Addams Restore

[faza]

Another update cabinet and headbox have been painted and today i installed the cabinet and headbox decals, i used the dry method and i am happy with the results so far .
Installed new coin door new legs as well as a few other bits and pieces at last its starting to look like a pinball again.
The flash shows up all my finger marks will have to give it a clean .
I will run the earth braid in the headbox this week and hopefully attach it the cabinet.

Great job - Really well done !

Now be careful with re assembly - don't leave any accidental marks on your machine.

Looking very nice indeed.

Clearly a lot of work, time and effort has gone into that game to transform it from its former shape.

The decals have come up nice.  Were they sourced locally or overseas..

John,

Results look absolutely PERFECT!! You should be wrapped with the cabinet, and i'm interested to know where these decals are from...they sure do look minty 

Keep up the great work, and i'm really looking forward to further updates

Thanks guys its starting to come together now once i have finished the cabinet work i will start on the playfield swap.
The decals were sourced from the pinball factory .

Really enjoying the reassembly of the machine as you can see in the following pictures the 240 volt wiring attached to the On / Off switch was starting to cook due to loose connectors after parts came back from the platers this was reassembled and rewired .
I found that no one stocks black circular flex to replace the 240 volt power lead to the switch so a tip for others is to buy a 5 metre black extension lead and cut the female plug off .

Head box has been reattched to the cabinet, it is really starting to take shape, had Pinball Tales restore a few decals for me i think it really makes a difference as shown in the following pictures.

Got a few spare hours tonight and made up a remote battery holder used a thumbtack for the negative on the battery but managed to pop the positive terminal plate out of the dummy battery and solder it directly to it (picture is wrong).
Made up a few stickers for each battery  with left middle and right so they wont be mixed up, as i also put a connector on the leads the dummy batteries in theory should never be removed from the battery holder.
The remote battery has been velcroed onto the headbox for easy removal when changing batteries.
Photos show the original battery holder which has been replaced, luckily there is no battery damage to the board.
Im pretty happy with the result

Excellent attention to detail, that cab looks great. How hard is it to keep the dust out inside against the black.
