Your attention to detail is incredible swinks. I don't have a creature but would snap one of these up if I did!

Thanks for the compliments….

Re: ** (CFTBL) Creature Retro Snackbar Mod** price release
« Reply #46 on: September 27, 2014, 01:45:04 PM »
Hi All

I have finished the test units and just have to pack and send them. I will wait a week for feedback and then place orders for the first production batch.

The price is finalised and is set at $175 Aus Dollars + Postage

Register Postage for one kit is
 - within Aus $10.00 Aus
 - USA and Canada $20.00 Aus
 - UK, Germany (Europe in general) $24.00 Aus

there is a growing list so if you are interested let me know and I will place you in the line and I will notify you when I am starting the batch you are in when to pay - basically asking for full payment a week before posting out. If I do not get a response / payment within a week (at the time of posting) I will offer your place to the next people in line in the next batch and you will be substituted into the position of the person that replaced you or cancelled off the list if you let me know that you are not keen at all and do not want to be on the list anymore.

Batches will be 25 at a time with a estimated 4-6 week turn around though I will try to improve this with practise but limited as the snackbar tops are made in Europe.

The photos below are of the white el wire installed from different angles as well as what you get in a kit.

The Kit includes:
1 x brushed stainless steel base plate with decal fitted
1 x snack bar top with decal fitted with a plug and play el wire lead (white)
1 x red dome
1 x plug and play 2 metre wiring harness including fuse holder / fuse, z connector, elwire inverter with a quick connector to plug the elwire lead into
3 x locator / standoffs
5 x black screws
5 x stainless steel screws
2 x nuts
6 x washers
1 x allen key

Over the weekend I will put together a manual and this will be available as a download so people can see what is involved and use to assemble there kit.

This kit is complete but it can also be personalised with different colour elwire strands which can be purchased from the below link for under $10 (3ft strand of 2.6mm with a quick connector)

http://www.elwirepros.com/super-bright-25mm-qc-el-wi25.html


I got pink elwire for my machine and I got an aqua blue just to test - but every kit will go out with just white which looks cool and blends in with the graphic and game.

photo 1 - white elwire (this looks blue because of the colour of the mod and the grove it sits in)
photo 2 - aqua elwire
photo 3 - pink elwire
photo 4 - el wire options

Though it must be noted that the camera does not truly capture the colours of the elwire, as the aqua looks more blue than the photo. The pink is slightly dull in intensity compared to the white as the elwire sits in a coloured sheath. White is the brightest.

Video coming over the weekend with pink installed.

for those purchasing and wanting to know how to install this mod, please download, read and become familiar with how to install it - I will make some improvements and fix some minor wording mistakes in the next few days.

here is a quick video showing the mod from different angles, with non standard el wire (pink) and taken in the middle of the day - sorry about the quality just a bit of fun.

That looks great mate looking forward to mine arriving.

     I noticed your snack bar targets are a bit bare I purchased some decals for mine I bought a couple of sets so must have some floating around if you want them?

Hi mate

Hopefully your mod arrives today, goodolddays got his yesterday.

I have the target decals ready but soon the creech is being stripped, along with a new cabinet and new playfield to be installed but thanks for the offer.

Well I received my snack bar mod today and was impressed before I'd even assembled it the aqua moulding and decals look like a factory add on Jady had already won me on this mod just from that.

   Was very easy to install zero modification which I love in a mod and everything fitted perfectly.   Wiring is so basic instructions really sent needed but for those who need them are well written and plenty of photos.

   Installed and turned on the white el wire with the aqua housing looks amazing I can't recommend this mod enough I can't wait to see other people reaction when I show them.

Here are some before and after photos

Mod is very cool Dude  ^^^
Me thinks you better stop shooting the snack bar though, or put in a cliffy protector for the scoop  #@#
If it isn't broke, it isn't pinball.
