Id bet money It was sold shortly after posting here. Not to me (unfortunately). Would loved to see better pics of it to see how it fared through the years.

Quoted from Bellystyle:just got back from Boise ID and grabbed Steve Charland's (Blown Fuse) Goin' Nuts from his daughter and wife. So the one on the owners map in the Bay area is now here in Reno. So we still only know where 5 of them are, even though it shows 6. I will probably have it a the GSPF next month. Here's the text from my FB and Instagram post I just put up:
To my non pinhead friends, this is the definition of a pinball unicorn. 10 made in 1983, right before Gottlieb was sold to Mylstar. It never went into production. This is one of 5 known to still exist, it's highly coveted and there are hardcore pinheads who have never even see one of these in person. There are now 2 in Nevada, 1 in Illinois, 1 in Spain and 1 in France. That's it. The gentleman that last owned it was a near and dear friend of mine and a legend in the pinball community. His name was Steve Charland, R.I.P., and he was known as Mr. System 80 (which this is one of them). It was the gem of his collection, and it's now the gem of my collection. If I wasn't known as Rare Mike before, I certainly am now. That's funny because I'm a well done guy..... Thanks for reading, and happy zombie Jesus day!
Thank you Amber and Cathy! <3

Congratulations, glad it's going to a fellow pinhead. Never seen one of those jn person. I bought Steve's fully restored Rocky from Amber and it is super nice.
Quoted from Bellystyle:Next year, at the GSPF, we are all going to bring our Steve Charland games and get them in a row! I think we'll have at least 15. Can you bring yours?
I will certainly try that sounds awesome. Maybe his wife and daughter can attend that would be great
