Addam’s Family by Bally (High End Restoration) Pinball Machine The Pinball Machine was launched in 1992 and is the best-selling pinball machine ever made, amounting to over 20,000 units built and sold. It was manufactured by Midway, under the Bally name. It is based on the movie of the same name, and features genuine custom speech by the movie’s stars, Raul Julia and Anjelica Huston.

Why is the Addams Family one of the most sought after pinball machines?

There are a number of combining factors which made this game such a major hit when released, and why it is so sought after by collectors today.

At the time of the game’s release video arcade games were decling in popularity, due to the improving quality of home games systems. Whilst at the same time pinball had experienced a host of new technological breakthroughs, such as the dot matrix display screen which is housed in the backbox. This enabled animations top be added, better explaining game objectives, special modes, and high-scores.

The gameplay is what really got players hooked, with three “toys” which enhanced gamplay and added a “wow” factor for players and spectators:

• Thing – a hand that comes out of the the box at the top right hand side of the playfield, using a magnet to pick up the ball and then disappear again
• The Power – using under-playfield electromagnets when activated it would cuase the ball to move in a random manner, devaiting it’s course and sometimes flipping it in an entirely different direction.
• Thing Flips – Above the top left flipper was an optical sensor that at certain points in the game let the machine attempt to read the speed of the ball, and taking control of the flipper from the player hit a shot on the opposite side of the field. This is the first CPU controlled flipper in pinball history. The game’s ability to use missed shots to calibrate future attempts resulted in an automatic flip that was impressively accurate.

Warranty:

Home Use:

This pinball machine comes with a 1 year parts warranty. All parts that are faulty will be replaced. Often we can solve any problems over the phone and supply any necessary components for the customer to fit. If necessary our specialist repairer can visit your home to inspect and repair your machine on-site, but this would be chargeable. Please call us for a call-out quotation. If parts are required which are not carried at the time these will need to be ordered for you, and will sometimes need to be imported from the States – therefore, there can be a wait for the part to arrive. 

After our 1 year warranty has expired we will continue to offer you complete support for any problems you have, either over the phone or by email, and can provide a chargeable engineer call out should it be required. Whatever happens, we will be able to look after you and your pinball machine.
