Quoted from mjenison:Looking at your picture, it seems your post for the lamp shade might not be correct.
Thanks, I will look into it.

Yup, looks like someone put one in my game that is too tall. Here is a pic from hep thread...

Quoted from fossmin:Moves freely.
Ok. Next check to see what is happening when you push the flipper button. Keep the playfield up and the power off. Look down at the inside of the cabinet and confirm that when you push the flipper button, the plunger end pushes the dual leaf switch. The first pair of contacts is for the lower flipper and the second pair is for the upper flipper. Inspect those contacts closely. Are they clean? Free of oxidation? Making good contact when pushed together? Use a file and gently clean them off.

Actually, now I'm not so sure...I was looking through posts in this thread and it does seem like maybe yours is correct.
I don't think this part is in the manual or the parts list on ipdb.org though. Doesn't show on flyer.
This is a link to a Funhouse proto; seems the hex post is a little shorter than yours: http://www.hsapinball.com/HSA_PINBALL/Proto_Funhouse.html#8
Turns out my Funhouse has a black plastic spacer about one inch tall; probably installed to prevent shorting the lamp socket terminals.
Would be interested to know what people have.
Also confirm the wires on the ends of those flipper button leaf switches are still firmly connected. There is also a quick connect (usually) for the set of them. Confirm it is still clean and connected well. You can trace those wires right back to the boards in the back box and check they are ok. Check fuse F101 as well. It does both left flippers if I’m not mistaken so unlikely it is the issue but check it anyway.
Quoted from pinballinreno:If no one chimes in, Ill measure it when I get back to my shop tomorrow.
Thanks, I found them (see post above) but could use some help with the lampshade post size...

Its been almost a year since tear down.
Nice find!! And no shipping charges! lol

Mine is about 3/4” long I’d say. My lamp shade and parts were in a baggie when I got the game. And some were missing. I found the right socket and shrink wrapped the ends to prevent any short circuiting.
Interesting enough, when I was trying to figure out what goes there, I noticed on one of the virtual games on PlayStation that when it zooms around showing you the table, that post is a #8 white plastic spool. Never seen that on anyone else’s game except the virtual one. Yet that same #8 spool is used elsewhere like right below it on the ramp switch cover piece.

My game had a post sleeve there, but it was trimmed down on the shooter lane side. Is that the best solution or maybe some shrink tubing over it?
[quoted image]
The fix isn’t to change how that post is. The fix is to adjust the shooter rod bracket so that the rubber tip strikes the ball in the centre. When it’s off to one side or more up or down, it makes the ball careen off to the side and that’s where the interference and unsmooth shot up the steps comes from.

No post sleeve on proto or production games, but the consensus is to put whatever you prefer there.

Ok, maybe it is in the parts list. I think this is it:

Listed as part of the lower ramp assembly.

And the best feeling is, when you reorder the part... And 2 weeks later, you realise, you have 2 sets

Leave it bare or add shrink to it.
I have had it with a bumper sleeve and with shrink tube.
Gameplay-wise, I prefer the ball not to bounce out of the small gap as much.
With the bare metal, the ball makes it into the shooter lane more frequently.
Currently its bare.

My lampshade post was 3/4".
I recently changed it to a 1" to get better light coverage and stop it from interfering with the view.
I think, anything between 5/8 and 1" looks good.

I love my Modfather "Original" style paint job on Rudy's face.
The flesh tones make him look more real, Lol.
Condoms on the color matched 2SMD comet frosted bulbs adds a cool retro tempura painted carnival look to it on the billboard mirror and other naked bulbs.
Quoted from Zee:Maybe you don't want him more real.

Anything that freaks out Pinballgoddess more...
She keeps a towel over the game...
Quoted from zerbam:someone said the just put black shrink tube on theirs and it worked great...........maybe you could find colored shrink tube
I cut a 2-inch piece of a red drinking straw, which fit perfect on the post, and had no 'rubber' stick to it. Looked great, and didn't grab the ball. (It was a Jack in the Box straw)

Where did you find the "Rudy" topper dummy? Or is it a ventriloquist's dummy?

6D9D8B7E-9F59-4420-A4F7-559D37071605 (resized).jpegI picked up a Funhouse last week that had been sitting dormant for 5 years after the owner passed away. He had left the top of the playfield totally stripped, with all the parts in various boxes. I'm trying to revive the machine and the only piece that is neither in a box nor "purchasable" seems to be this metal piece at the end of the steps ramp. I know it's a longshot... but does anyone have a lead on one?

It may not be available for funouse.
But a very similar sized piece can probably be found from another game that could be used effectively.
With a little modification.

Or make one/have it made.
Quoted from Zee:Or make one/have it made.
Yep, lots of fabricators available.
I just got a quote from a huge fabricator for a few parts.
Its very reasonable.
And, from sample to proto in one day.

Cliffy might have it, or might be willing to make one for you. He has a FH in his shop, so he could dupe the part, just not sure he has the time. Drop him a note...
Quoted from cosmokramer:Need some help with these last few plastics from a new set. None of these were on my game when I tore it down, and I cant find any of them in other resto threads.
Where do these go?
[quoted image]
Definitely not on my game either. I originally thought with the small ones anyway that they were pieces cutout from within larger pieces that were to be removed. But its too coincidental that these exact plastics are in my set too, and there are no larger plastics that have those colors/holes with those shapes. You would think they go on top of something to prevent a ball getting trapped like some of the other ones that are stock.
As for the large yellow one, I couldn’t find anywhere that the hole patterns could line up to, or what benefit it would have. Shooter lane cover - but how to secure it, and why?

The big plastic does not go on the game at all.

The part number is definitely FH, but it is not on my game. Many times they have plastics in these sets that didn't ultimately make it on the game. It must be one of those.
Thanks guys
I didn't think the large rectangular plastic was used, but was not sure about those little guys.
I guess they are just "extras"...

Popcorn plastic looks like this one just below upper flipper.
Btw - anyone have a spare plastic that goes below that popcorn plastic? Looks like mine lost a screw and then broke at the corner. I don't see anywhere to buy one without buying whole set.

Which corner of that one do you feel is broken? It looks complete to me (bottom right of pic of plastic pieces on my table is that one you're talking about, right?)

There is another one in the set that goes there, similar but diff shape.

It broke on the corner close to the "S" target. I was playing when the broken plastic piece came flying down the pf. Took me a while to figure out where it went because the break looks natural.
How is the quality on the reproduction FH plastics? Last plastic set I bought was for FT and not too happy with colors and thin paint.
The Eyes have it! ... or we have the Eyes ... Various variations of Eyeballs finally we have put on the store and in stock now for Roadshow and Funhouse - these are original WMS tooling - and using the later (better) style which uses the brass grommets for longer life ...
We did:
- Original White
- Transluscent White
- Clear
With both Blue and Green Pupils ... if we get bored we may do some additional things (bloodshot, etc) ...

These are desperately needed!
Thanks for making these.
I reached out to PPS after the announcement of the eyeballs becoming available to have the trap door lift crank arm made. part #A-14160. PPS said about three months and they've been ordered....for those of you looking for this hard to find part....sweet...
