Creature "Snackbar v3 Kustom"
The Creature "Snackbar" mod was designed in Australia by a CFTBL owner for all the
other CFTBL owners around the world that love their game and want to capture that
classic 50's / 60's feeling of NEON as seen on the playfield art (which can be seen in the
image below to the middle just above the Mega Menu insert). This mod version is a
relative simple one to assemble as a kit and fit with - minimal soldering, no complex tools
and no removal of ramps - just follow the detailed instructions on how to tap holes, paint
and assemble and then refer to the the separate manual on how to remove the Snack Bar
plastic and replace it with the Creature "Snackbar v3.0" Mod.!
Thank you for your support and I hope you will enjoy this mod for many years to come!

- Page 4 Step 2 - Tap the holes in the Snackbar top! Tap 4 holes (marked by the arrows) in the Snackbar top with the M4 x 0.7mm thread using wax / lubricant to avoid stripping the hole. See the below photos as a guide. When tapping the holes in the first photo be aware of the end of the tap as it will come up to the underside of the top surface.
- Page 5 Step 3 - Fit the posts to the SS plate! You first need to separate the 2 posts from the linking sprue using a knife and then you need to tap the internal holes with a M4 x 0.7mm thread. Use vice grips to lightly grip the flats (put some tape on the tips of the vice grips so not to dirty your new parts) of the post and run the tap through to create the thread - make sure to use a wax / lubricant and take it slow, so not to strip the internal hole/s.!
- Page 6 Step 4 - Prepare (Sand & Paint) the Shapeways Snackbar top for painting! Sand the Snackbar top - top, sides, slots, and bottom flat surface - with a 180 grit and then a 240 grit sand paper as the printed part is good but needs to be finer as paint will show up all imperfections.! Tip - I have one large piece of sandpaper taped to a nice flat table top and slide the Snackbar top against the paper - as it is better for a larger sanding stroke and avoids unwanted rounding near...

Note: to make sure the screws pass down through the neon tube holes and when nipping up aligning the neon to look right = sticking out a little as you have minor adjustment ability.! manual rev-4 (24-6-19...
- Page 9 Step 7 - Fitting the Ice Blue LED strip inside the the Snackbar top! I remove the backing and carefully slide the strip into the front (pointy end) and line up the strip with the end of the slotted hole and central against the surface and carefully apply. ! The wire end of the strip should just past the cable tie anchor holes - push down if happy with the placement.! Then place a cable tie to keep the wire end down as this is needed in case it is tugged on slightly...

- Page 11 Step 8 - Understanding the lighting parts from Comet Pinball! Lighting is supplied by Comet Pinball based USA using cool products from their Matrix range. See the arrows with red dots referencing the components you will be using in the build.! Above is the lighting setup for the Snackbar and Sign, but with one LED strip already trimmed.! manual rev-4 (24-6-19...
- Page 12 Step 9 - Preparing the LED strip for the Sign! The led strip for the sign will only need approx 6-7 leds to fit within the sign recess. Trim as per the picture below. The reason for the variation of 6-7 leds depends on the strip as the strips vary from the wire end - try 7 first.
- Page 13 Step 10 - Fitting the Snackbar Sign up with the insert and lighting! The insert is a snug fit so carefully push into the slot and then use a thin steel ruler or similar the push the insert from the back so the lettering of the sign insert pops into the lettering holes of the sign housing.! Then with your trimmed LED strip insert into remaining gap behind the insert - remembering not to remove the backing of the adhesive strip as you want to be able to remove in the future.
- Page 14 Step 11 - Assembling the sign to the snack bar top! Now insert the signage wiring lead with the 3” extension in through the hole in the top and feed through the mod.! Lower the sign’s 2 x locator pins into the holes in the top and then lock down the sign with 1 x M4x10 Black Button Screws and nip up.! Then connect the signage lead to the other spare end of the 2 to 1 splitter shown in the last photo of Step 7.!
- Page 15 Step 12 - Assembling the top lighting feature! These are the parts needed for the top lighting kit.! Unlike the mods sold you need to do 2 minor solder joints from the wires to the #555 bulb socket.! First start with the socket and bend the little legs to one side as this keeps the wires clear once this feature is installed.! manual rev-4 (24-6-19...
- Page 16 Then take one of the 3” extension leads and the male plug off one end and trim the black end about 10mm shorter than the red, bare back, slide on some heat shrink and solder the wires to the socket. Once soldered shrink the heat shrink over these soldered ends and then connect the free matrix socket with lead to the lead you just made as per below.
