The sound board features all original sounds that were cleaned up, sounds better than the original
User-selectable background music. I currently have the original music, Spooky Scary Skeletons, Nightmare Before Christmas, Munsters theme, Halloween theme. Easily user customizable, happy to add any custom music you wish. The sound card is plug and play with the factory 8 track connector. Should you choose to put an original 8 track player in, it is an easy drop in replacement.

Game was in climate controlled storage since the early 2000's when I rescued it, I spent 2 years and hundreds of hours restoring this game. Last tax sticker on it expired in 1989.

$5500, trades for/towards modern pinballs considered.
Garage pickup in NW Chicago or happy to work with your shipper.

Very nice and worth every penny. This is the only other time I've seen one as nice as the one I currently own, restored & with a custom sound solution, didn't know another existed. It's extremely rare to see one in this type of condition and not something that anyone can easily restore, not to mention having most of the original parts still intact. Great job & GLWTS!!
 
I had a non-working Spooks for a long time and finally sold it. It was also restored like this and is now in someone's collection. This is very tempting.
