Any battery damage to the boards? I may be looking at buying one in a bit worse shape than you. Still haven't seen the machine yet, but I know the slings don't work at a minimum. I am unsure what a dirty partially working FH would fetch in this market...

i would say around low 2000 maybe even less. if the pf is bad you can replace it. look at the ramps they crack all the time. but it sounds like you would be better off replacing the pf.

My experience has been that no one will take less than 2k on FH, regardless of condition. In the Midwest at least - they seem to be more rare around here. CA might be different, but I would think more expensive.

$2600-$3000 for a router, $3200-$3500 for a player, $3800-4200 for redone condition.

Overpriced, in my opinion . I would go$2250 for routed one.

I think the mylar and inserts lifting is a big deal and you should negotiate the price accordingly. It's horrible to play when it's like this. Some people have removed the mylar easily and others have totally stuffed their playfield. I sold my Funhouse because of this exact problem. Rudy's eyes can be problematic also...best rip his face off and check what's causing the problem.

I bought a cyclone thinking I was just gonna remove the mylar to expose a pristine playfield and did just that till I started trying to remove that sticky left over residue aaaaaaa NEVER AGAIN!!!!!

This makes me sad. Of all of the "A" list games that I will never own due to price, this one is moving into the range to where I will never own one, and it hurts the most.

Sold mine several years back for 1100.50 It was in nice shape but I wanted a nicer one. Never found one! Still kicking myself for that stupid decision.

The same day I sold my Funhouse I sold my Elvira and the party monsters I sold them to a friend and he does not want to part with them. Some day he will part with them and perhaps I will be there to retrieve them back. But I hope he does not want to get rich off of them.

I paid $2900 a couple months ago for one that was in great shape. It hadn't been cleaned in 18 yrs, but it had been in a home environment and sat mostly untouched for the past 12 or so years. Cab was faded but the pf cleaned up nicely. I don't miss that $2900, I can tell you that. This was a game that haunted me as a kid and I'm happy to have found one in such shape.

Had bought a FH last year in low 2ks. At the end had to replace all plastics, playfield, decals and ramps. Looks and plays great now. But u will end up spending more on restore than the pin.

Also put powder coated blue legs they look really nice.

Do you have any pics of the legs.Sounds like a great idea.

Ditto bladerunner. Would love to see pics of this resto.

I've seen them. The legs look AWESOME.

Sorry too lazy to take glass off.

Mylar is most likely raised over the clock from all the heat those bulbs create all so close together down there. Same reason those inserts pop up. I levelled my inserts and replaced bulbs with leds and all is good

not bad compared to how it was when I got it...ball used to change course bouncing over the clock inserts!

Make sure to keep us updated when you later look at it.

Can't go wrong at that price! Great pickup, you can't hesitate with a Funhouse as they don't come up for sale very often anymore. I'm sure, if you take it really slow, you'll have success getting the mylar off the playfield.

When my mylar and inserts lifted around the clockface, I just gently tapped them back down without touching the mylar and they all went back into place. It played heaps better after that. You could always give that a go and leave the mylar where it is for a while.

Raised inserts are not that big of a deal as noted. I use a little glue underneath when down, and leave something heavy on the PF while this dries.

Funhouse is a god of a machine. Not super deep, but doesn't have to be, as the play is outstanding.

I hated the look of the head before playing, as many do, and when offered one, turned it down several times over about a 5 month period until the deal was too good. Man on man did the first 10 min on this machine open my eyes...

I also have a RS as well, and I'm proud to say I have overcome my fear of creepy pinball heads altogether.

Funny thing is, if your playfield is in fairly good condition and would make a good donor for a restoration, you could probably sell it here for a few hundred and use that money to offset buying a new playfield!

Congrats on the deal, too!

Thought my old playfield was ok first, but when it came off, it was lipstick off a swine. If u gonna keep it go for a new one.

Good to hear. Parts for Rudy are hard to get, and the ones you will bet are not of very high quality.

FH is hard to keep up and running, but a lot of fun.

I would only swap out the pf if you are really dead set on it. FH is a $%^& to do a PF swap on. My project took a full year.
