what pinball to buy next

How much would you pay for a non working but complete Haunted house?

If you are in Brisbane, my advice is not to touch it - absolute lemon, but pass on the details to me.

But how much would i pay??? Depends on the situation. If from a dealer then it wont be such a bargain, but if its a private sale from a non pinhead, then id be aiming to get it for $500 or so - id go to $800 on the outside.

Its always best ive found to get an idea of price from the seller - theyll give you what theyd love to squeeze out of you. Normally, you can half this price straight away.

Good luck - hope your bartering skills are well tuned.

Bottom line is... how much is it worth to you??

HH great game, hard to find and the dealers normally want top dollar.  I managed to pickup a non working Aust delivery for a good price after about 2 years of solid looking.  They are out there.

[Strangeways]

Yes - they are out there, but as mentioned - they command top $$$. I purposely looked for a project machine that will be restored from the ground up.. (Thanks MarkC!) 

[SILVABALL]

I would love to own a Haunted House,but after restoring and pretty much repairing all of the electronics etc
It's put me off owning a Sys 80,Its funny though i do miss the Black Hole

Ok i scored a HH today, it lights up and makes a noise.

Back glass is 8.5/10
Playfield is 7/10
Cabinet art 8/10

I havnt had a chance to inspect it properly yet.

Well done Ian - Is it local ?

[Creech]

Nice, very nice. Good score. 

[63wizz]

Well done Ian - Is it local ?

Yes it was in a local arcade about an hour drive from where i live, the guy i bought it off, bought it off him about 15 years ago.

the arcade owner had trouble with the lower playfield not kicking the ball up to the main playfield, so he removed it (PF) from the machine.

the lower PF come with the machine so i will need to install it, in time.

there will be a lot to do but will be worth it

cheers Ian
