I know it's OT, but there's not exactly a Centaur forum around... Just wondering what is up? People are starting to badmouth Gene over the Centaur delays... surely a sample playfield could have made it from Canada to Illinois by now? I appreciate the quality checks, but I will go on record right now saying I'd take my playfield based solely on CPR's pics.... it's still 10 times better than what is in my game anyway. Any ETA on the final invoice and/or shipping dates? It'd be a shame if the Gene-bashers can use this to trash IPB, but that is what appears to be happening :( Let's git 'er done.

Hi,

We are waiting for the sample playfield to arrive. Kevin thought that it would be here by Friday but we are still waiting.

It seems that it is hard for people to understand (RGP) that I would like to see a sample of what I am buying before I send money.

I think they will do a great job. But there has been some misinformation on RGP concerning what is going on. I will not post those matters due to the fact that the issues are between IPB and CPR and need to stay that way.

It is nothing serious just a miscommunication but it slowed everything down.

The boxes are ready the invoices are close to being done it all hinges on when the playfield arrives.

The BBB project is moving forward again.

The playfields looks great and held up well during game play.

The "clear coat" has cured and the "new" company is putting together both the top and bottom of the playfields.

I will have some pictures as soon as Gene looks at them.

Thanks for the info.. I don't mind waiting on Centaur, just don't like seeing the unnecessary drama and bullshiznit gary seems to always want to start. Heck, I won't have time for a swap til fall most likely.

Re: BBB, If this 'new company' is doing tops AND bottoms, are you still going to need any help at all? I haven't heard anything for a while...

My thoughts concerning Gary,

(this stems from his obsession with trying to talk people out of buying the funhouse playfield)

I will speak to TOG and find out what they are doing.

He is off this week so I will ask him as soon as I see him.

Now that we are moving forward again I would like to ask everyone to email the correct shipping address and game # to me at kim@illinoispinball.com

No we are not ready to ship them out yet.

Mom has all of the paper work done and we just want to double check while she has a "little" free time and make sure all of the addresses are correct. Sometimes the handwritten ones are a little hard to decipher.

Thanks for your help on this matter.

Kim,

Are you referring to BBB and not to the Centaur playfields here ? I will have my playfield shipped to my house but the BBB will probably go to work where there is a loading dock or maybe some other location. Have any arrangements been made with shipping companies.

Thanks

Robert, yes I would assume that as well. Do you know if we are going to be responsible for shipping arrangements or is IPB going to handle this. I have two possible locations for shipping (one with a loading dock) and will decide based on cost. I'm sure there are many in the same boat. Thanks

At this point I am not sure about the shipping we are just double checking our paperwork at this time.

When they are closer to a shipping date we will let everyone know.
