Thinking of trading my nice player's FH for a nice congo. Thoughts?

Club members: I posted above but no responses yet.

I'm tentatively trading my nice player's quality FH for a really nice Congo. Owner of the congo has sent a few pics and it's very nice from what I can tell and he's told me.

I've gotten very little congo play, but am looking for a nice DMD to trade FH for. I place my funhouse's value at around $3000 or so. I know i'm taking a bit of a monetary loss (maybe) on this trade.

Thoughts? Will I regret the trade? I like FH, but am ready to move on. Both pins work 100%

Thanks guys. I read your PM Collin. Thanks.

Just nervous trading away a nice classic like FH. It's such a fun game and mine is definitely on the nicer side compared to most FH I've seen.

It's just pinball, right?

Hopefully I'll be chiming in in a few days, joining the club.

Well I'm doing it. Trading my loved FH for a nice Congo. The trip is saturday. I'll post pics when she's home!

There she goes. Hopefully I'm making the right move...

Picking up Congo in the morning.

So I'm wondering how you guys shop up the lower pf window. Mine is pretty clear and i'm happy with it. Should I use some novus on it, or just leave it alone?

What's the best way to clean it IF it already is pretty clear?

Just pimped with coin taker LEDs. The kit had some errors with it but not so much that I need to bug them about it.
Pics don't do it justice. Came out gorgeous. image-327.jpgimage-31.jpg

Grats Kev!

Congrats on the pickup Scott.

Here is a link that provides your info. Manuals, rulesheets, etc.

Good luck!

KEV: excuse my computer printing skills, but are these printed on a standard home printer? How do you get those nice laminated ones

Dude I own both. Keep both.

Go bills.

Nice write up. Truly an amazing game. Love mine.

Grats Monsterbash. Awesome game!! Pop some LEDs in here.

Are you guys talking about the diverter that activates after MAP is spelled?

Thanks for the heads up Chet.

Ask for a refund.

Bad businessman IMO.

Should issue you a refund as the part he's selling doesn't do what it's supposed to.

Unscrupulous if you ask me.

I've never seen any. They do tend to carry some items that are hard to locate elsewhere..

I saw you got a ts. Cool pin. I have both ts and Congo in the line up. Two pins bolted to the floor.

Congrats!

Welcome!

I have both TS and Congo. Congo, to me, is the better package. Both amazing pins, but something about congo is just more fun. It's not so serious. And I'm sick of modes

Major props to Mantis Amusements for that grey gorilla part. Awesome work.

I'd love to be able to look at the directions prior to purchasing just to see how much work I have to do to install. Lazy..

I'd say one of the best clubs to be part of. Congo is amazing.

Love the pin.

Have you tried testing it in switch test mode?

The switch in my MAP was touchy... meaning the activator arm needed to be adjusted UP so that the ball activated it.

Does the coil fire in test mode? Go into solenoid test and see if it'll fire there.

Do any other coils not fire? Could this be a fuse?

Double check the wiring to that coil and upstream of it. Also see if that coil plunger moves freely by hand.

I've never done this, but with the leveling concerns of this, and other pins like black rose, I thought of a possible good way to level:

Lay a flat object that is just larger than the window over the window when leveling. Screw the window in while the window is resting up against the book.

It would be a two person job. One to hold book and apply pressure, the other to tighten screws.

Can someone tell me appx how many of gi LEDs to order? I want to just do the gi on the pf.

Thinking warm white or cool white?

Thoughts? Number?

Sorry, Just seeing this now.

I am still trying to figure out if I want cool or warm. I'll let you know.

Without looking, I am thinking most gi can be done from unscrewing the socket from underneath as opposed to shopping the whole thing, correct??

Thanks.

I'd think it's more a pain to have to remove ramps, plastic, etc. !!

Thanks! Are the gi all 47s?

I'm at work and haven't looked under the pf in awhile.
