After looking for 4 years (& missing a couple good deals), I bit the bullet a picked up a FH a couple nights ago. Couldn't help myself: I've already started ripping it apart for a full restore!

I just pulled apart and cleaned the parts of the mystery mirror, so this is on my mind -- What LEDs are you guys using in the mirror?! And did you go color-match LEDs or keep the rubber covers? (Or both)

Quoted from arcadenerd925:have a line on a IPB repro PF for Funhouse. I am told it is from the second run (drilled and dimpled). How would something like this line up with a Mirco quality wise?
I was very impressed with the quality on my FH Mirco. I had someone perfect the clearcoat, and he also did some minor insert work. But honestly it would've looked and played great either way. Clearcoat on mine was very good. Nice and flat. It was more about having the ultimate game for me.

Looks like you are in luck!
No those are Roadshow eyes. Rudy eyes are dark blue. No such luck!

Funhouse fans - looking ideas on how to improve the action out of the scoop on my restored Funhouse if it's possible. I'm having a hard time getting a clean bounce pass as (I think) PL intended. Recently played one on location that behaved the same way. It will bounce from the right flipper to the left, but it's not possible to cradle as the ball doesn't make it quite far enough. Here are the things I can think of and suggestions would be appreciated:
* Cliffy installed could be slowing ejection down or changing the angle slightly?
* The plunger from the coil is original and could be slightly worn and affecting the speed/velocity?
* Flipper angle a touch too high?
* Rubber used? (standard rubber set, anything with better bounce action?)
Quoted from arcadenerd925:tough one. Mine works as you noted (coming out of the scoop it will dead bounce off the right over to the left and I can cradle it). However, a friend also has one (with the same Mirco repro PF) and I cannot do the same dead-bounce-right-to-left-cradle. It's gonna either be one of two things: 1. velocity, 2. angle. You'd have to really look at the other one to see how yours is different.
If you think its velocity, when you did the restore, did you change that coils sleeve? clean it? new spring?
if you think its angle, i assume just loosening the scoop and giving it a slight tweak might do the trick (even the smallest twist could make a diff)
Thank you very much for the response. The restore was complete including new sleeves, but I don’t believe this coil has a new spring. I will check that. My initial feeling is angle, but I’ll investigate and report back.
