Addams Family, The
Bally, 1992Quoted from mjenison:Hi,
I made one for mine. I can send you the file. I just noticed yours is installed much differently than mine, which confirms that they basically slapped it on however they felt.
I can also mail a pre-made one for you if need. Send me your address and I'll get it out this weekend.
"That's the spirit!"
just got my "beware" sign yesterday & installed.
it looks amazing 
i almost want to shine some small colored light at the sign so I can better see all the cool detail that's in black.
maybe put a little red or purple light behind it?
or maybe grab some acrylic paint and dab a little gray on some of the smaller black parts?

Thanks for the compliments. I want to make a version 2 of this that lights up eventually. It is on my list of "Things" to do. 
Quoted from trab:Added the greed book mod & the beware of thing sign. Both of these are great and look factory. Got rid of my vault as it was blocking my view of thing. Also put on some of the new stainless ramp flaps from Pinbits as my factory ones were rusted really badly.20160313_125437_(resized).jpg
Trab, Your machine looks very nice!

Thanks i have been working on it alot here lately. Most of the machine is in good shape, the mansion was getting a little beat up so i did end up putting a decal on top of it. The thing sign was the perfect touch, so thanks again for that. Before you go updating the sign make us something to cover this switch that is on the right side, it has wires right in my face 
...
Quoted from Ericpinballfan:There are several switches that could use a good cover!
There are, but i think out of them all this is the most prominent. I cant think up a good way to cover it though.
Shopping a taf for a friend. Looking for the blue led lighting for the topper. Does someone Sell this mod or is it just a blue led strip Thx

Thanks. Dave. He likes when it's lit in blue all the time. But I'll add flashers

Available at LeesParts.com Lights the cloud blue all the time but still allows the flashers to be visible when active.

I have this mod from Lee's, I love it, it doesn't flash, as he stated, it is always on and it is a LED strip. Simple to install, but I think it adds to the game, at least for me.
I have many other of Lee's mods as well, love them all.
Phil
Thanks Phil. I ordered topper mod from him. For swamp ill prob just add green leds or a green led strip.

I put this one in my swamp, just stuck it on the back of the swamp kickout so it cant be seen by the player. Really is bright and gives a nice glow around the swamp area.

Nah... it goes straight to the seller pockets...

I highly doubt that, shipping charges have gone way up on stuff even within the US in the last few years. I used to be able to ship things, by standard mail, or UPS or FedEx really cheap. Something like an xmas ornament would cost me US $2-3 to ship, and now it costs me US $6-8, it is just crazy.

Dude, several led strips can be sent using a letter envelope.... Last month I bought some stuff from Marco Spec... they charged me US$ 9.00 to ship me a small box... USPS tracked....
I sell alot on ebay and they have a new ebay global shipping program, where ebay will handle sending it oversea's. Usually i dont sell outside the US because its normally a hassle. Well i have been using that program and had a guy ask if the shipping charge was correct because it seemed high on an item of mine. I was only charging a flat rate of $5 to send this item i was selling. So i look into it and ebay was charging him $27 on top of what i charged. So i dont think its the seller trying to charge you that much.

It is because of the insurance risk to Rio De Janeiro. You guys are the first to go when the bugs decide to take us out.

I was comparing pictures of your original to this one and noticed there is a slight difference. That's because the one I sent you is a copy from a TAFG. It looks like they redid this particular sticker, because it differs slightly from the original TAF.
Sorry I didn't notice before.
No Worries. Just happy to have one so thank you again! This machine was a working but horrible mess. Some History on bringing it back: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/another-nutty-playfield-swap-taf-edition/page/2#post-1681118

Quoted from dmacy:It looks odd in that picture no doubt.
I've got a black cloud topper with bright white flashes... Not that light-show but I dig it! Anyway, the black cloud topper looks way much better than the white one, specialy when the white is old....

I had found a NOS topper as mine was missing so it's that darkish clear like you said. Was tempted to get the black one.
There's the classic "smoke" cloud, put on 99% of Addams at production. The Australia guy when he had rights before planetary pinball, made the black cloud, and clear. The original smoke much harder to recreate.

Now I see... Didn't know that... I've got an (must be) original one that came with when I bought my TAF, but it's kinda "yellowish"...
Yellowish??? Humm, ....I'd say that's sun damage like my destroyed Hurricane Topper. Best way to describe the original smoke cloud topper is....looks like you have to take it off and clean it because it's really dusty on the inside.

This add of an original smoke cloud topper is in the marketplace right now. You can seen what I mean by dirty and dusty look.

No I didn't ipb made them wrong, they didn't mix the plastic pallet correctly
Hooked a Polk Audio sub up to my Addams Family yesterday. I highly recommend. The build to multi ball is incredible. What a great game!!
Quoted from delt31:about to buy an Addams and wondering about the Chair and Swamp LED mod. Is this really a mod I need to buy sep or can I do it myself with a standard LED?
buy or do it yourself. either is good. little cheaper by yourself. or shop around for best priced mods.
Quoted from delt31:about to buy an Addams and wondering about the Chair and Swamp LED mod. Is this really a mod I need to buy sep or can I do it myself with a standard LED?
Yea you can easily do it yourself, should probably cost $6 for the swamp and maybe $3-4 for the chair.

The bookcase LED is the most needed.I recently bought the bookcase and swamp led's from Lee Parts in this thread.Works well and looks great.
Quoted from trab:Yea you can easily do it yourself, should probably cost $6 for the swamp and maybe $3-4 for the chair.
Care to share how to do it? Is it just an LED attached to the bottom of the PF? Just not sure how it works.
