Each "Gold" machine includes a certificate signed by the members of the design team and a gold plate on the lower right front of the machine containing the machine number. These machines had many more Gold accents, such as the metal ramps, gold legs and bolts, gold lettering, the vault plastic, the bumper caps and Thing's box. Then, in 1994, The Addams Family was put back in production with a special run of 'Gold Edition' machines to further commemorate this machine becoming the best selling flipper game of all time. The legs, metal trim, and lockdown bar are not gold. Included in this listing are pictures of one such example of this "Later Production" version having the mixed gold and blue. At least their lower cabinets were gold, even if their backboxes were still made in blue. This change caused a number of games made subsequent in this original run to also have gold cabinets. Designer Pat Lawlor wanted to commemorate the actual record-breaking game from the production line and arranged to have it made in a gold cabinet. This game broke all previous sales records for flipper games. One earlier form of "auto-flipping" appears on Williams' 1953 'Palisades'. 'The Addams Family' has a flipper that not only is controlled by the player's flipper button but also is caused by the game programming to flip at certain points in game play. Upper right playfield has "Thing", a large plastic hand that comes out if its box to magnetically pick up the ball and take it below the playfield.Īctual measured weight: 255 lbs (includes legs). Magnets under the lower playfield activate as "The Power", an earned feature during play to affect ball movement. Bookcase, when active, rotates to reveal a lock hole. First ever optical target bank (in the bookcase). One of the four flippers doubles as a game-controlled mini-flipper.
