I've got a pretty decent Funhouse. But let's get this straight... it's
not a collectors piece. There's nothing so wrong with it that it
couldn't be, but right now, it is what it is.
Issues: The game works great. To the best of my knowledge, the only
switches that don't work are the two optos (steps ramp and Rudy hit)
Playfield has a few small areas of wear (subway kickout and steps ramp
drop) Rudy is nearly complete. I'm missing one part and have lots of
extra parts, but currently, he is gutted out and only his jaw is
assembled right now. Steps ramp could stand to be replaced but is
playable. Lamp shade assy is missing. Cabinet is faded (surprise!)
Playfield has been mylared and mylar is in pretty good shape. Color is
good under the mylar also. Lower flippers have been rebuilt. Game is
not shopped and I can take plenty of good pictures if someone wants
them.
I'm ready to start buying parts for the machine, but before I do,
thought I'd see if anyone else would rather tackle this project.
Shouldn't take much work to make this a pretty nice machine. But I've
got plenty of other projects and I was hoping FH would grow on me more
than it did. Wife said she'd like to have it (and that's a free pass
into my collection) but in 9 months, she's played it only once.
I'm not necessarily looking to sell outright unless the money is right,
I'm more interested in trades right now for newer machines. Newer
projects are ok, but I'm not looking for any basketcases! unless it's
a basket case MM!
I'm not putting a value on it right now. (I said I was fishing didn't
I?) Just trying to decide if I want to go ahead and buy the parts to
shop it out.
I'm in Kansas City and willing to drive a couple hours in any direction
to meet you if you're too far away.
