Just so everyone knows: CPR Did NOT do the Artwork on the Whirlwind Plastics (or Whitewater Plastics for that matter), we were supplied Film Positives from another Vendor for these 2 sets. Since we were provided actual Films there was no changing or altering any of the artwork.

Quoted from mcluvin:

Some of them are bold and some aren't?

Ok, this will explain the "holes" issue:

We had several different Whirlwind Playfields as "samples" to work from in the creation of the CAD File. Keep in mind that there were Three ( 3 ) Different Manufacturers of this playfield when it was originally released. Unfortunately ALL 3 were Different, yet ALL 3 were still used in the Original Production of this game, so the Bottom Line is this: ALL 3 are Correct, even though they are ALL Different.

We have Explained all this on the web site....

Did you read the web site, or just what I posted in the thread?

Quoted from Squeakman:

Correct me if I am wrong

We don't laser scan the playfield for the CAD File > each & every hole, cut out, etc. is precisley measured & Drawn in the CAD File.....

Quoted from vid1900:

So when you laser scan a playfield to make the CNC cut file

So your Plastic lines up correctly but the Metal Guide under it dosent...looks like the metal guide is drilled wrong since the Plastic lines up correctly.....

Unfortunately we were working with 'borrowed" film positives, we did not have the oportunity to do New "digital" art, had we done new digital art we would have matched the art perfectly......

However, keep in mind that once you replace your "old" plastics with the New ones and put the old ones away you won't really notice the differences at all......
