oh dear, you're a member here?  :o

Now I'm really surprised...positive :)


Yes, it's from Rich. I bought the whole package: bezel, marquee, CPO

Bezel and marquee are great, though the bezel is a little different in the gradient parts. I cannot say about the marquee, 'cause mine is very worn and flaky. Don't get me wrong, all the stuff looks amazing, but there are differences to the original.


btw...I love your videos. You explain everything and that's great. And thanks to your video now I know how to install the upper metal bar for the monitor ;)

Well, I wrote a PM to Rich in which I told him about the imperfections in his Journey CPO. Here's what he replied:

Quote
sorry I wast the one that printed those cpos
it was Brian Jones over at GameStencils.com
I only offered them with the package to the other pieces I did to make it easier on everybody.
ALL of the cpo repros will be the same
this wasnt an easy reproduction to do
and some of the details had to be recreated for color separations
to make a silk screen possible.
unfortunately even the current inkjet versions out there are done from a scan of this repro.

I put the CPO on my game last night. It looks good and I'm not gonna worry about it!

No, it doesn't look good...it looks great!! :)

If I wouldn't have the original to compare I would already have glued it to the panel ;)
