I'm working on reproducing these for the single and dual monitors. I received a couple of what we believe are NOS CPOs, does anybody else have a NOS CPO or has seen one?

I'm concerned that these do not have holes cut already, but I have compared the single slot to my original panel and it seems very accurate, except for no holes and the more of a textured finish.

I've attached pics of the CPOs that I believe are NOS. Any thoughts? I'd hate to start recreating and printing these to find I'm using the wrong sample.

Thanks,
Anthony

The Dual Overlay looks like a reproduction from another vendor. If it's thick it probably is. I believe the lighter purple is suppose to be a bit more pronounced.

Yeah here's an original to compare:

The thing is, aside from the textured finish and no holes the artwork looks dead one and these do look screen printed. I'm pretty sure nobody else has screen printed them recently, which leads me to believe Nintendo may have released these as replacements back in the day.

I've compared the single slot a nice original panel I have here and can't see any differences in artwork.

Anything is possible I suppose. Do you have a copy of the current repro ones being made to compare with?
 
If they could be die-cut for holes, even if that wasn't original (but I'm pretty sure it was), it would be awesome.
 
Anthony,

I have a dual monitor CPO that was sold to me as NOS that looks very similar to your pictures, but the box on the top left is more purple than blue. It may just be the appearance in the picture. The backing on mine appears slightly different - "Scotch 3M 468 Hi Performance Adhesive." I guess mine could be a repro, but it is definitely screen printed, not ink jet. Nothing punched on mine.
 
Thanks for the info. I have a real nice original single monitor panel and I've sent to my printer as well as the single monitor CPO. I'll see what they say, they can probably just scan directly from panel for the artwork.

I'm not doing anything with the dual monitor one yet, want to see what I can do with the single monitor as I know my panel is original and really nice. I still plan on doing the dual monitor in the near future.

I need both so I'm happy either way. :)
