We finished our work on this beautiful Creature From the Black Lagoon pinball machine just in time for Christmas! This machine is always popular, and why shouldn’t it be? It has a great theme, a fun layout, and sweet game play. We made this machine even better with some custom touches. Enjoy your Christmas present, Kyle!
Bally came out with Creature From the Black Lagoon in 1992, and produced around 7,850 machines. (IPDB)
The game has been popular from the start, and always commands attention. According to Bally, that’s what happens when you combine the excitement of a classic monster flick with the fun of a drive-in-movie date.
We gave this game a full shop job, tearing everything off the playfield to be washed, polished, tumbled, buffed, or otherwise cleaned.
This game is in great condition and everything works 100%!
We also installed Cointaker LEDs throughout the machine: insert, GI, and flashers.
Special touches throughout the game! Check out the green LEDs in the ramp lights!
The hologram is in amazing shape too!
Enjoy the game, Kyle! I don’t know when we’ll get another CFTBL!
