Just picked up this cpo. I thought I remember seeing in one of phet's thread that he had this same cpo: Revision E and that it was NOS.

I don't know if it's NOS or repro but would like to know. It's hard to tell from the pictures but the holes are cut for this cpo.

I am fairly confident that it's nos, and I do intend to sell it, but I don't want to misrepresent it.
 
hard to say from a photo but it kinda looks like a repro as it seems darker/more muted colors like the repros have
I think how I take pictures (lack of talent) contributes to shades of colors that can look off. I think as much as anything, the paper on the back of the cpo should be an indicator.

I thought it looked NOS, and still do think that.

the backing is a little wierd the Atari NOS Ive seen dont have just 3m
can anyone confirm an Arcadeshop repro backing?
Im not sure if Arcade Renovations did any and pretty sure that would be the only silkscreened repro(s) out there from previously.
 
This is my NOS Rev E CPO:

And the backing:

Well when you decide what you want for it, I am interested. Thanks
 
got another one today, no revision or 3m markings on the back. definitely silk-screened

this newest arrival looks awesome, but has brighter, lighter colors, and varies a bit in font.
Rich what's your opinion on this one?
 
99.9% that would be Arcadeshop

I saw what arcadeshop has on their site for sale, and it has some type of revision on there.

not saying this isn't one of their old ones, but for cost reasons you wouldn't think they would change it would they?
