Picked up my 3rd and 4th pinballs this weekend. 1st was a freebie, jungle lord
which still isnt working. 2nd was Rocky and Bullwinkle which is near perfect
(HUO) and plays great..

Black Hole and Haunted House joined the collection this weekend.

Haunted House works and looks fantastic. I cant find any playfield wear and
the backglass was touched up in a couple minor unlit spots really well. Cab
has a could minor dings here and there but over all the game is in super nice
shape. Someone really took care of this HH over the years.
It was playing perfect at the guys place but now I set it up in my
basement I think I need to make some adjustments to the upkickers. They
work most of the time but occasionaly the ball never comes up. A switch
thing I'm sure.

Black hole needs some work. The playfield is in dirty/decent shape but
but its going to need some touch up under the pop bumpers mylar where there is
wear. Its like the paint is powdered from a million impact under them.
Needs new rubber and a really good cleaning! The cab is decent as well as
the backglass. This one doesnt work though. The trough solenoid locks on as
soon as the game is fired up. So a bad transistor somewhere I am sure. Of
course it doesnt help that I broke the playfield glass moving it in the house:(
I'm excited to get working on this one.

The last one on my must buy list for now is a sweet pinbot. Gotta refill the
arcade fund first though. Anyone wanna buy my centipede?:)

Nice to have both of the gottlieb greats. The playfield glass breaking is better than the backglasses breaking. HH is a neat game, but once you get that BH working and tuned up, you won't play HH that much.
 
Congrats Mike!

Was this game from Earlington, PA? That was a really nice example of Haunted House. I played it many times. Glad it went to a collector.

Sorry to hear of the glass breaking :( Was that the BH from the other KLOV member?

You're getting quite the pin lineup!!!!

The BH came from EagleTG. The HH actually came from a guy in North Jersey
off Mr. Pinball. I looked at the one in earlington and it was nice but had a
few spots of playfield wear. This one has none basically.
