Man this is great. i just picked up my second game. I got a call from a friend who said their mom had an old pinball machine in their basement. I asked which one and he said "its a funhouse!". I was very excited as I have never seen one before, but heard alot of talk about people restoring them. So I looked up the price on a boston repair web-site. This thing sure goes for alot of money. She wanted 5000 dollars for it, which is close to what the nice ones are going for. So I go and look at it and it looks to be in pretty ok shape but does not work. The backglass is flaking a little too. The legs could use some new stain as well as they are pretty old. So I negotiate her down to 2600 bucks! I now have 2 machines to work on!

She was just not a very nice woman. She thought all pinball machines were worth 5000 bucks. This one was not in good shape so I got it half price. It is also missing a pop bumber cap. I keep buying pinballs with missing caps. oh well.

Does nayome know where I can get one of these green caps in this picture? http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=967&picno=22357

Hello,
My machine definitely does not look like the machine in the picture and I think the playfield is made of wood and not lexan. I will double check next time I look inside of it. What color would the lexan be if it was? I think the bottom of the playfield is a grayish brown color.

Do you have a link for PBL, I am not really familiar with that website? I need to find the left green pop bumber cap.

I appoligize, I am a bit embarrassed and still very new to pinball. I have not played since I was a teenager.

Does anyone have the links to the pop BUMPER caps? Someone mentioned PBL for them. thank you

lol nope! Although, I have met the real voice actor of Elmo. I collect Elmo stuff and now just started into pinball. I have always been fascinated by pinball.

I am also a graphic designer and website designer!

Thank You. This seems to be the only helpful thing here. I am not a troll you guys. My friend said this website was highly recommended for new people that know nothing about pinball.

Too bad that parts website does not allow me to pay with a credit card.
