TAF Mystery: Orange not Yellow on the cab?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.pinball (More info?)

I just received a spectacular HUO TAF from Gameroom Warehouse. What I
haven't seen before is that the cabinet artwork is orange where I've always
seen it yellow. It's screened, not a decal, and does not appear to be faded
as it's uniform everywhere (and I don't think yellow would fade to orange
anyway).

Here are photos of my regular "yellow" TAF and my new orange TAF:

If it's any help, the s/n is 20017 060358 and the DOM is 92125. I think
this translates to Monday May 4, 1992 -- which would put it well into normal
production. Maybe this was just a fluke at the screener where they used the
wrong color on cabs that day? Well, at least if it *does* fade it should
fade to yellow ;-)

FYI, I snagged it on eBay for $3995 -- it was a bit of a gamble as I've seen
mixed reviews and they didn't have proof of HUO ownership. But seeing the
game in person, it looks brand new -- incredible condition. The only flaw
was a chip in the chair hole, which they repaired for me before shipping it
out.

Dude, you got screwed, cut your losses. Sell it to me for 2800. I can
paypal right away :>)

Just kidding, Pretty cool to have something that is a bit different
that others.

don't think it's a mystery...

creatures, funhouses and tons of others that come thru my hands unfaded all
have different tints or shades... just think it depends if you got one off a
certain run or near the beginning or end of printing ?!

or they did some nice airbrushing and pulled one over on you ? i'll give ya
2500 and take the gamble and check it over for ya ! hit me with your paypal
address and i'll get the bennies on the way ;-)

True. Remember the mystery of the different colored eyes on cftbl cabs?
Probably just different runs using a slightly different dye lot.
