Classic KISS Playfield Swap

Posted on May 27, 2015 by Kris Bliznick

We just finished a playfield swap on this KISS pinball machine. Combined with the work that had been done earlier, this is now a great-looking machine! Check it out!

KISS1 — Bally came out with this game in 1978, and produced 17,000 machines. (IPDB)

KISS2 — When the owner purchased this game, the cabinet had been repainted, but the playfield was worn. He started the playfield swap, then asked us to finish it.

KISS3 — We finished transferring everything to the new playfield, cleaned up a couple of issues on the cabinet, and put in a new board too.

KISS4 — We installed LEDs in the game as well.

KISS5 — Counting the 1978 solo albums, Kiss has been awarded 28 gold albums to date, the most of any American rock band. (Wiki)

KISS6 — The band’s face paint, stage antics, elaborate live performances, and, of course, music, have inspired a legion of fans, the KISS Army.

KISS7 — The owner of this game is definitely a huge fan, if you couldn’t tell.

KISS8 — The best touch on this game? This Gene Simmons shooter rod the owner picked up a few years ago. It’s the perfect finishing touch for a big KISS fan!
