I am looking for information and pictures of the solid brass lock down bar that was used for The Addams Family gold.

I heard from a reliable source that some of the early versions of the gold edition might have had a solid brass lockdown bar. I am looking to confirm this and hoping someone has pictures of one.

I am really hoping to find more information on the one I have. It’s solid brass (cast) and it’s got some weight to it. The mounting tabs are stainless steel and attached with screws and nuts. Someone sure went through a lot of trouble to make this. It’s an interesting piece whether it came from an early version of Addams Family gold or not.

Quoted from thepinballworks:

This one come on my TAFG. I had it cleaned and cleared coated. I am not sure if it was a original part or not. [quoted image]

Thank you! There is another one! That is pretty much the same as mine, a solid cast brass lockdown bar. I see yours only has one screw holding the mounting tabs to the solid brass part and mine has 2 screws but I’d be willing to bet these were made by the same person/company. Would love to know the origin of these.

Quoted from Bangback:

I picked up my TAFG in 1995 and it had a similar brass lockdown bar as pictured above but had a steel plate either glued or welded to it. The sides of it where the hands rest had dulled a bit, but I believe it to be solid brass and not brass plated? Though I’m not sure? Otherwise wouldn’t the wear spots be silver in color? When I got my game, I ordered a new one from WMS and the replacement was also the same. I've kept the worn one on my game to play, fearful that the replacement I got would look the same way after a while. I remember the price being expensive at the time, and I think I ordered it through Mazzco, which eventually got bought out by Happ. Below are pictures of the one that came on my game and the replacement I got from WMS.

Interesting. That one is different. It appears to be solid brass but stamped and it has a normal undercarriage. Thank you for sharing. I’m wondering why there was ones that were cast when a tool already existed to make the piece.

Quoted from LTG:

Somebody reproduced them years later. I've seen a couple like that.
The person doing that didn't have access to what Williams used.
LTG : )

Wow! Anyone know who made the cast ones? How many were made? It would have been so much easier to have a normal lockdown bar plated if they were just trying to replicate an original.
