I just finished ordering my long-awaited Firepower repro playfield from CPR. I am very excited to get it and start the rebuild process for one of my Firepowers. I ordered it without clearcoat so it can be thoroughly checked for any flaws or insert issues then be clearcoated by HSAPinball.
I was fortunate to meet Steve Ritchie and he was gracious enough to sign my Firepower topper (and also my BK2K topper) that comes with the CPR plastics set. I ordered a plastics set when they were first released and I am also ordering a spare at a reduced price with my playfield.
I will have a repro cabinet built and have a stencil set to paint it.
This will be a very involved build and upgrade for me and probably my only one. I have a special attachment to firepower and have always wanted a prisitine version with upgraded flippers and an immaculate clear-coated playfield. I will also add some other elements as well. One that I am considering is powdercoating all or some of the metal items such as the side rails, legs, coin door, and lock-bar red. I saw that done on a No-Fear and it really gave the pin some added pop.
The fun begins....
