Post by: Wotto on February 22, 2009, 08:49:03 PM
I am actually trying to work out if I can fit a 6th machine in that line up.
Will have to wait until number 5 ( title to remain secret - oooooooohh ) arrives this week ( errrr Mark  #@#  :lol )
Then measure up again.

Finger crossed.

My guess is ....

Righto righto - I have carried this on long enough.......

Home safely ( aint it strange when you drive a pin home how there is ALWAYS more traffic and more 'near misses' than normal  ^&( )

Currently in the garage - made the trip fine.
Thanks Mark and all your staff for doing this , I will get some better shots of it up another time.....but for now I have my 3rd naughty child in the house !

I was worrried as Duckman tried  to  pack it .... he normally trys and keeps the balls   ..... cant say why    but he seems to sit on them

glad I packed this one though    at least I know you got the right legs this time


Title: Re: New Machine in da House !!!
Post by: ajlaird on February 25, 2009, 09:58:16 PM
I think I was looking at a Funhouse picture to see if the playfield matched, but I must have got distracted, because I didn't pick it.

Anyway, congrats on the new pin, looks like a pretty good one and should fit in nicely with the rest of them.

Isnt it an addictive little bastard to play !!

Is it "collectors", "restorers" or "players" condition

Ok I am going to split straight down the middle and say 'players condition'

Heres some pics ....

The guys did an unbeleivable job on the cabinet- and Mark added a brand new PF glass and side rails as well.
I am guessing duckman had absolutely nothing to do with this machine  :lol %%$
The translite is also perfect.

(http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/49/leftw.jpg)

The only small ( and VERY easily fixable ) part of the cabinet that has an issue are the speaker grills 'W'....I can easily re-do them and I will.....

(http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/2162/speaker.jpg)

The playfield is in fairly good condition overall - I understand these machines are very hard to find with excellent playfields. This one has some bubbling mylar on the inserts ( but I beleieve most original FH playfields do ) and a few small areas that have worn images on plastics etc - its really easy to live with.....no big deal....

Heres some PF shots.

Overall Shot
(http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/3803/69565876.jpg)

Worn Image on plastic - easily fixable too.
(http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/3443/plastic.jpg)

Broken sling plastic - pretty common
(http://img156.imagack.us/img156/9391/sling.jpg)

Mylar on clock  
(http://img410.imageshack.us/img41/4387/clock.jpg)


I am very happy with it......I can sort the little things listed here above easily in time, and it plays well ( granted I have only played it for an hour or so , so far ) the ball seems to not want to go up the ramp sometimes, nearly like somethings blocking it - I will check that out ....other than that - real nice.

Hey Wotto, it's not a DMD. I thought you were going 100% DMD? In that case you can send it to me while you get another DMD to replace it. #*#

Post by: pinnies4me on February 26, 2009, 08:54:42 AM
I just realised I saw that game at Mark's the other day - and specifically commented on the playfield being nice for this game. They all bubble at the inserts, no real way to fix that (without removal and clearing!). Cab looked great too. Fantastic pick up. yes it's not a DMD but it's WPC nonetheless, and the alphanumeric use is excellent, lots of good info, makes you not notice it's not a DMD IMO.

The wear on the plastic above the kickout is normal as it rubs on the metal. If you aren't investing in a plastic protector set
http://www.rtbb.com.au/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=43_166&products_id=1302
at least make a polycarp piece to go between the steel and the plastic after you repair the artwork.

As for the ramp, the issue is discussed here-
http://aussiepinball.com/index.php?topic=103.0

Note Pinballace's generous offer of an alternative fix in that thread. I like my Funhouse Franger better though!

Let me know if you need any plastics - I have some spares and doubles of spares etc. Which sling plastic is broken?
