Swinks Tail Light Mod Bedienungsanleitung

Bally - 1992

Creature From The Black Lagoon (CFTBL)

Creature “Tail Light Mod”

The Creature “Tail Light Mod” is a mod that is 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

classic car rear tail light while still functional - synced with 2 playﬁeld features - “Parking Ok” & “Move Your

Car”. This mod is also a relative simple one to install (no soldering if buying the full kit or parts kit), looks cool

and suits the era.

Proudly Designed by

This mod originally came out around 2016 but was expensive due to the bumper being 3D printed

metal - in Silver (beautiful but expensive). The design has recently been tweaked a little to allow a

now full plastic bumper to be used without any distortion. Swinks Pinball is only making 5 kits

available for purchase (not feasible to make these constantly as a bit of work in painting), but with

the help of this manual you can also do a kit build yourself or pick up a kit if they are still available.

Required Parts

You will need the following parts:

1. Shapeways

https://www.shapeways.com/marketplace?q=swinkstail&sort=newest

1 x Bumper

3. Electronic Store

1 x Red 5mm led - (1.7v)

1 x White 5mm led - (3.2v)

1 x 220R resistor (used with the Red LED)

1 x 150R resistor (used with the White LED)

180mm of heat tubing - 2.5 mm Black (cut 4 x 25mm, 2 x 40mm)

180mm of heat tubing - 5 mm Black (cut 1 x 180mm)

60mm of heat tubing - 5m Red (cut 2 x 30mm)

4. Hardware

1 x 4mm x 12mm long Stainless Steel button head socket head screw

1 x 2.5mm metric allen key.

1 x 4 x 0.7mm tap

Note: An alternative for the Hardware is use what you have available to suit the hole which is

3.5mm in diameter which needs to be threaded.

Note 1: Our apologies for some of the different photos showing

the stages of installation. I no longer have the game and there the

photos are a mix of older and newer stages of progress.

Note 2: Personally we love this mod as it syncs with 2 features on

the playﬁeld which for us these inserts are hard to see as they are

blocked visually by the curly ramp.

Note 3: If you purchased a painted and pre-assembled kit you can

skip straight to page 12 but the pages in between are a good

reference if ever you need to perform some maintenance / repairs.

Step 1 - Prepping Your Shapeways Parts

•The Body Panel could do with a clear coat to shine it up but is not required - as the one in the

photo on the front page is a raw printed part as is the standard ﬁnish for this part from

Shapeways. Though it could get marked by dirty ﬁngers - take care.

•Note: Light will glow through light colour body panels.

•The Lens does not require any work so it is ready for parts to be ﬁtted.

•The Bumper will need the rear hole tapped to either 4mm or to a similar sized imperial thread

though you may need the hole prepped for the correct size.

•Then to achieve a semi chrome to high chrome ﬁnish to the bumper you need to paint the part

with a jet black and then again with a chrome paint preferable in the same brand.

Step 2 - Making the Lighting / Wiring Harness

•Fit the 36” wires to the twist socket wires.

•Cut the plug off the non used side of the 36” wire.

•Cut 2 pieces of 5mm red heat shrink about 30mm long and feed a piece to each end of one

cable only and shrink to the cable about 130mm from each end (twist matrix plug end) and about

50mm on the LED end. This will be the Red LED cable.

•Cut 1 piece of black 5mm heat shrink 200mm and feed over both cables now as later on you will

not be able to do this.

•Cut 2 piece of 40mm long 2.5mm black heat shrink to cover the resistor once installed.

•Cut 4 pieces of 25mm long 2.5mm black heat shrink to cover the wires joined to the LED.

•Strip each wire back approximately 6mm / 1/4” and tin with solder to both wires at the ends of

the 2 cables ready to install the LED’s.

manual V-05 (5-10-22)

•Take 2 pieces of heat shrink and install over the wires before soldering the LED to the cable.

•Start ﬁrst by installing the red LED since the red heat shrink has been applied to the cables, take

note of the longer LED hard wire as this is the + / Positive side in which the red wire needs to be

soldered to this LED leg. Trim this leg down to about 12mm.

manual V-05 (5-10-22)

•Then trim the - / negative side leg of the LED down to 12mm long and then solder the black wire

to the - / negative led of the led. Then heat up the heat shrink roughly 4mm before the back of

the LED body for both wires.

•Now it is time to solder the 220R Resistor to the red lead new the Matrix Twist Socket. Split the

red / black lead roughly 100mm so you can install a resistor to the Red Wire. Cut approximately

a 20mm section out of the Red wire and install the longer piece of heat shrink (40mm) before

soldering the resistor in line.

manual V-05 (5-10-22)

•Now heat the heat shrink so the resistor and wire is protected and nothing can earth out / short

the wire.

•Repeat the process for the other 2 core wire, white LED and 150R Resistor.

•Now install the Red LED into the top slot of the tail light lens and the white LED into the bottom

cone shaped section. The 3mm exposed LED leads slide into the groves of the resin part and

then carefully rotate 90 degrees to lock the led into the lens. Do this for both LED’s.
