Up for sale is my lovely HUO Alice Cooper's Nightmare Castle, price £5200 OBO.

It doesn't have a lifetime gameplay audit but my Pins only get light use, so based on figures I recorded last year I'd say it has had 300-400 lifetime games played.

The only negative is the metal upper playfield ball guide is not fitted. This came loose when I first played it and on seeing what damage a loose one can do to a playfield I erred on the side of caution and decided not to try sticking it back in place and left it off. It doesn't make any difference to the gameplay/shots and is provided should you want to put it back.

There are some very minor cosmetic marks on the side rails, hardly even worth a mention and so minor I struggled to capture them when taking a photo. The couple of marks where the lockdown bar meets the side rails are only visible if the lockdown bar isn't fully pushed forward. There is a very small 'wrinkle' on the right backbox corner which I only noticed when taking photos.

This is quite a loaded Pin:
I've counted 13 shots (plus 4 outlanes) on the main playfield, and 7 on the upper playfield
2 magnets including centre magnet ball save
Physical Frankenstein 2 ball lock
Guillotine ball chop
3 drop targets (2 Danesi style inline locking)
1 spinner
Castle & Monster sculpts by Back Alley Creations
Excellent sound system
Beautiful cabinet/backglass artwork
Beautiful playfield, no pooling or chipping on this one!

This machine also includes:
Shaker motor
Colour changing speaker lights
Art blades
5 piece plastic protector set
Powder coated trim
A few spare bulbs and stickers

Apart from a faulty bulb which has been replaced I haven't had any issues with it. All mechs and everything working as expected.

Thanks for looking!

Thanks Neil, he did contact me a couple of weeks ago but I haven't had any further contact with him since we last spoke.
Hi both and apologies... I was looking into that special AC charity edition we discussed but I've also been busy with work. Obviously new pins are not cheap, the new price is whatever it is but clearly the second (or however many) hand market demands quite high prices too - although I think it might be artificially high at the moment thanks to Covid. I don't want to pull anybody's pants down but I'm taking my time to find the right machine at the right price. With £9k already set aside for GnR when it eventually ships, I need to be a bit more circumspect about how much I spend adding to the collection. Best regards - Tim.
 
Price drop to £5200, this is starting to turn into a bleedin' Dutch auction!

It's a fantastic, fully featured, fully working, good looking, great sounding, great playing Pin.

Might be time to try eBay.
 
If only I had the space.
Can't believe this is still available.
Only 500 made and yes a challenging pin but it's bloody gorgeous.
Hope someone sees sense
 
Tempted but never played one before. And my heart was set on a jp2. Which I know is brilliant. Someone please buy this soon.
 
Drove up Martin's way today and paid him plus collected the pin. Smashing bloke, did everything to make it a piece of cake to load into the van. Just owe him a wee bit of money which I'll send tomorrow because of my bank limitation of 5k I wasn't aware of.
👍👍
No problem at all, it was nice to see you, hope you have lots of fun with it.
