I think that you should start a kickerstarter to fund your costs for those "lost" nylon washers. with the number of people here, you should easily reach your goal of .82 in no more than 60 days! 
Quoted from Skypilot:Oh yeah, nobody tell my wife I was scrubbing the harness in the kitchen
Funny! The first thing I thought when I saw that pic was "my wife would kill me"
Your secret is safe with me.
Excellent restore, just gorgeous. I would suggest my Black Line version of the scoop protectors though on a new playfield. They hug the black keylines so appearance is a bit cleaner. I also just made replacements for the flipper ball guides A-14708 and A-14709 which are specific to Funhouse. You can see them on my new page here. http://www.passionforpinball.com/FlipFrames.htm
Fantastic job again Keith. I've been meaning to restore my own FH since 1998 and your pictorial is really motivating me to get on it 
As the previous owner of this game, I'm blown away by the work you did here. It's awesome to see Rudy get the treatment that I lack the skill and motivation to take on. Great job!
So I tore into the cabinet last night .I took additional photos of the back box then removed the clips and plate only to realize there was no memory card in the camera. 
I also realized i need to replace the bottom speaker. I really wanted to keep this machine close to the original but now I'm thinking of doing the armor in chrome.
Thoughts on chrome?
Any suggestions on speaker?
Quoted from nitrojcrawf:You could always powder coat.....
Funhouse Blue PowderCoat. Friend of mine has his done this way. Looks very cool. Not as cool as chrome would though.
Quoted from nitrojcrawf:You could always powder coat.....
I don't want to stray to far from original .dont get me wrong I don't dislike powder.
But my choices are stainless or chrome.
Quoted from dkpinball:It'll almost be a shame to play it.
Almost .....but not quite.
If you go back a few photos to "play field is complete" you can see the other balloon. There are two that look similar.
Hello all together!
First of all I have to say WOW! This is really a cool Funhouse!
Somebody emailed me the link to this thread and told me that the playfields are too long. I don't know how that happened but I will check that. I have to say sorry for the extra work of cutting the playfiled and I'm glad you managed that.
It would have been cool if you emailed me with this issue so that I can correct it for the future. Same with any other problems you find during the installation! I'm the last one who is not listeing to suggestions! But I can't check all communities everyday, so if anybody finds a issue on one of the playfield titles I made, please email me so that I can react.
Best Regards,
Mirco
Mirco,
Thanks for the compliment .
I am sorry, I guess I didn't think to contact you on this . I will definitely do so in the future if any thing ever comes up. Kudos on the beautiful work you do
Best Regards, Keith

Quoted from nitrojcrawf:Keith, How is your project going? Or our you to busy playing with your new purchases?
Cabinet sanded and primed and waiting the paint booth.
I did have to squeeze in shopping 2 FT in between.
1 week later
Still waitin to get the cabinet in the spray booth. Primed it at home, wife not to happy with the smell,me bad. Hopefully this week
What do you think is the best way to take decals off
Use a hair dryer and wallpaper scarper and take away the adhensive gunk
Or sanding the cabinet
They both took about the same time. The heat gun was less mess/dust. I would use the heat gun (ventilated area). If this method starts gouging the cabinet then I would switch to the belt sander.
