Xiaou2:
And final example,
Here we draw a simple picture with both Palettes. Left side is the original palette.
One can easily see that the picture changes drastically in look and feel with the
wrong palette colors. The original palette colors match each other much better, and thus look good together.
Whereas the alternate crap palette has huge contrasted shift in colors, and many of them do not look very good together.
The atmosphere and mood of the picture also changes.
Click it to enlarge it to get the real idea. As in its small form, things change a lot due to the pixels being closer together.

I, for one, would would be less than satisfied if I paid $600+ for a repro playfield that doesnt match at least 98%+...
Xiaou2:
The very first picture is showing an original -vs- CPR remake.
On a single plastic, I counted over 12 huge errors, such as missing windows and missing shading on objects.
The latter pictures of the slingshots, Im not sure who ran those remakes. I know it was before the full plastics run that CPR did. However they may have also do those too. Not sure.
All I can say, is that you can see, especially from the last picture I drew, that even a small shift in colors can produce a drastic effect.
I know not all people have the artistic eye.. but I believe especially that people who get a repro that is drastically different are going to notice, and not be too happy about it.
Especially when they pay huge money to revamp their machines, and then possibly Lower the value of their machines, with a repro part.
Its downright criminal that amateurs are at the helm of such an operation.
Its like putting the Janitor in charge of the School.
Only qualified artists should be at the helm of such projects.
(Heck, they might be able to get hold of the original artwork files too)

We live in a free market. Why don't you go hire some professional artists, buy the best equipment available for producing the playfields and plastics sets, and open up a distribution network. I'll look forward to you 100% faithful reproductions.
...and they'll sell for a loss at $1,000 a pop.

Is that an actual condition you have? If it is, I was not aware, I thought it was just jim shooting his mouth off.

Their playfields don't sell for $600 retail. At least none of the playfields I bought, including the two level and special editions, sold for that much.
