following as well. I recently picked up a TAF that had been sitting in a home unused for a few years. It is in great shape overall. looks to have been on route at one time but no major issues. The usual wear on chair hole and stripped out mechanic holes under playfield. Boards in great shape. Cabinet also in great shape, no extra holes of any kind.

I did a light going through: New ramp, Molex all the mechanics and switches for future full rebuild, cleaned playfield, replaced a few other parts.

Got it back up running 100%.

Going to enjoy playing it for a few months then will be doing a playfield swap.

Always enjoy seeing threads like this.

Quoted from uncivil_engineer:

So I managed to grab a little shop time this weekend. The ground strap is in, and I installed the new leg plates. You will notice I only installed three new leg plates. This is because the power box interferes with the front plate on the plunger side. So that one gets a regular leg insert.

You can drill another hole for the Power DPDT switch in the power box moving the box towards the back of the cabinet just enough to get a sturdy Leg Plate in there. Did it in my The Addams Family. Works Great.

Here is a pic. This is a mid-install pic but you can see how the power box has been moved enough to clear the heavy duty leg bracket.

Quoted from uncivil_engineer:

Well even with all the Christmas rush, I did manage to sneak out to the shop for a few minutes and put the decals I got from Marco on the apron. I used the we method just because it makes it easier to get them lined up. I can’t say I’m a fan of these decals. The black doesn’t match as well as I would have hoped. I thought about doing my tri-cut vinyl method to recreate the graphic, but ruled it out because of all the small text graphics.

Wow, those are noticeably lighter.

I ordered a set from Treasurecovepinball.com. I have not installed them yet but they are black and match my Apron Black

You may want to take a look.
