OP
Quoted from dangerranger96:
Hola,
So I have been searching for a The Addams Family or a Attack from Mars project game for a while now. I feel like it is really hard to find "project" machines. Anywho, I got this wild hair today that maybe I should just build one from scratch. They are both popular enough that there seems to be every part imaginable available. My only concern is a wiring harness. I can not seem to find one of those anywhere. I have found schematics, I could reproduce it (after a s*** ton of work). You see people doing restores with repro playfields and cabs but that person seems to always have a donor game to steal parts off of. SO, money aside, is this a possible thing?

A guy just picked up an addams family project locally to me. He may sell it to you. His name is Cary Hardy, and ge chronicles it on YouTube.

I would contact him on facebook if you are interested.

Im just curious here...but with so many production TAFs around (20, 270), why not just pick one up and do a full shop out?

I mean, I understand if you want everything "new," but you have to figure that is just going to cost a ton (8-10k or more) and take hundreds of hours to do. I guess if you just want the challenge, it doesn't matter. But if time is money and money is time...why get concerned about the price or hours spent?

Maybe I am getting too philosophical...
