They never do reruns, but when they do it is Fathom and centaur

Guaranteed sales I guess. Good for me anyway. The playfield on my Centaur is a CPR. It was already installed when I brought it but it must have been a third or something. Definitely better than a beat original but the inserts are milky and the finish isn't as nice as my other CPR playfield's so I'm in for one.

The buyer of the original playfield would most likely be aware of the fact the playfield would have been a Bronze (based on your description). This is one of the reasons we pushed for the different classifications. The problem always was that sellers can claim it is "CPR Product" - but not advise of the classification.

Centaur and Fathom will ALWAYS sell. I'd be surprised if Centaur would still be available at this stage.

Yep, the introduction of a "gold", "silver" or "bronze" stamp on the newer CPR playfield's was a great idea.

Nino do you get any of these playfields in as a CPR distributor?

I am curious if I want a playfield in the future from CPR, do I have to order it straight from them by putting my name on the list, or will you get limited stock to sell?  Just wondering how it works?  I would be happy to support you if there was an option to purchase from you plus postage my be cheaper too???

interesting to see their new 'we will produce in 18 moths and you must buy' is working
5 playfields were announced back in November 2014

I wonder how many will be finished over the next 5 months

I've been wondering that myself. A lot of work in not much time but I'm hoping they can do it. There's a couple I have my name down for and a couple more which were on the old list but haven't yet appeared under the new system.

Thats not part of the current deal. We are looking at this in the New Year, but you will need to continue ordering off the CPR site as we don't keep a register as they do.
