Most pinheads know I chase some machines that are hard to get, or have a long waiting list. Two years ago, I gave Mark a list of five games I REALLY wanted to complete my collection;
Fathom
Medusa
Haunted House
Spirit
Black Knight
Not your "everyday" pinball ;)
Within 6 months, he found me a Medusa - a 9/10 Medusa that he had shipped from Europe.. I STILL can't believe it is in my gamesroom !
Another Month later, he assisted with a Fathom from Germany - My first import
A month ago, a container arrived with a Haunted House and a Spirit. Today, I brought home the Haunted House. spirit will be next week... But here are some pictures of the Haunted House;

It is complete other than a Diver board, CPU board and the backglass..
I plan on installing a Pascal system 80 "all in one" board, and I have a repro backglass organised.
This will be a really involved restoration that I plan on undertaking after a year or two. No rush !
Thanks to Mark and Geoff for holding this pin for me and for the great price ! Moral of the story (every pin has a story)... Just ASK for a desired pin - you never know .......... ;)
BTW - I lost interest in the Black Knight... :D
:) :) :) :) :)

Happy for you Nino! Love my Black Hole, and would like to add one of these alongside it one of these days. Looking forward to the reto thread!
-
Congrats Nino. All good things come to those who wait. I'm sure she's going to look smick once you're done with it. You're building up an exceptional line-up of machines.
Why no love for Black Knight?
-
Black Knight is not really in the same league. I played Marco's BK and for some reason, I have lost interest in it. Same with Black Hole. I really wanted a Black Hole. I have an interest in Devil's Dare now..Three system 80s is as far as I will go, but something has to be moved on from my collection as I have well and truly run out of space.
