
* There is a post hole towards the back of the playfield that did not line up properly and prevented me from installing the lane guides. I had to widen the hole a little for everything to fit properly.
Dimples on the bottom, yeah, maybe 50% of them were correct. But for those that were not, I just lined up hardware and used pick to create my own new dimple, wasn't a big deal.

For the few holes I needed to drill up top, I used a centering punch and square to line things up without issue:

Same issue with that post hole in the rear of the playfield. I made an offset post.

I do like how they are faithful to the left flipper ball hope design. Shameless plug for the bushing I'm selling in post #4166 here.
