As you guys know real old EMs are my thing but I would like to get some DMD pins in the gamesroom. So over the next 6 months or so will be on the hunt for 5 or 6 new games from that era. This is one game that I would really like.
So the question is: are there many Funhouses kicking about and what sort of price is a good one going for these days?
Who would of thought #@#

Mate, who the F**K are you and what have you done with Tony? You cyber hackers are good, but if you new Tony, you would know he would never write crap like this.. *)*

Have been toying with the idea for a few months and thought having 6 of them would make the gamesroom a bit more 'fun' for people that enjoy playing pinball from the more modern era.
I also enjoy playing games from this era and the famous Rollerball meets have converted me to these types of games
Have owned around 15 games from the 1990s over the years and some of them just blew while others were really cool such as CFTBL
-
Yeah a cross section is good I agree.
My teenage kids and their freinds will only play the 90s pins I have, to them the others are just to old and slow with not enough going on.
So it is good to have a little from each era I rekon.
-
Great choice of game. I have a beautiful FH (which I was playing just before checking AP) and thinking about just how much fun that game is. Same sort of level of fun as CFTBL IMO, perhaps just a tad better game play wise in some ways, but the music/theme on CFTBL is slightly more appealing.

Tony w'atcha been smoking :D I am in a similar boat with all my games being early Solid State. Maybe one day I will get a DMD, but at the moment I enjoy playing other people's.
Funhouse is actually alphanumeric @.@ I have only seen one for sale in WA, but hear there are a few kicking around.
cheers

You shouldn't have too much trouble finding a FH - But the main issue will be its condition. As they were such an awesome pinball, operators used to leave them on location as they were good money makers. So in some cases, the playfields were very worn.
But good ones are out there !
-
So what prices do they go for in really good nick?
-
3k is the short answer. Could be found cheaper.
-
I totally love FH :) The one at the Expo auction went for $1,700+12% buyer's premium. Though I didn't get a play on it because it was out of order at the time :(

Hey Tony, ^&^ . To borrow one of your quotes to me " Your'e not crossing to the darkside, are you" :lol :lol
A bit of variety is good, especially for visitors/Kids etc.
EM's are great but at least one & I mean only one DMD is Okay. :lol
I played a LOTR again on the weekend, I'm not into the books & movies but that is a cool DMD !!
Steve.

I was offered a funhouse last week for 2k not sure on condition though.

Too cheap, Sir!!

Ahh good to see you venturing over to the dark side Tony. Bad thing is though more competition to find that elusive bargain machine - you are the Master of that.
Make sure you add Whitewater to your DMD wish list and another very underrated machine is Frankenstein, it is always popular with visitors as is Jurassic Park.
-
So if anybody has a Funhouse for sale or knows where one is please let me know

This popped up on Ebay, not sure if it helps *!@
How did you go with the other machine i passed you the details on?
It seems that most of the import machines coming in are coming from Germany at the moment with a huge pinball following.
It seems that there is a better opportunity to get a nasty old untouched project machine. But i don't think its viable shipping a single machine.
I've been offered a few as is machines locally but they aren't titles that i like. I've been offered a golden eye, demolition man, party zone and an independance day. Party Zones probably the best of that bunch.

if you dont find one drop me a line as i have another due in about 10 weeks
sold the one we had here for sale already
