NEW KLAX mini side art - attention Carrie Z

I'm fine with waiting, and honestly, nothing else to do if it's not available.
I do express annoyance with being told 'its coming' on some non specific time horizon, especially considering there's a ton of other promises made that haven't been fulfilled yet.


That said...

I'd love to see a proper silk screen repro of this. If Darin could be convinced, I'd put my money where my mouth is and preorder.
 
I heard from Kendra again today and it looks like this project is well underway! I'll update with details when I get them. :D
 
Neat! I retract my kvetching. Ordered the side art.

Wondering if they're working on the CPO repro as well, as that's not on the website at the moment.
 
CPO is a weird omission, they seem like they'd be the best sellers of the bunch, since they universally look like garbage. Even the proto #1 machine that sold on eBay a couple weeks back had a browned CPO.

This. CPO should be the top priority for Klax cabaret reproduction pieces. As you said, they all seem to look terrible and it is a much more apparent piece of artwork than the sideart since the CPO also doubles as the cabinet's marquee.
 
When I spoke to Kendra, it was only about the side art (which was the original subject of this thread). She told me that they had been loaned some NOS side art, but I have no idea if This Old Game has a source to use for the CPO. Since they aren't KLOV members any longer, someone who needs the CPO might want to reach out to them directly and ask if it can happen.
 
A tube mailer arrived today. I've not opened it up but I expect it to be Klax sideart and a little something else I ordered. Ordered June 27, Arrive July 2, well within the 15 day window. Thank you.

Still hoping to find Cabaret Klax CPO sometime soon.
 
I just looked up my old messages to Kendra at This Old Gmand it turns out that I did mention to her a couple of months ago that a bunch of folks wanted the CPO, too. Following up with them might make it happen sooner, but wanted everyone to know that it should be on their radar.
 
This sure is disappointing. I guess if your side art is thrashed, it might be better.

Disclaimer: Unfortunately the color gamut of original side art is out of range. Even with a 8 color solvent it still can't come close enough to a proper color match for the Red and Pink due to their high contrast properties.

That was the challenge with this repro from their perspective. At least they've disclosed it up front, and in the case of missing or severely browned side art, this is an improvement.

Still would like to have a CPO though.
 
I got a reply back from Kendra at TOG regarding the CPO:

"We have only completed the side art & bezel at this time.
I'll need an original control panel to scan before I can make a cpo
Thanks again and Game oN!"
