I was helping a buddy move over Xmas time, and we stopped in to a little hole in the wall Mexican joint for lunch one of the days. While grabbing a beer, and some food, I noticed they had a tiny little game room off in the corner. I didn't expect much, but thought I'd take a look. Lo and behold, there was a (pretty nice) TAF. Haven't seen one in the wild since they were out, and it was amazing to me that it

A) Worked
B) Was clean
C) Was at some little hole in the wall Mexican restaurant.

How does a place like this even have one of these? Pretty cool.

Anyway, here's a pic.

Oh, and in case anyone cared, this place was on Hwy 76 on the way out to Pala Casino between Bonsall and Fallbrook.

one yellow flipper and the other white.....thats fun !

Relax - I'm sure it at least had the Williams logo on it - geeeeeeez

Jow - sweet dude. There was over 20,000 of those machines made. I'm amazed how many I can find still on route considering the collectors but up a bunch of em. Glad you liked it - probably my next purchase.

Yeah, it was fun to play for sure. The play field was really nice (and wasn't dirty either) still, too. Not a lot of wear. I'm guessing if it started its life here, it hasn't been played a whole lot (considering).

I would love to have one.
 
Great game, I just spent 6 hours on it over the weekend, Toured the Mansion twice.

Quite a find out in the middle of nowhere, looks like it's in decent shape also. Mine needed a lot of work, was dragged all over small town Saskatchewan for years.
 
Love TAF. Unfortunately mine is in a million pieces right now.

PF is out, stripped, getting professionally touched up (in surprisingly good shape already) and clearcoated.
Just bought new cabinet decals today.
Just bought all new switches, plastics, flippers, pop bumpers.

I still want to buy new legs, a new topper, and need to flame polish my ramp.
 
I played one game, and came no where close...

One game? Seriously .... one game? And you liked it that much that you would like to have one? If only stern could produce results like that lol.

I will own one - just need to get off my ass and buy one.

It was fun as shite, and Ive always been an Addams fan (show, movies, etc). I would own one, for sure.
 
In a pinball thread? ;)

Eh, I didn't look to see what kind of thread it was. A lot of time I just open up all the newly updated threads without even looking at what category they are. I still don't know all of the pinball acronyms....
