Comet Playfields - made by a Pinsider possibly available for order
« on: September 04, 2013, 07:40:59 PM »
Just a heads up that a guy on Pinside "Vid1900" is going to be doing a batch of comet playfields, though size of the batch is unknown.

So I just thought for anyone interested it might pay to contact him to see if you can get in on it. This is what he said a few weeks ago when he was on the road for work away from the project progress.

The artwork, I've been told, has been completed.

A set of screens is burned (one for each color) and the playfield is re-manufactured. I found a shop with a monster 38x52" press that screens plywood signs. It has laser registration, so the playfields will actually be better printed than the slop from 30 years ago.

I figure that with a real clear coat and buff out (something the orig never had) they will run ~$500, or clearcoat them yourself for $350.
