I am really hoping I have some cash when they roll out those repro playfields. I emailed them a while back asking to be put on a mailing list when they are getting close.

I've never dealt with him before so I don't know. The plastics are manufactured by classicplayfields.com out of Canada. Marco resells pre-sealed envelopes with the plastic inside and the outside labeled with the game name. My guess is this will be a normal return process, but I'll report here if I get jammed.

Yeah, I just exchanged a few emails too asking about the playfields. I can't remember the exact quote, but led me to believe I shouldn't be looking for them for a year or two.   :-\




Ya know... there are three helicopters advertised and included in the plastics set. But, I've never been able to find a picture of where all of them fit on the playfield. I know that one of them is mounted where the ball comes out of the shute when you pull the plunger, but even on the official flyer it doesn't seem like there's more than one. Any ideas?


EDIT: Does anyone have a link where I can learn the terminology for all the common parts of a pinball machine? "bumper skirt", "plunger", etc.

I was assured the set I bought was PETG - it wasn't.  And they snap in half if you sneeze on them.

Woah! Seriously? Did you buy product made by Classic Playfields (via any of their resellers)? If this is true I'm gonna be pretty pissed off. I bought this stuff expecting that it's top notch given what I paid for it.

Where are they out of and what PF are they doing?

Good luck Boz, please keep us posted.

Nice one Boz! That was on my list before I picked up the SW pin.
