Happy to be in the club as It was one of my must have pins. I just ordered my PF too! Game is enjoyable and playable - might I add durable. Very little issues except "missing" a few callouts. Tinkering with that now a bit and cleaned the crap out of it knowing I got a decent deal on the game and knowing it wasn't perfect. I could stop there. But I have the bug and Ive ordered ramps and like others will need another plastic set when it's available. I'll be new to the swapping as well but when I get brave it will be a great learning experience for me and my younger son who is hooked too!!

Question for those with experience with CPR .... Do they typically run new playfields along new plastics at same time or shortly afterwards? At all or at what intervals? Seems random indeed Am I correct that it was last done 2-3 years ago? It appears they are doing this with several other system 11 games right now which makes sense and why I asked.
Meanwhile someone with all or in parts is
Making a nice buck bidding up this supply demand situation for sure!

Thanks for responses. I knew I should have paid more attention in that plastics class in HS. Would have come in handy right about now. Instead I focused on the brunette from the drill team.

Quoted from CPR:

Whirlwind is test cutting now and will be in production within the week

Great news, are you running plastics as well now or in future?

Quoted from Pmaino:

Don't

I don't think I want to do that again.
It came out awesome though, plays XtremeIO fast on a new CPR playfield.

Beautiful job. From your experience, what was the toughest part of the project?

Beautiful job and gives encouragement for us who will roll up sleeves for the first time.
How long did it take to get what you need including the coveted new plastics?
I'm concerned going "all in" and getting hung up -thanks!

I was early in on a spot for this run and haven't heard anything yet.
A bit nervous as well. Preorder email confirm 3/5/16.
Hold tight or send an email? Do they respond?

Quoted from BriPin:

I'm not in the club yet but preordered a playfield anyway and got my notification today. I looked at the playfield photos and noticed this line in the art. Is this on the original playfields as well, an optical illusion or a defect in the printing?

Hmm..I just checked mine and certainly a fading effect there on the original but no obvious line.

I just got the notice and ordered my playfield as well.
I'm excited and nervous all at the same time as this will be my first swap.

This facelift is so worth it though and long overdue - I'm sure I'm not alone!!!

Quoted from xfassa:

Can someone tell me what goes in these holes (marked with green arrow). Thanks.

probably a bad pic of one side which is a post with rubber beside the star post.
Same post on other side under the ramp. With that said, it doesn't seem to be adding any direct support to the ramp in any way.
Hope it helps.
