After seeing Pat Lawlor talk about creating The Addams Family, the one thing that I keep coming back to is when he said that Williams was making a whopping 230 MACHINES A DAY! Full cabinets, fully tested, boxed for shipping. That number is incredible!!!

It really shows both how popular Addams was/is and how far the demand for pins has dropped in today's world.

Second highest earning entertainment device in the history of entertainment! Second to... wait for it... Whack A Mole. LoL.

(Not really fair since Whack A Mole has been around FOREVER and most amusement parks have about 4,000 Whack A Mole machines. But hey.)

No matter how you slice it, Addams was a MEGA HIT like has never been seen before or since!

Lawlor had the June 2012 issue of Playmeter magazine in his hands as he spoke. That's not my fact, it's their's and they are the industry standard. It also said that FOUR of the top ten EARNING pinballs were Lawlor designs. That's no joke.

It's a crime that he is sitting on the sidelines as pinball gets a second wind. Jack was in the audience, I HOPE they at least had a nice conversation. Could you imagine a Lawlor game with JJP's build quality and shine? Wow!

Pat didn't seem overly excited about printing T-Shirts all day...
