New Pin to the collection - Haunted House


Strangeways

Recommended Posts

FINALLY... It's Home.. Well in the Garage. Project Haunted House (exactly as I like them) from the Child's Amusements container that arrived 4 weeks ago.

 

Being a project game, there's a lot of work ahead of me. It is complete, with the exception of the backglass (repro on its way) and a CPU board. I will use the "yet to be released" Pascal "all in one" system 80 board - and that is not due until Dec 08 - early 09.

 

Here's some pictures taken earlier today ;

Thanks to Mark and Geoff for reserving the game for me...It will be in good company with other titles that have been sourced through you guys - Medusa, Fathom and another (shhh) title..

Nice score Nino,

Been after a HH myself for a while now but not much chance of that happening.

 

Is it going to be keeping company with one of its System80 brothers ie: Spirit maybe or will it be the odd one out alongside your Bally's and Gottliebs?

alot of droooooling over this thread (particularly from Darksoul) - I better get the mop out. Not really into Gottliebs but you may change that.

 

Just curious Nino how many machines have you restored - its seems like you are doing one every month - and do you still have most of them?

When Dad pulled out of the amusement industry (Ex Operator), he left me 30 pins to do as I please. I save 6 left in the garage - so there is 24 machines restored from that lot.

 

I have documented each and every machine I have ever done, and the figure would be around the 60 mark.

 

I keep selling the ones I don't want and then purchasing games I've been chasing. Many of the owners of Machines Dad "gave away" in the 80's returned their games as their kids grew tired of them... but that's another story..

 

 

 

The story behind the Haunted house and Spirit was that in 1983, I used to catch the train into the city and go to the arcade in Elizabeth st - I think it was called "Flashbacks". It had a Spirit and a Haunted House next to each other. I was stunned just looking at them. They rarely worked, and I can never recall them ever BOTH switched on. But I returned, week and after week, pumping 20c into them !

 

Then I saw Gottman's collection with a Spirit and HH next to each other.... Well, that brought back the memories, and I wanted both machines in my gamesroom.

 

With all the recent development with replacement boards etc... System80s are more reliable and I have no doubt, both these games will be switched on and operating at the same time :D

 

There's a lot more love for system 1s and system 80s

HH is a great game IMHO. I had the opportunity to buy a HH from my brother a few years ago but passed on it due to it having a few problems that I would not have been able to fix myself. Now I know most (if not all) of those problems were fixable. Hindsight sucks :(

 

Oh, congratulations on your new purchase :D
