Successful Haunted House trip last Sunday!!!
Overall the game is in good physical shape and "mostly" working.
This past week I installed the 8-track player since it wasn't installed when I picked the game up. Two of the four sounds worked initially and after a bit of trouble shooting(and cleaning) the other two sounds started working too!
The monster works as it should. The one cat works as it should while the other cat is acting very shy(as in it won't pop up). The witch works... ish. She will only pop up about 6 inches.
Hoping to get everything working 100% this weekend. After that I want to enjoy the game! Next spring/summer I may start "refurbishing" the cabinet paint. I *HATE* totally stripping paint off since I like patina. BUT, the white on this game definitely needs help. I'm thinking I will make stencils for the WHITE ONLY. The other colors are mostly fine so a little touch up here and there will probably be enough for me.
So happy I got lucky finding this! And to top it off the person I picked it up from has an AWESOME EM collection! Soo many neat games. He really opened my eyes on what an "arcade collection" can be.

And I'll be sure to update this thread when I make progress with the game.
