Big downside of repro PF's for me is that they are CC'd in high gloss. Im really not a big fan of the gloss CC.
Apparently, the NEW repro'd KING OF DIAMONDS has a high gloss CC and the one ive heard reports of..... wait for it..... GHASTLY LED's!!!!!!!!!!
My EM officionados are not happy.
When i spoke to Alan tate regarding the repro of PF's we were in agreement that you cannot truely restore a 50's 60's or even 70's PF by putting CC on it. We would both prefer a linseed based finish and all its yellowing faults in order to retain an original look and ball play. Trick is to make the coating super thin.
Personally, im still on the hunt for a satin finish CC
