![]() ![]() This limited edition table sold out on the day of its release, which is part of the reason that they are now so hard to come by. Bally decided to produce a special run of just 1000 machines, each with a numbered metal plaque on the front of the cabinet, and these differ from the original production run in a number of significant ways. The real Addams Family ‘Gold’ machine, which is also known as ‘The Addams Family Special Collectors Edition’ is something quite different, and this is the table that we’re proud to offer here, having carried out an exhaustive refurbishment at our workshop. The only defining feature of these tables is that they were the tail end of the production run. Once the production run had broken the previous sales record for a pinball machine, which was held by the Bally Eight Ball with 20,230 units, all the subsequent Addams Family pinball tables were produced with gold cabinets. So what makes the ‘Gold’ Edition so special? We should start by explaining that a certain amount of confusion was caused by the fact that there are in fact two ‘gold’ machines. Such was the success of the TV series that it later spawned a spin off movie. Although considered by many to be mere ‘light entertainment’, this motley group was in fact conceived by Addams as a satirical inversion of the ideal American family - an eccentric wealthy clan who delight in the macabre and remain blissfully ignorant of the fact that other people find them bizarre or frightening. Even diehard fans of the series might be surprised to learn that Morticia, Uncle Fester, The Thing et al first debuted as long ago as 1938, in a New Yorker cartoon strip by one Charles Addams. ![]() Continued abuse of our services will cause your IP address to be blocked indefinitely.When they created this machine in 1994 Bally set out to produce the definitive version of what is generally acknowledged to be the best pinball of all time, and boy did they deliver! This commemorative edition pulls out all the stops with a celebration of the table they first developed in 1991 and delivered to marketplace in 1992.Īnyone over 40 needs no introduction to the cult TV series that was The Addams Family but for the uninitiated it’s worth mentioning that this American horror/comedy, which featured a dysfunctional and only vaguely humanoid group of misfits residing in a gothic mansion, was one of the biggest hits of the 1960’s.
