I never thought I'd have one of these in my collection, but here it is, in all its glory:

Since those pics, I've added a Cliffy protector and a "Rock Me" launch button. I also have a set of Scared Stiff boney flippers, which I'll probably install tomorrow, and a plasma disk that Krajkerjak's going to mod for me (thanks, Joe!). I'm going to add the Pinball Life lasercut topper that's supposedly going to be released any day now. I'm going back and forth on LEDs, but will likely do it (along with the color change backbox mod that cointaker sells).

The PF is very clean, with just a bit of Drac Track wear. The mosh pit scoop had some wear as well, but the Cliffy covered that right up.

I had to sell my Addams Family in order to clear room/funds for this beast, but I have absolutely zero regrets now that it's said and done. Monster Bash has been my holiest of grails since I started collecting games back in 2003. I'm psyched!
 
Congratulations, sir. I'm completely jealous and can't wait to become totally awesome at this game!
 
Awesome David. I have a full set of the Burger King(?) universal monster figures and accessories from the 90s that I always thought would go well in or on this game somewhere.
 
Wonder why Cliffy hasn't made a Drac track protector....

I was just wondering that myself. I'd absolutely buy one.


Thanks for the congrats, everyone. There aren't many games in my collection that I can honestly say I'd never part with, but I think this is one of them.
 
A drac track bracket is available. It goes underneath and it helps "even out" the 2 sides so the ball doesn't smack into the taller side which creates the wear

I think Drac track's were really only prone to wear on games that didn't have the track bracket installed. The front of the track would sink, causing the game to skip and chip the back of the track. Mine didn't have the bracket - once I installed it, the track became even again....I touched up the wear -and there hasn't been any wear since I shopped it out...and I've been playing it a lot.
 
Interesting. Figured even with it eing even that ball roll would still tear that up pretty good.
 
Awesome pickup! Such a fun game with the best humor in pinball IMO. Once I get one back in my collection, it's never gonna leave!!

dude. bombz.



i've never even seen one of these pins and have never played one, virtual or real life. seems like a badass pin though. and the one you snagged looks like it's in AMAZING condition.

nice freakin' score.
 
Thanks again, everyone. The machine is in much better condition than I was expecting. I haven't had time to really enjoy it yet (been working crazy hours this week), but I plan to rack up several hours on it tomorrow.

It's aliiiiiiiiiiiive!

I appreciate it too Dave!!

The MB looks great! I'm glad it looks mint and a good transaction was made overall!!

Took the mylar off TAF, looks so nice! I'll send you a pic.

Enjoy that MB!! It'll be on my list for a while...
