That is one move I will always remember. I got my HH back in the early to mid 90's. My wife wanted one as we used to play that when we were first going out back at the arcade at Salisbury Beach MA. That place has been closed for decades.

The machine was found in on the 2nd floor of an old farm house with a narrow 30 inch wide set of stairs with 2 landings. We had to break the machine down to smallest parts to move it. Glass, upper playfield, lower playfield, head, body, legs all made a separate trip down those stairs.

LOL yep when I built the garage I never wanted to hump stuff down flights of skinny turning stairs again.

If you have not seen it, the gents in France have put a Pinsound in a HH. Wayyy cool. It may be my first Pinsound purchase once they finalize that kit.

The game is listed at 298lbs on the flyer

FWIW, mine has always flopped down without a playfield to hold it upright.

Mine does not have LED displays, it does however have LED GI (including the down facing 13volt ones under the playfield window) and Playfield lamps.

I will film it and put it up on Youtube. You may be mildly pleased.

No spring, just a capacitor base clamp.

I found this.

It does not include music. It's just a couple of very robotic call outs. If you ever played a Black Hole, its the same card and same quality of sound.

The music that is in the YouTube vid is from a Pinsound board. The adapter to interface that into a HH is still under development. As the Pinsound board is pricey expect to pay more than a few hundred for the solution, and then you need to orchestrate/pirate/insert your own music as they do not ship with music (copyrights and all that legal crap).

Chi do some digging around, there are a few Youtube vids and Pinside threads over the years on how to rejuvenate old Gottlieb displays with a 9v battery. You may want to try that.

It is usually the display when 1 is good and others are dim. If all were dim then yeah, you may have low HV.

Another thing if you are going to keep this one for a long long time is that Pinscore or some other LED vendor (maybe XPIN?) make a really nice LED alternative in green for System 80's.

Because its Haunted?

Did you notice that to light the Trap Door you have to hit the left outlane and not the trapdoor ?

I agree Chi. That Comet solution would work fine. You could use an insert lamp instead of a GI so that it only comes on when a certain event happens.

Cool!

One thing I did was to use a green Glo-Ball instead of a normal ball. It looks cool but I am finding that it does not make the VUK consistently and it has to sometimes pop 2 or 3 times to get the ball back up onto main PF.

Not without a lot of rework. The Got flipper bats used in that era were a different 'stem' size. The old Got flipper mechs would most likely not clamp down.

Holy crap James I just saw this post, what a mess. I'll go take some pics of my HH tomorrow evening when I get home from work. Unless your at PWA and want to take your own on the way.

Yes.

I mean in 1982, did they even invent the word 'Million'?

OMG the horror...!

Glad you got it booted up. Scary.
