My Creature from the Black Lagoon mods
« on: July 22, 2009, 05:00:02 PM »
Hi all,

Just thought I'd post a couple of pics of recent and in-expensive green mods to my CFTBL pin.

Green flipper rubbers, these look great on yellow flipper bats!!

Green flipper buttons & a transluscent green shooter rod, all these parts are very affordable easy mods to do.

A big thanks to Mark C from PSP for stocking these parts, they just look awesome..   ^^^ good work mate.

Did the shooter rod cost $5.95 and the rubbers cost $1.50 each?

Have you done the Pop bumper colour mods?. When done it looks like the game should have had them to start with IMO.

 ^^^ Looking good. I did mine with the same green rings, but with black flipper bats. Where did you get the cool green translucent shooter rod?

The green shooter rod came from mark c from Pinball Spare Parts only $15.00, well worth the bucks imo

these are a new item on his parts page..

Yep you can get translucent green (sort of an emerald clour) which is what i used. I also changed the skirts to teal green which is a similar colour to the playfield. I also ran some little#555 lamp sockets under the caps to illuminate the pops off the GI-tight fit but do-able. I thought it looked pretty good when finished.

Just another thought as I went and had a look at my former CFTBL last night with a request from it's present owner - pop bumper n/w - just a broken wire on the solenoid but 2 out of 3 of the globes in my pop mod wasn't working so I would suggest if anyone else does this mod use the wedge 555 base with metal strip legs (like FS,FT etc) and not the flexible wire ones as I think the globes are blowing from too much vibration.Just a thought and I'll order some just in case I buy the game back *%*

I used Teal waffers and pop-bumper caps which I found to match the game perfectly. Defo a lot better than the red IMO.
