I found a Black Hole locally which is extremely tough to do. The guy that I bought it from buys, sells and repairs pins. I asked him if he knew where I could get a BH Pin. I have not seen one in years around this part of town. Well he found one stripped it down waxed the play field reassembled it. Called me and asked if I was still interested I said yes if the price was right. So now I am the proud owner of pinball #2. My first pin was haunted House Had to have Gottlieb Sister.

Nice pick up! I am in the process of repairing/restoring my black hole. Just like you, I too had to have one sitting next to my haunted house!

Nice machine. I've been on the lookout for one as well. i'm curious what's the going value for one in that condition?
 
I'd guess somewhere around $1000-$1200 in that condition if it's 100% working and the mods have been done well.
I could be wrong on that.

You look to be extremely lucky finding one with what appears to be factory mylar. That playfield is beautiful. I had to do a ton of touchups on mine and clearcoat it to get it to look that nice.

It's a fun game. Mine has gotten a little over shadowed by some newer DMD games, but it's still a hit when people come over because of its voice and the lights on the backglass....it just draws you in.

I,m into this a tad more than twelve. However If I would not have bought it, it would of sold locally very quickly. The seller gave me first dubs on it, plus he gave me a generous warranty.

Here is one that sold for nearly $4000 here in my State. I didn't even come close to this
and feel I done just as good.

Yes it is challenging. I have played it several plays not even close to making the multi-ball.
That is what is so enthusiastic about it. It's not easy.
 
congratulations ! HH and BH together are great !
have them too - BH still not working though :-§
