New Additions!! CROMPTONS Cave of Horrors!!

[athena]

Ok so I had a burning desire to find some horror themed shooters (admittedly I’ll buy horror allday long it’s my soft spot)

Really wanted a Chiller! But haven’t had any progress and than was offered chance to buy this very rare EM shooter / with digital scoring display so obviously made very late 70s.

Out of interest has anyone played it?
When it arrived it’s got a few little things to sort, the cave wasn’t very cave like as someone had fitted a normal tube which made it very bright, clearly was supposed to have a black light tube so did that and instantly improved it
Have also noticed one of the two relays isn’t working so need to get that replaced next but overall cosmetic condition is great!! So just need to tinker with it. Added couple pics to show the scenery set up.
Love taking these shooters apart to see how they did them.

Enjoy the pics!! (Took some before giving it a wipe so excuse the dirt haha)

Love these old EM games. And agree, taking them to bits and seeing how they work is awesome. Every time I come across one, I want to poke around in the back (ooer!!). Looks in really nice condition too. Great pick up!!

That's a great themed one

Used to enjoy playing them in late 70's, kinda wouldn't mind one too, was tempted when those Ninja ones used to pop up on ebay from time to time

Do you mean ninja guns by kasco? They are really cool. Quite rare though but I can’t think of other 70s ninja gun games (not that I’m an expert haha)

Ive posted on Instagram a video (very short 20 sec) of it in movement. If you want to look (paragon_pinball)

Yeah that's the ones

Mirrored type then, pretty cool. seen ones on ebay uk years ago, £150 area and was temped but its more classic video game space taken up, if space wasn't issue would of got one

I had a kasco bank robbers and that’s how I knew of Ninja Gun but never seen one for sale. They are Japanese which makes them quite scarce in Europe. Ninja Gun was similar to Bank Robberz because they used hologram targets. Also ninja gun quite a valuable machine now. But than everything is more now than it used to be I guess so it’s all relative haha.

That a cool Ninja cabinet too! Never heard/seen that one until now. Thanks for sharing @Bods

Don't know why but there is something appealing about Horror theme stuff to me

I used to have a plastic Glow in the dark Skull badge when I was a kid, was fascinated with Glow in dark things, loved putting on the torch so it would glow really bright

I'm exactly the same @Bods 👍
