I’m just going to build one….
I’ve been obsessed with the game ever since I played it at the local pizza joint our family would frequent in the 90s. I have always wanted one but the right deal never comes or the price just keeps skyrocketing. I have a lineup I’m happy with but I still have a hole in my soul for addams family.
I was inspired by wallybgood’s builds years ago and have watched enough high end pins episodes that I feel like I am comfortable building one now. I work at a body shop and have access to a lot of the tools I will need, I do all the mechanical and electrical work here and have a lot of experience with metal fab so I feel I have a good amount of the skills to do this.
I ordered a mirco dark green glitter playfield and will be starting from there. I want to build the bottom side first and then start harness work and then complete the topside. I want to have a complete playfield ready to drop in before I move on. On the last build thread the big concern was the harness. That doesn’t really scare me. I have been saving wire harnesses from cars for about 3 years and will be scavenging as many wire colors as I can and will have to just order the stuff that can’t be found around the shop.
I wasn’t going to start this thread until I got a little farther but I guess here it is. It’s going to be a slow process but it should be fun. If you have any tips or are willing to sell parts please post or pm me.
Here we go!

Forgot to add, my friend has a machine I can peek at for reference. My son loved it too so that will be extra motivation.
