Game has been sold and payment is pending.
*******************************
Offering my HUO Funhouse with 150 plays for $7,500 (previously listed at $8.5k).
History - Grover Gibson (known by many on Boston Pinball Association, RGP and Pinside) bought this FH NIB. Original paperwork has since been lost, but he may have purchased it from the recluse living in CT, who has 100 B/W games from the 90’s - all NIB, and who surfaces every few years, only to sell off three or four games before retreating back into the shadows. Grover opened “my precious” this NIB pin (I love reading that phrase) and put 50 virgin games on it over the course of a year and a half (when you have something rare you don’t play it every day, duh).
He sold it to a friend who kept it a year and reported putting no more than 25 games on it (I am rounding this estimate upwards to 50). This guy had other games at home to play too, so don’t cry for him. Grover bought FH back, added hole protectors and put another 25 games on it over six months before selling it to me two years ago. So technically I am the fourth owner and the game came to me with 125 plays. Its condition was originally described as pulling the game new out of the box, and I wasn’t disappointed.
I added a few mods before even playing my first game - list to follow. Purest may cringe at the mention of making any changes, but hey! you can always “restore it to original-like”. A few of them might even like what they see, so give it a look, After making these changes, I put five good games on her, repackaged and moved it into climate controlled storage. I recently moved it home and unboxed it and it was like opening a nice present. There was a pallet and straps and blankets and cardboard protection and shrink wrap everywhere. The sensation though was something more unique. Like opening a CH restored game…you know you are in the presence of something special. I have added twenty games since, and this gets to a total 150 plays.
Changes made to game, and which you are free to reverse - 9.05H ROM and mirror-polished chrome hardware - rails, hinges, bolts, lockdown, coin door and bolts, legs and bolts. Game has a new sheet of PDI glass, mirror blades, mind orbit color changing shooter rods, Pinball Pro subwoofer and external battery holder.
Of course the proof is in the pictures and link to pics to be provided tomorrow. Hate to be a tease but …. it is pretty mind blowing! and it took forever to type this description. LOL.
