Anyone have a spare Rudy eyelid closure plunger. Bought the one Phil has but it's for opening and its slightly different. My one is currently superglued. It's holding firm but sometimes the eyes don't open or close. It's the horizontal plunger at the back of the right eye.

Marco has one, may have to place a order with him..

Thanks :), managed to source one from Andy at Pinball Mania, bought a large box of rubbers and some extra bits and pieces too. As you do..
Still have a bit more to do as eye movement is not quite right. Will give it a clean and see if it helps. They go right ok , but slowly centre and when moving left they don't move by a huge margin. Would have thought this was ok had I not viewed tattyadams machine on YouTube..

Could you let us know if you find a fix for the eyes centering pls

I have had similar issues on mine. I polished the pin that goes into the eye sockets. Polished the double ended plunger that shifts the eyes left and right. I think that fine tolerances are involved here, so a little wear in the wrong place could make a big difference. The repro parts (eyeballs etc) have grommets to reduce the wear caused by the pins going into thin plastic holes, but i think this limits their motion
 
Funhouse is in my kitchen at the mo so play it most evenings. Rudy has definately become a favourite. It's just so damn addictive. Would like to get the pin in as good shape as possibly without going overboard on cost/bits. Don't make em like this anymore..
