Another crappy plastic set from pinball center

What's going on with those screw holes too??
Made with a soldering iron?

Yep, all like that and laser burning on the paper at the back. Had some like this before and said will never buy again but had no choice.
They have low standards as some of us already know.
It’s not actually anything like the original, it’s missing loads of artwork.
Edit : or is that a plastic in front of it

And a short piece....

Plastic in front, I thought that too at first.
To be fair my Diner plastics from CPR where a noticeably different colour to the originals. Their response was along the lines of "once you replace them all, that colour becomes the new normal" which is somewhat true I guess.
No repro plastic sets are perfect but I have given up buying anything from pinball Center
To be fair you have to balance up having broken originals or not so good repro plastics. You could get Col to make you some blue protectors that will make them look better.
Shame peteb's isn't a full set

He is making some clear protectors for me, they don’t look too bad when lit where as Peteb’s look washed out. Seen pics on pinside where someone wasn’t happy. Also I have tried to contact him through here and his website back in October about a robowar translite and heard nothing back. Hope he is ok.
Being completely honest I think @xianek makes better translites than Pete. Fitted a Flintstones alternative onto a friends machine and you could really see the LEDs behind the translite. I nearly fitted a defuser between the lamps and the translite but in the game my friend sold the machine.
Had other bits from Pete and would say his side blade art and cabinet decals are extermely good.

Was going to order the Robocop decals from Pete but because I heard nothing previously I decided against it.
Pinball centre is an enigma. Bought both the best plastic set I’ve ever owned and the worst!

That’s what I was hoping as I had poor quality the last order I had
Wont look as bad when they have all been replaced, will be the lighter blue new normal
