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 !






And Matty nailed it just before this post of mine !

Great choice of game Wotto - my current favorite!

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

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.



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.....



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


Worn Image on plastic - easily fixable too.


Broken sling plastic - pretty common


Mylar on clock



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.

Looks good mate !

Glad you like it. I will be keeping my eye out for a Funhouse to play - Believe it or not - I have not had much of a chance to play the game.

Funhouse is a great game. Are they new cab decals? The reds don't look too faded.

Looks like it, doesn't it - you'd be very surprised to find such rich colouring in the wild.

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. #*#
