@Gaz Shiells brought to my attention that CPR (Classic Playfield Reproductions) are now taking pre-orders on PARAGON playfields. A long time ago CPR had said to me they wouldn't be able to do widebody games until they got a bigger sanding machine, but it now appears that their 25" machine has been upgraded to a massive 50" sanding monster! I note that they are also doing the super-widebody SPACE INVADERS too.
So, I thought I'd start a little thread to discuss the pros and cons of a CPR playfield, general thoughts, experiences from those who have one, who's taken the plunge and put their name on a PREORDER INBOX, etc.
Current OPEN inboxes are:
PARAGON $799
SPACE INVADERS $799
ELVIRA and the PARTY MONSTERS $749
FISH TALES $749
NITRO GROUNDSHAKER $649
Whilst I would deeply love a brand-spanking-new playfield for PARAGON, the $799 price tag plus $119 shipping to Europe and the inevitable 20% import duty (grand total ~$1,100 or about £715) is way out of my price range!
