SUBJECT
We have six of the Funhousepinballs and as with
all new machines some minor problems appear.
This has to do with the "Eye Lids" open plunger.
PROBLEM
If you have lifted the playfield up and noticed a
small brass pin (approximately 3/16" x 1-1/4")
rolling around in the bottom, it has fallen out of
this plunger. Itisaguidepinforthis plunger that
is press fit with a small amount of sleeve re-
taining adhesive. With the combination of heat,
and the vibration of the plunger slamming up
and down, the pin falls out.

SOLUTION
Best thing to do is pull the head assembly out of
the playfield and remove the plunger. Take the
brass pin and slightly mar or crimp 1/2" of the
end with a pair of vise-grips and gently tap it
back into the plunger. File off any mushrooming
of the pin and reinstall to get a smooth operation
through the centering flange.

I thought this was an isolated problem, but as
the machines are cycled through the shop, so far
everyone has had to be repaired. Check yours!
