Buyer beware! I bought what was advertised as a museum quality fully restored Addams family Pin. It was advertised as having a new old stock playfield that he found in a sealed box. This was one of the main reasons I purchased it.
I spent months waiting the arrival of this machine. Constantly dealt with delays in production. His shop was behind, he had other projects going on, it was too cold to paint......yada yada yada.
Finally after 5 months of waiting the machine came to me. The moral of the story, he went and bought a busted up machine and threw a quick coat of paint on it and sent it to me. The top rails are rusted, the graphics are bubbled where the legs are connected, the plunger wouldn't even send the ball to the top of the ramp because the casing was broken and the shaft was not aligned, the cabinet is completely misaligned/broken/cracked, the balls go into the vault and the game cannot find them later, the thing hand hits against the edge of the box and snaps over it, and worst of all the screws he used were too long and punched holes in the playfield. He ruined this new old stock playfield.
I called and was not happy with the condition in which the game was delivered. He then told me I could send it back to him and he "MAY" be able to put it on consignment and try and get what I paid for out of it. I wasn't even remotely going to consider that option. He then told me he could build another one which would take another 5-6 months, but given the condition in which I received the first one I wasn't going to go that route either.
He then told me that I could ship the machine back to him, but he doesn't have the money to refund me due to COVID. I had no other choice but to call my credit card company and file a fraud claim. The last four months has been a back and forth battle with the merchant claiming that all of the damage was caused in shipping. I filed a claim with the carrier and they denied it. Now the merchant has shut his business down. Complete and total scam artist.
