Creature From The Blue Lagoon

[Solar Sailer]

This one was local to me so reached out and arranged a viewing.
Initial review.
Cab is unmarked.
There is no Operator assets tags anywhere so wondering if it ever was sited. There is a £1, 50p 20pand 10p coin validator.
Incandescent lamps.
Aged rubbers
All the chase lights, light up.
All original circuit boards with no hacks.
Original manual in unused condition

When I had a look yesterday it had a credit dot so knew it could be holding a number of issues but it's here now and changed the batteries.. LOOK AT THE DATE.... and its fired up with no credit dot.
Playfield needs a good clean.
The hologram and what's left of it is blue so will need some investment there.
I'm quite chuffed.

You can't call it blue unless your blue is on the car

Also was this the one that was at 4k on FB?

 

[swinks]

congrats

one of the reasons for the credit dot is if the top ramp leading to the whirlpool has not been accessed for a while (15-20 games) and once you trigger that switch that error is removed

Yup... Did you buy at asking price? You don't need to state the exact number

 

[Solar Sailer]

I got it below the asking price. They had offers which I was not going to match so told them to chase the offers first and if no luck come back to me and I can collect same day and keep it easy.
4hrs later I get a message offering it me.
So now on the @swinks wait list for snack bar and wondering what to do with the holigram area. I do like the LCD.
Mrs Solar Sailer is away so can take deliveries for a while

If you go the LCD you'll be the only other person who's done it. I tried to put a group buy forward a while back and it got such a negative response that the one person I was going to order with bailed.

His price has gone up now btw its about £850 (after import) for the screen kit.

My mate made an offer but you must have made a better one. Good luck with it!

Also you've probably already done it, but change those batteries out ASAP ouch 2008!

Yep, the batteries were causing the credit dot as no date/time save function.
I saw on Pinside mixed reviews for the LCD but I like it buts it's a big chunk of change and will be a sunk cost.
Cheaper to fly out there for the day and pick it up if I do go for it.
It was still in development when I had my last Creech.

So there's two versions I'm aware of, this one is linked to the game switches you get a raspberry Pi and it links to the modes to show the progress. The other in the states just links end mode showing a video instead of the Hologram moving. I could be wrong on that but do your research.

The one I have is based in Europe.
