I wonder this is on the Haggis radar even if it is a Williams machine?
If it isn't broke, it isn't pinball.

Sorcerer is such a better game, and i have both. That would be a cracker to rerun. Not much value to them in the States though.

Looks amazing  ^^^


Regarding the missing blue area - have you emailed CPR ? The picture of the PF on their website is exactly what you received. I'd be interested in their response. Maybe the donor was a proto or similar ?

Yes it looks good mate .

I have not emailed CPR . ( i will email them have been told it make take a while for a response )
Yes you are 100% correct as it is exactly the same as on their site.

Was just stoked that it had been finally done

I didn't pick it up till the next day it is just a shame as a lot of work would of went into it
hopefully it would be a easy fix ?

I emailed CPR so they are aware of the missing artwork
Had a post on pinside but out of respect
I removed it i hope they reply

If you receive no answer let me know and I will chase it up. We don't do the playfields, but I can find out what happened.

Perhaps reach out to Tim at HRP? He may be able to fix it.

He definitely will be able to fix it. However, it appears to be hidden by the spinner. Not a big deal, but it potentially could be a big deal if the game is a "Holy Grail". I'm surprised no-one else has picked up on it. I see both sides, and I'm curious to know how this happened.

Received a email from Kevin CPR.

In my reply back i said to kevin that there are differences in the 3 flash playfields that i have ,
also in the plastic sets the artwork is different
There will always be someone that will say it is not the same or it is not correct

This is still a work of art and i am still happy they finally produced this playfield

I emailed you Nino
Could not attach (i didnt know how to do it} the pic that was sent

I read the response which is what I expected. Donor playfields, backglasses and plastics can sometimes be proto or have differences. Back in the day, WMS may have used 2-3 different companies to produce their playfields. NOS playfield could have even been a reject or a test run. Only an observant collector will find the differences in some cases. In this case, I would have no hesitation in using the current artwork in any of my games as it is 100% better than anything else out there. But well done on highlighting this to CPR so that future runs will be consistent with the original run of playfields.

I totally agree...

It is still 200% better to have a new playfield than a blown out one in my opinion
98% of people wouldn't even know

It is only crazy flash owners like me..lol
