Big thanks MarkC and Childs

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...

 :) :) :) :) :)

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?

[Strangeways]

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.
