TAF For Sale

Postby Bish500 » Sun Oct 01, 2017 4:34 pm

For your consideration, a Player's Quality "The Addams Family" pinball machine.

It has playfield wear. The ramps have both been replaced with new/repro ramps. It has the Uncle Fester mod for the electric chair. There are LEDs in the backboard and in the topper.

It is at a friend's place. He is going through a divorce & selling his house. He tells me that the solenoids suddenly stopped working a few weeks ago. I looked at the machine at the end of August, and when I removed the fuse for the solenoids in question, it crumbled. I suspect that's the problem, but have not been able to go back since, and will be selling the machine "as is".

I am also in the process of going through a separation. I'm leaving the hobby. I'm trying to raise enough funds to restructure.

I'm looking for $7,500 OBO. I've been offered $6,000, and have turned it down...so.. obviously your best offer should be more. Please don't try to justify your position that it's worth far less than I'm asking because of the playfield wear, the price of tea in China or the current alignment of the stars. Make an offer if you're serious, but if you're just lowballing, please save your effort.

Pictures as follows:

If you need specific photos of something that's not shown, please let me know, and I'll do my best to get it for you. Understand the machine is not at my house, and I don't have access to it. Picture requests may take several days to accommodate.

Thanks for your interest.

You're definitely going in the right direction, B1....keep going, though.

Yes...it likely is your old Kangaroo from years ago. I got it from someone I know from here, but can't remember from whom now.

$6500 cash will take this...but please - I'm not prepared to go any lower. I'm saddened by the number of people who see this only as an opportunity to put the figurative boots to someone who's clearly not selling for a positive reason. For all of you lowballers, please stop trying to get yourself a bargain. It ain't happening!

If no one wants this at $6500, I'll take it off the market, and thank all of you for your interest.

So....if you're not selling for good reasons, does that mean you're selling for evil reasons?

6500 seems to be relatively fair. It's not a stellar deal by any means but not overpriced either, to be honest.

dump another 1300 for a repro playfield and it will be as good as new and under 8k all in.

Now only if I had the funds for a purchase like that...
I want more games...
