I purchased a machine a few weeks ago and the seller thought it was a HUO machine. It looked pretty good at his house so I bought it. After getting it home and looking it over real good in better light, this machine is much better than I thought it was. It is a Dr Dude that looks brand new. Has this ever happened to anybody else? Have you ever gotten a game that was nicer once you got it home. Yes it was from a fellow pinsider, but I did not know that until I met him.

I got a 1964 World Fair off CL, it was actually under their back porch outside. Listed for $40 no name of the game just distant tiny pictures. Bought it sight unseen for $125. Turned out to be "HUO" for the last 35 years and broken for 25 of those. Cleaned up practically like new. Cab needed restoring as it was slathered in all orange paint somewhere along the way. Real diamond in the rough. Excellent BG too.

My Blackout once I got it home turned out to have been shopped so well I didn't need to adjust a single switch. Even the underside of the playfield and coil wrappers were clean.
