Quoted from BoP:Just picked up a very nice Funhouse. Great game, thoroughly enjoying having it home.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
That’s a damn neat Funhouse! Great find, not many clean ones in Oz. FH was my first pin and first resto, it’ll never leave, gameplay never gets old, either do the laughs.

Has anyone installed some Pinball Pro speakers? I’m having some issues with sound quality. Namely a muffled mid range. Asked the question a day or so back.

Quoted from Durzel:+1
FH makes use of GI dimming as its main event. Plenty of pins can get away with no LED dimming, but FH suffers from not having it.
I'd also like to know if the speaker upgrade was worth it. I put a Flipper Fidelity system in my TAF and quite honestly it doesn't sound amazing, although the extra bass is nice.
I put up a recent thread regarding "upgrading" my Funhouse speakers which might be worth a read.

Quoted from Randyg:I just acquired a funhouse last weekend. Needs a lot of love!! It has some issues, at turn on it “bongs” 6 times, then when you press the start button it bongs another 5.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Congrats on the pick up. Should clean up pretty well, playfield looks in reasonable shape. Can’t help with the “bongs” sorry.

I'm hoping someone can help or point me to a link as I'm sure this has been discussed before.
I restored my Funhouse a few years ago with an early Mirco repro and have an that I've never been able to resolve. Both ball shooters more times than not will shank when attempting to shoot the ball. I believe the issue lies with slightly misaligned playfield holes for the ball guides/ramps etc in the ball shooting zone. I've adjusted the ball shooter with no perceivable improvement.
Have others has these issues and resolved them?
Thanks.

Quoted from arcadenerd925:I put a mirco in when I did my restore. The PF length was correct on mine, I did have some issues with some of the holes being a little off but nothing major.
However, you guys bringing up plunging up to the steps ramps was not working well reminded me that I was having the same issue.
On my PF, it looks like the holes for the lane guide we're a little off, making it a bit narrow on the other side. So I could see the ball was often bashing in to the guide. I tried adjusting the plunger left and right a smidge and it helped a little, but it would still brick 50% of the time.
I decided to pull the lane guide and file it down a bit. Here is the before and after.
It is working perfect now, super stoked. Not saying this would fix anyone else' issue, but it worked for me.[quoted image]
That's a really neat fix, and to be honest exactly what I wanted to see. Re drilling holes only millimetres away is fraught with danger. I think I'll follow suit and whip out the file. Thanks for sharing Nerd

Has anyone put Pinstadiums on their Funhouse? I’m about to pull a set off my AFM (which I’m selling) and thinking of popping on my Funhouse. I tried adding some extra spotlights on the slings and it looks terrible.
If you have, what did you plug the UV flasher into? Thought the Rudy hit would make sense.
Quoted from Mtg381:Yes, it's a nice improvement(as long as you're not anti-PinStadium). I connected the UV the white flasher in front of Rudy. If you go into the flasher test, it's listed as Dummy Flasher.
Awesome! Thank you. I think Pinstadiums are great, as ping as it’s used to compliment, not to completely flood the playfield. Would love to see a pic or vid or yours if you have one handy.
Quoted from CLEllison:I'm not one to implement more light than stock per say. Any additional flash is distracting to me (but to each their own)
I've built 4 sets now. They work in series with the GI. It just feels like it was a stock item and meant to be there instead of an annoying add-on. No disrespect meant. I absolutely love them on my TAF and LOTR. My Funhouse still doesn't have them as with everything LED the playfield feels light enough.

Totally agree, I use it purely to boost the shadows and make the lighting in general more even. I attached the UV to the white flasher in the shooter lane, but am finding it too annoying so I’ll attached it to Rudy hits which was my original thought.
Update... added the UV flasher to the white flasher in front of Rudy, it’s perfect!! Integrates really well and doesn’t overwhelm with constant and distracting flashes.
Still playing with colours and saturation but getting closer.

I make my own Pinstadiums as well, but do have 2 “proper” sets. The UV flasher is awesome on my JP and even more so on AFM with the Alien Ship hit!!
