No Longer Available PRICE DROP: Creature from the Black Lagoon

[thewool]

Creature from the Black Lagoon. Bought as a project but got it to a certain stage and just played it. Please read all the details below and study the photos, it's far from perfect but plays well.

The bad:

- Hologram black. Was going to source an aftermarket option but this is for the buyer to decide
- Bad playfield wear to FILM lights, covered up by decal. Decal on 'FREE PASS' insert. Wear between I and D lanes, covered up and mylared. Some wear above top of lagoon window
- Gap front left top of cabinet overall feels solid
- Wear and tear to cabinet
- The left playfield lock seems to jam but can be freed quite easily
- Power board repair, I left it as it seems quite tidy

The good:

- Re-rubbered and cleaned a few years ago
- Better condition ramps fitted
- Swinks snackbar mod installed
- Cliffy added to snack bar
- New lagoon window and decals fitted
- New mirror fitted
- New bowl fitted
- New ramp flaps fitted
- Broken plastics replaced with new repros
- New star posts, other guides and pop bumpers cover
- New creature bulb guide installed in backbox
- DMD all ok

Looking for £2900 ono. I'm located in the North East, due to the condition I recommend to come and view/play the game. Martin knows where I am. I've tried to take pictures of everything but if you want others or more info let me know.

The price on this pin is dropping faster than Gregg Wallaces towel.

Gregg Wallace was the previous owner, true story! He said he liked a dip into a moist and murky lagoon...

Edit: does that make it more valuable?

It's now worth as much as a Rolf Harris painting

^^^^ My mate had an autographed doodle from him , (we cater for tv and he'd fed him on a shoot) which he’d framed, he binned it!

Your mate's doodle was autographed by Rolf Harris? Not that surprising really.

Price drop to £2900 ono. Added a photo of the gap on the left side of the cabinet, also the right side as a comparison.

FYI The power board repair is on pins 13, 14, 15 on connector J115.

To clarify, left playfield lock issue means the thing that's attached underneath the playfield and sits on the rail inside the cabinet. It sometimes jams when lifting the playfield out, I think it's slightly bent but not a major problem.
