It seems HUO is often overused and often mis-applied. I'm glad to report this example is truly HUO. Honestly, in it's 21 years of existence, I'm thinking the playfield glass may never have been off this machine! Gotta love that "made in the USA" sticker. Goodie bags there and complete.

Yes, does have some red fade on front and left sides (damn sunshine!).

Had 1 switch error; right ramp entrance switch was mis-adjusted, causing the diverter to never fire, hence right ramp loop exit switch never triggered.

Fish wear? What is all this talk I hear about Fish Wear? (jk...)

Enjoy some pics

Quoted from jfh:

Yeah - details please ... Those of us drooling are curious too.

Lets just say lucky craigslist find. Saw it as a new posting late sunday evening....figured 'what the heck' and responded (as usual) that I'd take it, no questions asked. Was loading it up by noon the next day.

Seller purchased it new and knew it's current value, so it was not a screaming deal. Given the rare opportunity to buy a HUO machine, I happily paid the asking price. I'm pretty certain (100%) I could resell it for the same price, so it was a minimal risk purchase. Still need to convince the wife the same.

It is as amazing in person as it looks in the pics. Really a neat feeling playing such a clean and tight - but 21 year old - machine.

And there was $0.50 in the coin box! Guess I can't say it never had a coin thru the slot.

The coinbox has the stainless dividers still sitting in the bottom of the box...never seen those before.

Also does not have holes for a lock bar. Was RS made in an era when they didn't come as a default?

Will take some higher res pics - did not know the camera was at a low res setting.

Are the rubber pads on Ted's dozer blade supposed to be full yellow, or do they have a black stripe down the middle?

Quoted from johnwartjr:

Nice score. Enjoy it!
I'm not a LED guy, but if LEDs help you enjoy it, go ahead - they are reversible

Nyah - the poll options were intended to be silly and meaningless. Except I hit enter by mistake and my post submitted, before I could complete the poll. Other options were to be "shrinkwrap it and put in storage" or "leave as-is".

There's enough LED's in it for me...i.e., on the backbox boards & the "Bridge Out" signs.

I probably will get a scoop protector - again, reversible.

Haven't noticed the ROM revision yet....but likely will be ordering the latest!

Quoted from Pimp77:

Nope, something wrong happened with the RS aprons...same paint as always.

Are there decals available to allow repainting the apron ?

Possibly a difference in the raw condition or preparation of the metal prior to paint. Like those mid-80's GMs with light blue paint that simply fell off. Except in the GM situation, there was a class-action lawsuit.
