Sorry guys the delays are on me, & going over previous Seawitch playfields. To see what has taken place with test #3 & previous 2 playfields. I need to have all the info ready to see what went wrong with the cnc to correct the pop bumpers (even wood). My foot pain, & getting my house sold May 30 has slowed me down. Being off work the last year, & having a large house for 2 people has crippled me financially. My wife doesn't work, & the last 6 months I receive 50% of my pay (long term disability) for up to 2 years.
There are 2 people getting refunded June 1, & 1 playfield transferred for Seawitch. If you have had enough with the wait, let me know for a refund (June 1 or later for paypal refund). At this time costs of doing playfields has increased by hundreds of dollars. Anyone wanting to bail will save me money, time, & lots of expense. If your still in it the Seawitch playfields will definitely finish this year, & a few more Star Gazer playfields after that.
2019 I will no longer be doing new replacement playfields for Star Gazer, Seawitch, or any other title. Late 2019 might be the last for glass production. I had to order 300+ box sets for glass 8 years ago, & i'm finally down to 25%. The good news is that I only order 30 double playfield box sets at a time. If you want to start making pinball parts, it's a huge risk taking venture.
All the prepaid Star Gazer were done, along with new orders over the last 2 years (77 of 78). The Seawitch prepaid list is under 30 & dropping. No new prepaid for 2+ years have been taken. Many more people want in for a Seawitch playfield, & some for Star Gazer (Europe & USA). As usual CPR has said they are doing the same titles some day. Mirco is saying they will do playfields on small runs too, maybe not these but who knows.
I'm well aware of the prepaid pinball models, & the almost total failures. Glad i'm down to $10k - $15k US in prepays left for Seawitch. Almost the same amount I could of lost with another US large manufacturer that had serious money problems. If I do anything in the future there will be no prepays or lists.
I will be at Pintastic Show, & on vacation Austin, Texas first 2-3 weeks of July. I would say wait until mid June, & if your not happy ask for a refund.
Any new playfield orders will be increasing to $700 US shipped to USA. Stern glass production will resume in August. Pictures showing the last of production, & stuff that will be going to work shop this month from my house. I have enough Gottlieb glass blanks for 10+ years. Seawitch donor, #1 & #2 printed with clear being repaired & more finish clear, & #3 cnc with mistakes.
