just seems to make sense. i'm sure that part of the appeal of the fathom
repros was the "perfect storm" of playfield, plastics and backglass (and
now cabinet!)

pretty sure a NOS set went for the low $300s

i wouldn't, financially it would make more sense to send it off the bill d
(or similar) to have it clearcoated. would take less work on your part
(don't have to deal with under pf wiring swap etc)

No clear for this game. Just a coat of wax on a regular basis.

So you would buy a set? Correct?

Plastics (and backglasses for that matter) are parts we are certainly
interested in working on. There will be downtime between playfield
silkscreening where the press can be made useful. But we need to be patient
and become masters of the silkscreen press first. Once we do, look out  

As for the initials, you should have seen the animated GIF that we were
going to use for the landing page at our web site. It was a pinball machine
being given 'CPR' by an EMT, pumping the chest (playfield) of the machine.
It was hilarious, but soooooo tacky. We yanked it before launch.

I would buy a set. I have a nice C2 PF that didn't have mylar, it's
not worn badly anywhere, but the white has faded to that murky
newsprint color. I want the new playfield so the whites "pop".

If BG's are made too I doubt they'd do C2, but I would entertain buying
a big time cab with centaur painted graphics if I had a backglass to go
with it and swap the whole machine over.

Kevin:
I would love to see the animation. Post it here or on your website. I'm
sure I'm not alone. Thanks for the reply. I know there are others
interested and I will be patient.
