Picked up an "Elivra and the Party Monsters" pin to work on after finishing with a decidedly crappy Playboy 35th that went out the door a few months back.

All in all the unit is in pretty good shape, just some elbow grease and a little TLC should get her back on her pretty feet again. What I'm looking for though is the plastic (or chrome?) Bally logo that attaches to the top of the speakers. This machine was an old arcade piece (complete with gum stuck to the back of her - lol), so the logo is long gone. Any ideas? Am willing to pay for an original from a downed Party Monsters game or if I can be convinced to adapt her to take on another games Bally mark that might work to.

Might even be looking for the "rare" skeletal finger flippers that I believe evolved into the Scared Stiff flippers a few years later.


Thanks for reading and I look forward to talking pinball with you guys in the near future.

Thank you, she's a thing of beauty to be sure. A little mylar and a few tweaks and she'll be photo ready, lol.
I had a chance at one last year as well, but dare I say she was in too good of condition and that reflected in the price. I got her this time around for a decent dollar from a man who used to work for Calgary Amusements back in the day. He told me that she'd been cleaned up about 8 years ago by the onsite tech and hasn't seen much use since (playtime audit appeared to back up his story). He kept the unit so that his son could learn the joys of pinball... but he'd much rather play xbox, in fact when we were there inspecting Elvira the kid was glued to the console. The side and backbox art is in pretty nice shape the only real issue is a small gash in the middle of the playfield and the Cyclops plastic has been glued back together from the looks of things (likely smashed to bits a time or two). Game plays nicely though, dispite those things. She has a place right next to my Tales from the Crypt pin... and will hopefully look good next to a CFTBL machine someday, lol.
