Almost Done !

The game plays VERY WELL with no errors, but I plan on playing a few more games to ensure everything is 100%. So for now, it is simply being tested. I have to add a few more improvements, and what I will do ASAP is replace the current power cable. I'm still looking for a new set of slings, even though it is very difficult to see that the RHS is broken - but that's no excuse for leaving it there. I have to install two new door bolts and print & laminate the instruction cards.

So here's a few pictures taken in daylight to "show off" the ramp and the 99% completion of the machine. I've covered most of the processes I've used, so these pictures are the culmination of those efforts. The ramp is the "standout" - I can never look at another Addams with a standard smoked ramp.

Just a recap - these are the parts I've used for this machine. Note that EVERYTHING was bought from Pinball Spare Parts and RTBB - support these guys as they are doing a great job supporting this site and the community in general !
