I know, slightly off topic from the usual arcade stuff but still
Was wondering if anyone happened to know the rough sort of price you should expect to pay for a reasonable condition Addams Family Pinball table (i.e. 100% working if not perfect condition wise). Thinking this year might be the year I blow money on something I have wanted for years and years
Also anyone know anyone know any good pinball dealers in the UK which might be able to find/supply one. I know I can check ebay (in fact there is one on there atm if I recall) but no doubt I won't win that one...
Your looking at 1200 min for taf in normal condition if you can wait till the show there should be one for sale there that you can check out for yourself ..
is there a good traders forum for UK pinball machines? might get in on the lousy pound, £1K for an AFM is about half price of what they cost here in sweden..

Nah, I can wait, not going to go for the one on ebay anyway now. Might be more in a month or two when I saved abit of cash and paid for fixes to my car and house
You should expect to pay around £1500 for a nice Addams Family. Maybe around £1k for an OKish one and over £2k for something spectacular (brand new playfield/new artwork etc). I sold a completely scrap one for £800 and had 2 guys fighting to get it first - madness! If I could find enough Addams then I'd be doing it for a living - it's the one that everyone remembers from the pubs way back when. They're actually cheaper around Christmas time as so many people put them on ebay and the market gets flooded.
I have one that stands me at £1100 if anyone is interested. The playfield is good apart from some lines through the orange 'power' section on one side - I have an overlay to cover this (opinions on the overlays vary). It needs a new ramp (I have an original smoked ramp for £100 or you can buy new clear ones from America - although normally unpopulated). It needs new coach bolts that hold the hinges that hold the head to the body. Potentially a nice piece, but not something I could sell to a noob as-is and I have zero motivation at the moment to do it myself.
