I have a fully working Sample Funhouse that I have been restoring. I hit a brick wall with two issues and would now like to sell it, as I do not have the time nor resolve to fix these last two issues
1). The PF is non-Diamond Plated, instead had the mylar overlay, which I removed, but the glue is still on about 30-40% of the PF and inserts. I do not have the skill nor patience to get the remaining glue off the PF and inserts.
2). Rudy's eyes do not shut. Rudy is functioning otherwise.

Other issues include the cab red fade, but is otherwise in good condition. The game plays well, no other major issues.

I also LED'd the entire GI, backbox and inserts.

Question: What's the sample Funhouse worth in this condition?

How long has the mylar been pulled? Ive seen that if the glue isnt removed right after the mylar is off that it will be a real bear to get off, not that it's easy otherwise.

The mylar was partially separated from the playfield even prior to my full removal, due mostly to raised inserts pushing it up in many areas. My full removal of the mylar has been over a year, most of the glue left on the PF is around the center inserts. I actually purchased decals for the game, in case the letters and numbers rub off.

Tough without seeing pictures, but I'd guess maybe $2500 on the high side.

You mentioned it's a non diamond plate playfield?

Can you confirm it's a sample game?

Did you fix the inserts? Sounds like a fairly large project there.

Yeah..the PF is a big deal. If it is truly a sample and a diamondplate, it's a special playfield. And if it's got issues with old glue and insert problems, it should be restored, not replaced.
