Kind of a noob here. I've been on the prowl for a Funhouse. I have an opportunity to buy one, working condition unknown at this time but theres something strange going on with this one. It has a 4th flipper installed that appears to be blocking the mirror hole. I've never seen that on any other Funhouse so I'm guessing it was modded.... but why the heck would you do that and what purpose would it serve?

I don't have access to the machine so I can't investigate myself. These are the only photos I have:

I have $$ set aside for the right Funhouse. Hook me up!

Well, I ended up buying it! I was told that the flipper was just laying in the out hole because the old owner was planning on replacing the left main flipper which has a crack.

Was told it works perfectly. Fingers crossed!

$2700. Picking it up tomorrow and will test it out. Was told it works "Perfectly" including Rudy
s mouth and eyes. It will go straight to billsfan for a shop job!

Well, I didn't get a chance to play her on pickup... but I'm optimistic. A bit of a gamble, yes. I took it directly over to my friends house for shopping so it will probably be another few weeks before I get to play it. If there are issues I'm sure I'll hear about it soon.

Who needs I Kiss Pin. I have Rudy!

All good. I appreciate the input. I'm new to pins but I've bought several vids from Coinop. He said it works and I believe him. Just got an update from my friend who is shopping it:

"Just turned on. Balls were inside cab. But it looks like it will play fine

It's filthy so it needs lots of tlc but should look great. Small wear spot wear Ball kicks out Normal issue"

Will post photos when I get them.

Ha, hah, I was just sitting back and enjoying the comments! ... but since you asked.

In my defense, I didn't exactly, blindly throw down my $$ and "roll the dice". I'm new to pins but have over 40 vids and trade back and forth all the time. It's not my first rodeo as they say.

The person I bought from was not a total stranger. I've bought several games from him before, looked him in the eye, and shook hands on some good deals. He's even been to my house picking up and dropping off games. He told me it worked and I believed him. Did I have a 100% moneyback guarantee? No, but if things were horribly wrong I'm confident he would stand by it.

If there are things that needs attention I'm very lucky that I have local, passionate, hobbiests to help me out. I'd helped out a friend with some of his vids and he's tweaking, shopping my Funhouse for the cost of materials (and maybe some pizza and beer.

He's a busy man so it may take a few weeks to get my machine back but when I do I'll post picts for you to see, (and pick apart, KIDDING!... kinda . He hasn't sent me any "Uh oh" emails so I'm optimistic.

Yes, I took a risk, a calculated risk. Funhouse is the pin I loved as a teenager and the one I've wanted for some time. Yes, I've seen some available cheaper but they were usually far away or I didn't have the $$. I saw this one, had the $$, and went for it. Its too early to call but I doubt I would lose any $$ if I decided to sell this machine (Doubtful) in a few years.

To be continued.

Shopping has begun! He says it plays fine. Has one play light stuck one. Also says it filthy and will need a ton of cleaning. Original playfield is "Better than most"

Shopping continues! The molex for the GI lights was toasty so he's replacing that for me.
