Update:

P/F Back on the rotisserie after returning from the clearcoater dude.
Just need to wire up the pop bumper LEDs, fit the ramp & wireform, make a few adjustments and . . .
Fester's your uncle :D

(1) Nice & shiny.
(2) Blackened metal lamp bracket & bolted on a switch cover.
(3) New black wafers in the graveyard.
(4) To cap it all off . . .

At last it's all back in one piece & playing beautifully $#$
Had a couple of technical issues resolved by a very good friend.
Final physical & cosmetic tweaks completed.
Added two separate reflectorised lamps on posts to illuminate the left ramp diverter and thing's box area.
Finally fixed the notorious TAF problem of balls derailing from the cross playfield wireform by brazing on a pair of upper rails. Satin blacked the whole thing along with the apron wire rail to match.

Meanwhile:

2: Clearer shot of lamp standard
3: Another lit shot. Note Greeeeen cab on '37 cadillac
4: Black topper lit from within (poor photo)

Stern rails look a bit unusual on an Addams, but that is certainly one awesome custom machine, nice work

You're right there Craig - the whole thing is a fraud.
Not even a black topper, let alone any customisation. Fecking liars.
