Always nice to see another person restoring games. I learn something every time I look at another restoration. All the photos won't load after about 10 minutes and several refreshes :)
I liked the use of the later WPC cabinet with the modular power box, and when I do my Addams, I think I'm going to install a buy in button ala TAFG along with an 8 inch sub.
Ha Ha, funny you say that... Thats exactly how I learn, by watching others and picking up tips here and there...
Mods are great but the client wanted a fresh stock unit otherwise the sub and the buy-in would be in my mod priority department.
Amazing Looks better than new.
Can you give an indication of the costs? I am curious....
As is... 11k AUD. I sold a MB in the same condition last year for 12k AUD. Have seen other MB's recently but not as refined for extra coin. Its a highly relative market but as more collectors enter the laws of supply & demand kick in. If new 90's model machines were reproduced it may equalize the value to a respectable level. So hold on to those babies!
Machine + Parts + Labour... it all adds up I suppose...
LEDs have added another dimension to the machine.
Truly outstanding and over the top work.
Are the rails and lockdown bar just polished or plated ?
Re: LED's... The electric chair has two lamps positioned at 90º to the players view so one would think to use frosted or the 180º lensed type? No, both versions looked shithouse so this was my compromise... Greg from RTBB sold me a version with 3 leds arranged in a triangle pattern so I got this one and put a bulb condom on it and bingo! had the same light spread as a traditional incandescent. Check the photos. The frosted lens on the others pointing directly at the player looked the horn! It pays to mix and match to get the right result. Anyway, LED's look awesome on modern machines. I would love to see them installed in some of the early models. Would be interesting I reckon.
Legs, Leg bolts, Hand rail & Trim were all chromed. Other bits were Nickel and Zinc coated. I don't like to go nuts on chrome but just make it look smart. I've seen coin doors and flipper mecs etc... stuff that you never see chromed which I think go's a little to far but each to their own... of course, pending what the application is it may be necessary to go hard. My 2 cents...
awesome work finny. I wish I had the time and knowledge to do such a restore. I hate my Addams now . Mine looks more like yours before restore.
Bring it down and I'll do something about it... ;)
Thanks all for your complements and questions... it's good to know your work is appreciated!!!!!
