Here are some pictures of a recent shop out of a TAF for a friend that I did using Titan competition rings. I also color matched the posts and flasher caps to the playfield/plastics. Curious if people think this looks good or takes away from the original colors. For example because it has the red pingraffix pin blades I changed the flasher cap on the red curtains to a red plastic cap instead of clear. I also changed the back right flasher cap to blue to match the plastics and I changed the clear cap over the swamp to green. I also changed the plastic posts to red to match the curtain areas...Thoughts?

Yes its the best way to do it and actually removng the playfield is not that hard your dont need to disconnect anything, just pull it out and set to the side of the machine. HOWEVER make sure you have help when you put it back in as the playfield will snag the pinblades and tear them if you dont do it very delicately.

Yes There is enough give to pull it out without problem. I have had the playfield on a rotissrie style right next to the machine before. Just be careful when setting it up. I wish I had a picture to show you but it works.

Do you have the blinking leds in the 44 holes? Cointaker sells them. A warm white behind the "The Thing" looks nice as well as some reds in the window.

based on Previous bad experience be very careful putting the playfield in and have help as it is very EASY to snag and tear your pinblades when putting the playfield back in

Post pictures once you have them on would love to see what yours looks like!

Here is a picture with the plastic removed its just two screws you can reach with a long screw driver.

I am shopping out my friends addams family and just finished cleaning/waxing/polishing the playfield. His is in great condition and it came out nice. What do you think?

A couple more perspective pictures. For an original playfield its really nice no mansion wear or magnet burn. And yes when I shop out machines I always remove the foam pads behind the stationary targets and replace with new padding it really makes it POP.

Cointaker sells LED replacements that work great. I have used them on all the addams I have worked on. I think Comet sells LED replacements also but here the link for Cointaker.

Nope they are plug and play. Just pop'em in and they work just like regular blinker bulbs!

The socket for TAF does not make the bulb blink so to clarify you can put a 44 incandescent or a 44 LED in there and they will fit and work but will not blink. If you want a blinker bulb you dont have to change the socket just buy the 455 incandescent from pinball life or the 455 LED from cointaker.

NP I love LED bulbs and love to assist! Keep asking questions we are all here to help!

Very good deal if its shopped and clean and has a decent playfield go for it. You probably won't find one like that again at that price. Here in the states that would only get you a heavily routed machine with playfield damage that needs restoration.

That is awesome thanks for posting I always wondered what those plastics were for as I have bought multiple packs of new TAF plastics and never knew what they were for. I may have to try that out and will let you know the results.

Again thanks for the post and FANTASTIC JOB with the Olympics! BEST OPENING/CLOSING CEREMONY EVER and a great showing by the Brazilian teams!

I agree the top one looks the best!

If anyone can use a bunch of New and USED TAF Plastics I have a lot on Ebay.

I am not sure if it is the same overlay but I have used these professional ones from Little Shop of games and and if you prep and apply them correctly you get fantastic results. I have done them in several Addams and the customers have been happy with the before and after.

I believe you have to have both balls already locked then have it land on thing. This is why you can't activate it just by hitting the switches a bunch of time. Lock up two balls and then try it.

Sid this site has everything Gold in stock except for the thing box. I just searched addams family on the site then sorted by playfield parts if the search link below does not work. I have ordered from this site before and they are legit.
