Hello,
Can somebody help, when the clock hits 12 midnight the game displays gameover and to play again have to hit start. Until midnight the game plays fine. New at this and have not a clue , any help would be great
thanks
 
If the game basically appears to reboot then it sounds like a watch dog timer reset is happening. A short would be my guess. IIRC there's a 905 bulb that shares/occupies the 12 o'clock insert space. More than likely as soon as power lights that bulb it's shorting out causing the reset. Grounded power wire or simply the diode is broken off the bulb socket assembly and needs re-soldered.
 
its under the playfield , the insert where the 12:00 bulb sits, check the diode on the bulb socket to see if its touching metal or broken off, may just need readjusted under there, circled here

Trying to remember but doesn't Rudy's eyes close and his mouth open at midnight?

You might wanna disconnect the jaw motor and pull the wire for the eye lids and see if it still reboots at midnight

That would've been my guess too. I've never owned a Funhouse, so I'm just shooting from the peanut gallery, but it's the first thing I thought of.
