Looks like this is going to be going on eBay....
Probably make 4k on eBay! Would love a go but in reality the spend needed on top of the 3k would probably take it to the value of a decent working example! Never mind the time involved.
A mate of mine bagged one on ebay with a new playfied for 4,4k, but 2 years ago
A few fuzzy pics and a 'probably just a fuse" description and you'll be quids in!
it will be interesting to see what it makes on eBay
The words "BARN FIND" in uppercase are known to add £1000 to any eBay sale. Drew Pritchard will be up there with a TV crew to collect.
I don't want to insult an expert like @philpalmer , but I think that adding "used to work" to the description would be particularly helpful info for any potential eBay buyer.

How would you address the fact the loom has been chopped? Thats a red line for me in terms of "high end restorations"....
Which is why I bought this second taf just to swap the f ing loom off it!!!!!!
Now thats quality!
Oh I can't reveal magic secrets like that, but it's possible
That must have been a lot of work swapping the loom. Hats off to you sir.
So what's the craic, is it getting broken up? Dumped on eBay? Or price reduced?

No, it really isnt. You cannot ever get it to not be a repaired loom.Oh I can't reveal magic secrets like that, but it's possible
20 mins work.
Will probably put some working boards in it and put on ebay....
Here is how I see the loom repaired from hardest to easiest
1 trace each wire and replace it one at a time (ouch!)
2 use molex male and female plugs (viable)
3 Hard solder the wires and use heatshrink tubing, use a longer piece of the black tubing to cover it!
I would take this on, Phil is not ripping anyone off here, probably just looking to recoup some of his outlay buying the 2 pins.

Edit I have a set of boards but wpc89 of the top of my head not sure if same!

The new pcb for Addams was the original FlipTronic board (its only use), though there's also a small pcb top right in the back box for AIR "extra flipper power supply"
As to the wire harness, maybe some colour-coding fan could use single colour wiring throughout, as suggested in another strand recently

I will let this go for £2500 - MINUS the CPU/DMD and I'll swap coin door for 3 slot mechanical door
Or I'll get it working with a new set of boards from another taf for £3500....
