Hi gang
Can’t quite believe I’m typing this. Anyone who has been following will know I’ve spent hundreds and hundreds of hours since March bringing back to life a sorry TAF.
Bought from Chris B in February for £3.5k, I got more than I bargained for when I took on the job. The bills added up to waaaaaaay more than the asking price but looking for £5950 obo.
In short it has a remarkably good original screen printed cab. Very little damage or scrapes on the cab and some grazes on the backbox which have been touched in. A couple of smal drill holes filled on the front next to the coindoor.
Read the shop log here for the full rundown.

It’s had a Chris Platt restored playfield installed
New main ramp
All 4 flippers rebuilt
Pops rebuilt including bodies, skirts etc..
Loads of new switches etc..
New dmd (colourised pinball sp)
Acid damage led cpu repaired
Driver board repaired and 5v rebuilt for bulletproofing
Sound board will be repaired before sale (currently missing the click clicks in the theme tune!! ?)
All done by @myPinballs a few hundred pounds spent I can tell ya.
Sideblades, thing box, ramp decals, backboard decal and bookcase decal installed
Comet leds throughout
Nice shiney legs
Every target replaced,
Every opto replaced
Titan glow in the dark runners installed
Lots more I can’t remember right now. Best off giving me a ring for the full run down and any questions. Pm me for details.
The biggest let down is the translite which has some spillage on the rear which shows through a bit. But it’s liveable and I’m sure the new owner will source a better one.
Now this TAF is.not a mint restoration. It’s also no players machine. It certainly sits closer to the mint resto than the player.
I’d like to cover most of my costs and have enough to purchase a TOTAN.
Reason for sale. I saw Chris b’s TOTAN and I can’t stop thinking about it. TAF was a grail for me but having played the hell out of it for the last couple of weeks, I’m comparing it a lot in rules and gameplay to Funhouse, which I already own. I’d rather have a TAF than a FH but the sale of the FH won’t fund a TOTAN.
Here’s a couple of pics but can send loads on request.
Machine can be played and viewed in Ipswich. Machine. Would need to be collected and paid for in cash ideally.
I know @Vimtoman man was looking for one and I have sent him a message regarding this so he has first refusal until I hear from him (within reason 24hrs)
Shoot me a pm for details.
