No Longer Available Knackered TAF £2500 as is or £3500 working

[philpalmer]

Martin here tomorrow

we made one taf out of two and this is what’s left. All boards were just lying around here broken. Dmd hasn’t been touched or cpu and it looks nice.

cabinet is nasty but pf not that bad.

we swapped loom as some idiot had cut and joined one on our other taf. It’s a nice job just something i can’t sell on a restored game

 

[replicas]

That is nasty.
Im still looking for a Addams cab so if it does get split up id be interested in the cabinet.

 

[davro-one]

Good project for a brave man

could be interested in the playfield if you go down the splitting route

 

[ronnie63]

I would love to tackle this but my brain is stuck in 90's pricing! Great project

 

[CHRIS B PINBALLS]

I have a good speaker panel that the buyer can have

More my wallet is stuck in the 90s !

 

[Durzel]

I’d be interested in the coin door if it ends up getting split.

 

[philpalmer]

I’m going to end the speculation of it getting smashed up right now. Not gonna happen.

Thank god it needs saved!

Shame I would have had the loom to weigh in down the scrap yard there must be £500 of through crimp metal in there !

 

[biglouieuk]

I'd like to take this on and fix it up...Bad timing with stuff to do on this Getaway...

 

[Vimtoman]

I think anyone taking this on at 3K is bonkers.

'we made one taf out of two and this is what’s left. All boards were just lying around here broken. Dmd hasn’t been touched or cpu and it looks nice. '


Slightly confused...... So DMD and cpu are ok? Other boards unknown / broken?

Like most I guess mate - it needs a lot of money throwing at it but hey it is a TAF !

 

[DRD]

Would be interesting to know how much money those old girls took during their working lives.

 

[steve brum]

I had a TAF with 23k on the audit.

 

[Durzel]

Curious as to the logic of removing the caps and bridge rectifiers from the Power Driver Board? Are they worth salvaging vs just using new (better) components?

 

[Big tone]

Put it out it’s misery and drop it in a skip!

3k is heavy money for a game in this state, but let's be absolutely realistic here - it would gain two grand with some care.

Whether it's two-grands-worth of care though... depends on who's doing it... and how much you're going to, um... 'restore' it if you follow.

 

[Spandangler]

It’s the going rate. I think I paid about that for mine in a similar state. In fact worse. No dmd, trashed playfield. Cabinet was nice though. The playfield is fine on this and with a tumbler and bowl full of soapy water everything will come up fine would just benefit from a cab redecal. It took months of restoration and a new pf and new dmd and loads of other stuff and I sold it for £5k. It’s by no means ready for the skip. It’s fine just needs the right person

Chris could fix that pf up good as new

To the uninitiated.....it looks like that ship has sailed ........and ended in Davy Jones locker

 

[philpalmer]

If the cabinet wasn’t knackered (and someone cut the loom) it would be a prime candidate for total rebuild.

And very nice it is too, it’s just had a mirror glass to replace that damaged translite.

 

[Spandangler]

Yeah that translite was nasty. Looking awesome there in that line up mate.

AndyB53 would make this the best TAF in the UK with a budget of £236. But he's away on holiday.

And I'd buy it...because I'm a Nob...

As said before mate, we've all been there, don't feel like a mug. These lowlifes specialise in it. Its sad really. Your Andy is the equivalent of my Welsh Colin TAF restorer (former holder of Pinball UK domain). **** happens.
