Addams is a fast game if reconditioned correctly. I know what you mean about the game being "slow". I refer to this as being "sluggish" more than "slow". The game in the video looks slow because I don't think the pitch is set correctly. I look for a few key indicators ;

1 - Pop Bumpers - there are 5 pops that can add serious speed in that area. Rarely are these removed and replaced with new parts above the playfield and rarely are the moving parts checked for broken yokes etc.
2 - Ramp - check where the ball does a 180 degree turn. Often cracked or broken. i have seen some repairs that basically slow the game down in that area
3 - Bookcase - is it level with the playfield ?
4 - Flipper coils - VERY common to see games with the wrong coils. This affects the speed.

I've sold restored Addams from between $5800 - $6400 - these included new flipper kits, full rebuild of the playfield, new PinballInc / RTBB Ramp and buffed / waxed playfield.

TAF and CFTBL are both very good games. I can't say TAF is definitely a better game.

I don't have any at the moment.

Thanks Nino for a game they made so many off I don't see many Adams Family's around for sale.

Peter - most of the dealers will have them in stock. They are very common. For the amount produced, not many change hands once in collections.
