Mine goes into attract mode every 20 mins or so..

Ok, it did go into attract mode with sound about a couple minutes after a game ended. Super cool!

Nice! I was thinking I need to replace mine, but didn't know where to get one... Thanks dude!

Thanks to Bryan Kelly in all honesty. I saw his recent resto done (Amazing btw!) on here for another Pinsider. Really nice piece.

I just finished my Side Rail Mod for CFTBL....see post here

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/cftbl-side-rail-mod#post-2885261

Is there any alternative backboard decals instead of the original replacements?

Also anyone know y some creechs have metal play field side rails and some have wood ? Were the metal early productions?

Does anyone know where I could buy the speaker for the inlane in this picture? If I can't buy it, does anyone have a clue where I could find the file to 3D print something like this?

Swinks has it on ponoko

I think that was the case. When I was looking for one I came across one with the metal rails and it was a early production year.

Any idea what he goes by on there or what it's called? I searched by developer but didn't come up with anything. Thanks!

Edit: NM, http://www.shapeways.com/designer/swinks?li=pb&s=0#more-products for those looking.

Just contact him here on pinside. He is on every day and if you wait long enough you will see something from him. But just PM swinks on pinside and he will get back to you.

hey gothsurferdude

thanks to the others for chiming in, much appreciated

I have my files set up at shapeways so the US guys save on freight as to ship those items to me is $15 USD and then back to you is $16.50 AUD so too much. Shapeways is in New York so you can order direct and only pay $5 USD shipping for a few items. I have a metal one but got a metal plastic for a mate - both look great but the metal plastic looked sweet and great value for money I think.

that and I thought some one stated if a playfield needed a little more straightening ?????

This is a bit of shameless plug but if anyone has an LCD mod for sale, money is waiting for it right here.

Cheers.

mike is going to be running the LCD mod again at some point. probably after he is done with moving house or in the spring of this year

Thanks for that - I really hope so!!!

Cheers.

Does anyone know the name of the song that plays when the game is over?

Looks like I have a lamp matrix issue with creature - the "I" in Kiss, the "I" in Film, the "Search" and the "Playground" insert are all out. Any idea which fuse these are linked to or how I could potentially fix it.

Not a fuse problem.

Go into lamp test mode and test all of the switches in row 2 (12, 22, 32, 42, 52, 62, 72, 82). Hopefully, at least one of those works. If so, that confirms that there is not an on-board problem with the lamp matrix.

If at least one lamp in row 2 works, the problem is that a wire has come disconnected somewhere on the playfield. In your case, it's going to be a red-black wire, and it runs to each of the lamps on this row. Lift the playfield and examine each lamp on row 2. The're all connected to the same wire, so each lamp except the last one will have two red-black wires attached to one lug, and those wires must be connected to each other.

You're almost certainly going to find that one of the red-black wires has detached, and you'll simply need to solder it back onto the lug where it belongs.

I love learning this stuff.....when it's not my game . Keep us posted!

Totally forgot about that.... I was compiling a playlist with all the music of the pins I have and bumped into that doubt once again....

Being a new member of this club (had the machine a couple of years) I have a couple of questions:
#1 Are the legs supposed to be black or silver? Mine are black
#2 Of the hologram mods out there, is it pretty unanimous that Mike D has the best one?
Thanks in advance

Thanks for this!!! I usually rely on friends who are much better at repairing and diagnosing issues when it comes to repairing my games, but I have to "buck up" and learn this stuff myself. I will take a look tonight and report back my findings. Thanks so much!

Black.

There aren't really many options. Either original hologram, repro hologram (not good, I understand), or Mike D's. A lot of people like Mike D's, although I'm a bit of a purist.

My legs are chrome. And yes the Mike D Hologram mod is the best I have seen.

according to the flyer (and the original bill of material specs), the legs are "supposed be" black w/ silver vein (which can be purchased from pinball life and marco's)

however, most (if not all) of the machines actually shipped with chrome legs

Black legs here

Some can always customize

I have had mine since new. It has black legs.

for a holo replacement my first mod ever 4.5 years ago was a collectors creech green transparent figure backlit suspended with fishing line so it can move slightly with a green 9 bulb led - all up less than $50. Still love it.

Very nice Swinks.... I have a similar solution and looks great.... I'll posr some pics later!

That's cool Swinks!!! Any idea where you got that figure from??

Cheers.

it is this one

still a few on amazon a while back

Exactly - glad I have one in the box for spare purposes... The outcome of this MOD is beautiful! Now that's truly 3D!!!!

Thanks Swinks, so is the green guy just dangling by a piece of string, any chance of a small video?

With the LCD mod out of action and the repro hologram being expensive, an alternative would be nice.

I rigged the creech up with clear fishing line and is real effective.

alternatively I found this gadget which would allow you to do a lcd holo but require a little effort of grabbing some video and / or creating some gif files or text over video (created in a home video program - iMovie on a mac)

as you could rig up switch triggers to your FILM down near the flippers and then have a water / pond movie looping

Hi all.

"Geeh... I don't know....."

Maybe you should have used another shade of green?

The green looks good on the habitrails....are there two holes in the lockdown bar?

Hi,

Look next to Marty in "Back to the future III".
The action takes place in a drive in theater.
Does it remind you something ?

Colordmd that baby stat

This is a unique looking game that I believe will be in your collection for a long time to come...

Was just wondering if someone has a scan of the green 'co-starring' sticker that goes on the front of the bowl. Just got a new bowl for my Creech and the old sticker is a bit worn out to transfer over.

Cheers, Kris

Pinball Spare Parts had them up to a little while ago, wouldn't be hard to re-create the decal, let me know if you need a hand
