Quoted from Rdoyle1978:Just got mine! Installing tomorrow...
great to hear
all kits sold out for the moment
maybe not the best time to post this since all are sold out but I am super impressed with this mod. Not only is it beautiful and creatively done, it is built like a tank! It makes the rest of my play field look cruddy in comparison.. Worth every cent. Now if I can just find the time to install it...
thanks guys,
I am building more but taking a more fun approach: which is do it when time allows and when I feel like it, so not mass produced and pumped out

It is f-Ing great to add to the machine - the quality is outstanding (you know when you feel something in your hand you can just tell if it's well made or if it's crap), and the design is great - fits perfectly with the 50s style. Plus the light show looks great too. I love this game but I think it benefits from a little upgrade here and there.
Wish the drive-in movie sign mod was this high quality!

been sitting on an idea that fits in this field though slightly different
Quoted from Lushtech:I am in for one whenever you can get it built....at your leisure of course....
Me too!
Quoted from shiffdog:Me too!
basically if you are keen send me a pm ("Snackbar Mod" in the subject line) with your full name, address, phone number and email) to lock in a position on the wait list. I will get back to you promptly to let you know you are on the list. If you don't provide all the details then I won't put you on the list as will consider you not seriously wanting one.
$240 AUD + postage ($16 AUD in Aus, $25.50AUD to the US, $30 to Europe), no money down until ready to post, and will give you 7 days to pay and then if no response / payment your position will be offered to the next waiting person on the list.
I am not pumping these out and just do small batches of 10 in between projects, work and family life so no deadlines - keeping it enjoyable.
Hope that helps, cheers

Spill the beans! Got anything in mind to fix up the drive-in movie sign?
Quoted from ToucanF16:Spill the beans! Got anything in mind to fix up the drive-in movie sign?
I don't have a drive-in sign but working on something representing what is on the plastic behind the slide vuk / wireform that is a hidden detail that could be cool when I get the scale right, but could possibly work on a Starlight sign in the future as long as I am not stepping on any toes of the original creator (any links to what was done in the past).

Love the restauration, beautiful done, with eye for detail. Just wondering if you used an OCD board for the leds?
WOW Dirni!... That vid of your restoration of CFTBL was an 11+.
How you took that game (beat to a pulp), to such a piece of art was amazing! 
I can honestly say, that I usually don't watch a 30 min video, but man, that was intriguing to watch every minute. You did an amazing job on restoring that game.
Thanks for sharing!
Kerry
BTW: my CFTBL is the only game I've owned the longest, since 1995'. I would love to tear it down, and bring it back to it's glory. I just don't think I could take on a project that you did, by myself.
I would certainly think maybe doing a group restore (3-4) guys/gals, doing our games at the same time, may be a fun / interesting way to get it accomplished.
I may post something like that to see "if" there maybe interest.
Thanks again for such a cool video / project!

super easy and very very well made thx Jady you rock
thankyou Pete, Enjoy
and a big thank you for all the support through 2016 from all Pinsiders with the Snackbar Mods, have a great Christmas and even better 2017. Am doing 2 more batches of Snackbar mods early 2017 and then working on a few other things for a bit.

I am doing 2 small runs of 12 units each between Jan - March and then taking a small break (3-6 months) to work on some other projects.
The Aussie Dollar has been struggling and looks like getting worse so as of 1st Jan 2017 the mod will go up a little (4%) by $10 to $250 AUD - as some parts come from Europe and US and will cost more.
The best I can do is offer a no money down reservation on the wait list to get it at the current $240 AUD each but you will need to message me before the end of December.
Simply send me a pm with your
Full Name
Address
Phone
Email
to reserve a mod
Hope everyone has had a good Christmas and all the best for 2017 - and thanks for the support during 2016.

Just got mine installed tonight! Thanks Jady. Awesome quality and fit and finish on it is amazing!
And now the rest of the story.... When I ordered this, I had a complete bonehead moment and gave Jady the wrong house address, right street, wrong house...I don't know, Sr. moment or something... deliver attempted, and returned to sender....of course this was right before Christmas and the post office didn't give us the time of day and told us to wait or file a claim... long story short, it finally showed up back with Jady and he kindly sent it out again...this time I gave him the right address. So my mod has traveled around the globe twice! and since I live about 15 miles away from comet pinball, the LEDs have traveled the world 3x!
Anyway, my point is Jady goes way above and beyond in every part of the transaction!
Hope to have mine installed in a few months. (Waiting for playfield to come back) Looks great Swinks!

31-3-17 - just one last update, just finished the last batch and now have just 4 remaining in stock and then that is it for a while - finally gotta get to some other projects. So into the vault for a little while.
these are $250 AUD each plus postage to the US / Canada is $25.50 + another $5 to Europe.
Thanks for all the support and hope you are all enjoying your CFTBL.
cheers

hi guys, basically got 4 or 5 left and that's it for the year, as not making any more unless their is the demand, and busy designing a custom pin.
send me a pm if you are keen for one with your full details (name, address and phone)
cheers
Jady
I think no matter how you mod it, this one is a winner. Totally transforms the space and feels like it should have been there in the first place. I have one from the first run and it's given me zero trouble in the last 18 months or so under very frequent play. The snack bar mod and LCD mod are essential IMO and I'm happy to have both in my creech.

If anyone is on the fence, get them before they are gone. This mod is great.
I got one while playfield was out for restoration. Looking forward to putting it on in the next month or so.
cheers guys for the kind comments,
with the sudden interest, it looks like all of the last 5 might be gone if those people follow through with the payment (giving them 7 days to pay - then open to other interested parties)

Quoted from grandDD:Do you still have a snack bar mod available to ship to France?
thank you

I will have to see after a week if the 5 people pay and then see if any are available, best I can do is put you on a reserve list, 1 person is in front of you.
I designed and manufactured a creature topper.
Manufactured a speaker panel light mod because this is no longer available a for sale a few weeks ago.
But also flashes light bumper, because there is no light in the bumpers.
I also want to install your mod snack bar and also if possible the movies poster mod.
Here are three video links of what I did on my creature.
sorry for my English.
