Creature From the Black Lagoon by Bally (High End Restoration)

Our high-end restoration games are truly a pinball collector’s dream.  Each machine is completely restored to better than new condition.  Pristine cabinets, backglass, and playfields are the result of over 100 hours of detailed craftsmanship and new, high-quality materials.  These highly collectible machines look like a new machine coming off the assembly line. They also have clear-coated playfields that protect the playfield from wear and will make your showpiece last a lifetime.  We are in an elite class of companies that can offer these completely restored machines.

We will collect a 50% deposit to begin restoring a machine and it takes 3-4 months to complete.
