dont be talkin crazy shit about giving up!..stick with it on this pin as its great game to add to your collection.much info and help you can get on pinside as well as the internet on haunted house..do the grounds as mentioned and you will eliminate much of your worry on this pin.many of us feel the same way at times when things dont work when we get our pins home after buying..bought ours from a great pinsider years ago on a great deal.my son went and picked it up for me.1 mile from buyers house a car slammed into the back of my sons van.game worked perfect before this at buyers house.got it home and sound no longer worked.i freaked out and was ready to throw in the towel on the deal..forced me to learn how to find and fix problems on other older gottlieb 80 and 80B games..like daditude mention..watch the tech and learn and you will be fine ..good luck

well good morning mike..always a treat to hear from you..wish my problem with this shop were as simple as fixing a HH...as you know back at home i had more than a few avenues and friends to help me with almost anything to do with our old shop or pinball..what maybe 100 or more pinsiders within 10 miles of the shop..even had some asshole who offered security cameras and plan to keep out thieves back home.. here..1-active pinsider in 35 miles of this new shop and he did not answer my welcome email..no power.. so impossible to even start a shop here...
