Bally GILLIGAN’s ISLAND
Short-Run Reproduction Playfields from CPR

FIRST TIME AVAILABLE IN THE HOBBY ! Brand new release September 2023. We can now finally produce Gilligan’s Island playfields without compromise! These reproduction playfields have TRUE FLOURESCENT (“Hot Dayglo”) ORANGE using a new digital + silkscreen hybrid production method. The pictures don’t do them justice, as the camera cannot capture the hot dayglo orange tone. There is a small price increase, as the hybrid process involves several more steps to produce. Complete top-to-bottom master artwork redraw, from scratch. Depending on sales results, we’ll try to keep these in standard rotation from now on. 5-layer polyeurethane clearcoated. Complete gallery with close-ups for your consideration. As with all our small-batch runs, consider these “get them while they’re available!”

Greg Freres told us that Dan Langlois started this game project as another theme and Ward took it over and changed it to the Gilligan’s Island theme. Greg is credited on this game not for art but for more of a “theme support” credit, he said.

First pinball game with a Dot Matrix Display (DMD) released by Williams/Bally, although Williams’ 1991 ‘Terminator 2: Judgment Day’ was the first Williams/Bally standard pinball game *designed* with a DMD. That game took longer to complete the design and begin production and so was released later.

The promotional video released WMS/Bally also claims the coin door latch was redesigned to ensure the general illumination (GI) is not shorted out on the coin door. It also claims the ball poppers were redesigned to use a single piece mechanism connected by a screw rather than the prior two piece system connected by a pin that caused some mechanical problems.
