I was looking for a magic themed machine, and keep seeing Houdini popping up. (Although TOM is on my bucket list). Never looked inside one from American, and wondered if there were any 'gotchas' in servicing them? Like parts availability, playfield quality, etc.
Quoted from bobukcat:Other than the motherboard and a couple of other custom pieces it's all extremely serviceable. WPC mechs for flippers, pops, slings, etc. and P3-ROC boards for coils, switches (no matrix!), and LEDs. The power supplies are simple and modular so those are easily fixed / replaced. As others have said having so many A.P. peeps active here on Pinside is a major bonus. Houdini is one of the most under-rated games ever IMO, I still play it more than any other game in my collection.
Thrilled to hear this. Now if I could just figure out how to easily get a machine that is 7 hours away from me....
Quoted from MrSanRamon:I have Hot Wheels and it’s documentation is really bad, so far. Not sure why, perhaps it’s due to Covid-19 issues.
Houdini’s documentation and parts availability is much greater. Though there are almost no parts available on Marco. So, if you need parts the factory is your best solution.

Thanks a million. I have my sights on a Houdini in SoCal, but making room for it, and then getting it trucked up to east bay are my next two hurdles. (Know of anyone driving to SoCal for xmas??? LOL)
