This is a tough game and I am the first to admit I am not a strong enough player to enjoy it. I think this is the reason this game has been getting some flack recently in the community. It is a very technical machine with very precise and deep game play. This machine needs to go to a skilled player who is looking for a new challenge or a collector who is more concerned about show pieces - The theme on this machine is breathtaking. Masochists would probably really like this machine too. Seriously though, beginner and average players are going to be frustratingly challenged (and taunted repeatedly) by this machine.

I hate it when trade ads say this, but I am going to say it now. I am not 100% committed to the idea of trading the game. It is still under warranty (Not sure if it transfers) and really is a beauty in my collection. I really just want to see what is out there and available. And if something just right comes across my plate, then I am sure we will be able to work something out.

The machine has less than 150 plays (and counting), art blades, shaker motor, real knocker. For total transparency, I am waiting on an extension wire harness for the shaker motor from American Pinball as it shipped with leads that were too short. That should arrive any day now and will take less time to install than it will to take the glass off and raise the playfield.

I don't have any cash on my end, but am not against trading down with cash added on your end. I prefer local (who doesn't?) but am not against a little driving as long as it is considered in the deal and/or it is for the right trade. I am also open to a multiple machine trade if a couple machines that combined come to the value of Houdini.

Otherwise, let me know what you have.

If you need photos of anything in particular just let me know. Thanks for looking!
