Something may be broken or loose. Take a nice high resolution photo of the dangling metal piece and post it in this thread and I am certain that you will get the help that you desire from this group.

No, it’s not supposed to be that loose. The switch might be broken. The middle leaf is the control leaf, and should be much more rigid. If there are screws through the leaf spacers, you should be able to tighten those. If it’s a rivet, it might be busted.

I would start a separate repair thread though, you will get more people chiming in that way and won’t use up real estate here. Just post the link here so we know where it’s at.

And like Gord said, when you start a separate thread, post pictures in there.

It looks like there have been a few coffin mods produced off and on over the last few years. From what I have been able to gather, it appears that we are in the middle of an "off" period.

Am I mistaken? Are any of the folks that have produced them in the past getting ready for another run?

To me, Ron Jeremy really breaks the mood of an otherwise creepy playfield, the sooner I can replace him the better.

Thanks!

I dont know of any currently available unless you happen to find someone who doesnt want theirs anymore.

Ok thanks guys. it looks like the switch might not be adjusted correctly. there is a screw at the bottom of the switch assembly that appears to adjust how far the reset assembly moves. I love this game but I may soon be sharing a cell with renfield.

ColorDMD is a mod worth its investment. You'll get 75% back of your price if you ever sell as people nearly always pin $300-$350 onto their asking price, and people pay it happily because it looks the part and enhances the game.

$500??? Why so much? For me, LCD version w/shipping is about $419, and the LED w/shipping is $385. How are you getting hit for $500??

I'm pretty sure you need a new speaker panel with a clear window, since the red doesn't come from a gel overlay, but is dyed into the plastic. That's about a hundred bucks, plus the 400 or so for the actual color DMD panel.

That's my understanding anyway. It wouldn't be the first time I've been wrong, and I'd actually be quite happy to hear that I'm off-base on this one.

Cool, thanks. I'll keep my eyes open and my 3D printer warm.

LOL - you're right. I totally forgot, and I've done that install at least 2 times. Yeesh. I scare me sometimes.

As I like to say: "We've all been there, and we're all going back".

Hi Guys

I have 4 people wanting one so will order the 5 today. There is 1 left for anyone else.
cheers from oz

I'll trade the last speaker panel for a tombstone cover mod if anyone is interested?

Don't forget about the new speaker panel adding $100 which was my point of the post.

okay, who's selling me their BSD? i'm running out of patience.

lol. i have plenty of room now...

Anyone want some seriously cool swag for their BSD room? I'm putting for sale my framed Vance Kelly BSD variant art. Sold out. Asking $250 plus actual price shipping to wherever it's new home is.

Pretty sweet! Not kid friendly enough for me though.

Ok the run of five custom panels is now booked up. I'll let you know if anyone pulls out.

New member thanks to a fellow pinsider!

That is highly cool!

yeah, i didn't instantly hate it, like most alts. not too bad.

The oranges and reds in the original are just way too much. For me, anyways. Not to mention the bizarro photoshopped old man Dracula.

As the cabinet is mostly blue and black, the grays work much better to tie the pin together in my opinion.

Just added a Cointaker LED strip to uniform the Dracula lighting in the backbox. The lighting is fairly uniform now. See before/after comparison.

I actually like that alt translite which I never seem to...I like the grays and red lit up nicely like that. Kudos cheshirefilms

Just picked up a cheap re-import BSD project that's in surprisingly good shape, but needs a major shop job and a few issues fixed. Also I'll do a few upgrades, what do people think are the must-dos? It has the original yellow zipper flippers, I'll probably replace those with red Williams flippers when I rebuild the flippers. Definitely doing color DMD, do people prefer LED or LCD for this game? Thanks!

Blood red flippers, prototype plastics for the slings. The rest is preference but you can take bsd very deep..

Joined the club a few weeks ago, stellar game very glad I was able to find one in nice condition.
A few things I did was under the moon on the playfield blue LED gives a great effect. Moon in back board also blue LED instead of green, looks like a real moon.
Removed prototype slings and picture plastics on pop bumpers added light over top of graveyard. Went with cool white LEDs near flippers, blue at top of game and red pops and under castle.
Incandescent bulbs on Dracs tombstone.

You must be the first person to remove the prototype slings !
See your BSD came with the tombstone mod which is a plus!

Anyone looking to leave the club. PM me. I am looking for a dingy, dirty machine with some wear. Posting add soon.
Let my nice one go and now lookng for another.

Playfield looks good, but don’t you think that’s a bit too much red in the backbox? The red is drowning out the translite artwork. Just my take.

Boy, you make this too easy. Too much red huh?

Red like the color your ass is going to be when I eventually make my way over to your house and obliterate the high score on your game. I’m going to enter “RED” as my initials.

Everytime the up/down post on the ramp goes down it makes a horrible buzzing sound. anyone have a clue how to fix it?

yeah I need to work on the backbox lighting it is a bit to red, I usually take out most of the lights because I find them to be too bright.

People say this game isn't for kids...blah blah. My 5 year-old daughter must've played 15 games in a row last night. I couldn't get her off the damn game. It's awesome that when she has a choice and I tell her she can turn one on...she goes to Drac.

That buzz is normal. You can try cleaning/tightening it but I wouldn't expect much difference.

I thought I recognized her from somewhere.

Repro playfields are available. Mirco.

Any tips for changing out to the blood red flippers? I got a set since I've only played with the lightning so far and wanted to try them out. Tough to get in there to even loosen the hex key. So many components and wiring in that area. Is there some kind of trick or is that you have to remove the entire flipper assembly? I'm kinda new to pinball so never worked on flippers before.

You can do it, just gotta find the right angle. Moving the flipper with your hand will give you different angles.

Decided to reuse the frame elsewhere and just sell the art. Asking only $100 shipped now within the US. #6/50 and signed by Vance Kelly

Hi Guys pickup and posting today. 90us delivered. One guy has pulled out so there is a spare.

I finally dug the prototype sling plastics out of the coinbox. For you ballers that have them installed, did you use hex extenders?

Did you remove the original plastics and just use the protos alone? Or use both?

There's a parts list in this thread somewhere. You leave the existing plastics.

i think i used 3/4" spacers, but it was a little tight on the left side around the wireform ramp return. 1" would probably be perfect.
