Hey just got my bsd yesterday and I need a left ramp. Is anybody making them thanks for the help

best of luck finding a ramp, let us know if you find a stash of new ones around

Price check for a nice example with a clean, unfaded cabinet and no errors?

It's been years since I owned a BSD, back when they were $1200-$1500. I know those days are long gone.

I'd definitely be down for this...pm sent!

OK

Here's a teardown photo of the gate. Might have one more post-shop...

Awesome job! How much?

I just brought home a BSD, and the first issue I noticed is the playfield glass is touching the top of the tombstone cross. It drags along the top edge when I slide the glass in & out, and I'm afraid it could get snapped off. Also, it's causing the sticker on top of the tombstone to peel back.

Is anyone else having this issue?

Any ideas for an easy fix?

hi nor cal, are you talking about the metal tombstone behind the coffin? if so there is a screw on top that needs to be tightened. joe

Crash,

Did this solve the long opto problems? I get 1.1 volts at the emitter and 12 volts at the receiver. Ordered new optos but may beed to cap the 24 opto board if that is the issue.

Looks like the lead singer of GWAR

Thanks, Joe! That screw on the top piece did need tightening, but the glass is still dragging the front piece of the tombstone. You know, the cross-shaped one with the lamps. Is it possible to lower that thing?

Well we recapped the board but it got to where it didn't notice the switch closure tested with a good receiver. I found someone who sold theirs, hope that does it.

It's possible that this is related to the earlier post about the hex post sizes. There are three hex posts supporting the back of the coffin and the adjacent ramp. They are all different lengths but only by a few millimeters. If they've been put back in the wrong places it can lead to the glass touching the top of the coffin tombstone.

I'm sure it's been covered before, but I need help with Mist problems. I get a "Magnet unload" error on startup and then eratic Mistball during play, with magnet crossing the playfield several times. Sometimes the magnet holds the ball, sometimes not. Both gates operating correctly. I'm new to this, so could do with some step by step guidance. Maybe Opto related. Multi meter at the ready.

Thanks in advance.

Anyone have a BSD for sale in Michigan? PM me..

hi norcal, on mine the tombstone is behind the cross with lights not on top. are the screws for the cross tight?is the front of the coffin lose? g.l. joe

Solenoid dust!!

Run the magnet test through the coin door service buttons and let us know what errors you get.

On first pressing of the Test button, I get Magnet unload error. Then on Test 15 - Magnet, it fails the first test. Magnet Unload Error. It then seems to run through all the other tests OK.

I have one near you, but there's no topper.

can i suggest a mod?

Go into the switch matrix test and then look at the switch matrix table in your manual (or download from ipdb.com). Test all optos and make sure they are working properly.

Tom. I've tried every test I can find. All optos seem OK, except 82, which is the long beam opto. This is permanently closed and nothing happens when you block its path. Voltage at transmitter is 0.9v, where the manual says it should be 1.4v. I'm a bit out of my depth now but pressing on. I can't see how you can line up the receiver and transmitter. When running the magnet tests, there sould be a dotted line showing the path on the display. This doesn't appear.
What confuses me as well, is when the game is running, the ball travels across the pf very well. If you don't hit it, it drops into the opposite gate perfectly.

This article may help you.

How long are the posts for the proto slings? I bought 2" and they are too long the 1" I had laying around are too short on the left side...

hey just got mine a few months ago, awesome game, keep getting a check mystery hole switch 58 error on test, any ideas?

Can someone take a picture of the right side near the Mist gate with the castle removed? Specifically I'd like to know what the left side of the gate looks like, what kind of post is there? I assume there is some sort of spacer attached to it to attach to the castle? Mine is missing whatever spacer is supposed to be there, and only has a screw with a rubber post sleeve on it, nothing else, and nothing attached to the castle, so it's very loose with only the lower screw holding it together.

So this popper is too long. I put the broken one beside it and marked the length. Th.en I cut it with a hacksaw. Works perfect.

Well, I was having intermittent issues with the mist multiball. It seemed to work fine after the machine was on a while. I replaced both the emitter and the receiver and now something is wrong. The magnet goes back and forth constantly as it thinks a ball is stuck on the magnet since the long opto is screwy. I did actually see that the emitter is working via the camera test. I get 7 volts at the emitter now and about 13.5 at the receiver. I can't get the remote to trigger the receiver in test mode but when I put a meter on the receiver I can see a 1 volt drop when I sent a tv remote signal to it. Any ideas? New board?

I would check the alignment of the long beam opto emitter before anything else - the manual suggests it should be adjusted towards the front of the game and if its not the receiver may not be picking it up

Yes, but how do you adjust it? It sits in a slot and cannot be moved either way. I think I may be missing something here.

Yea. Rides in that slot with very little adjustability.

And that's why I figured adjustability wouldn't be a problem.

I ordered the Homepin opto board last night to hopefully solve my problems. I will let you guys know when it comes in. (From Austrailia)

If you don't have one of these already, they are very handy in checking out whether the emitter is working or not...or you can use some digital cameras.

This is an example, there are other cards available and probably at a cheaper price. Not sure where I got mine. Just wanted to let people know they exist.

On my BSD it seems to act weird and I am not sure this is normal.

On the 3rd ball I get "consolation" mist multiball-
The problem is that when I drain the first ball- it ends the game.(there is still one ball in play)
This only happens on ball 3 with the "consolation" mist.
Any other time mist works correctly(drain first ball and continue to play)
Is this normal?
I hope my description makes sense.
Thanks in advance.

It seems to me that everybody and his dog has got Dracula mist problems and rarely get them sorted. Terryb's article helps to point in the right direction but is a little complicated. Like Jodester, I have ordered a new Aussie opto card, plus a set of emitter and receiver optos. Whole table is in bits now, will have to wait until new parts arrive then have another go.

No...

Robert

I used to get the "magnet upload" error on my BSD. Couldn't figure it out, because the game worked perfectly.

Then one day I took out the batteries to change them, and then forgot and turned off and unplugged the game to move it.

When I put in new batteries, plugged it in and restarted the game, it went into a factory reset.

Never had that error message again after that.

To those that get that error and the machine seems to be working OK, maybe a factory reset will help; of course you lose all of your scores and settings.

Robert

I have no errors and the mist/magnet test works flawlessly.

------It only happens on "consolation" mist. (3rd ball)-----

Mist always works perfectly any other time. If I have previously got mist multiball then get it again on ball 3 it works correctly.
I have watched the above vid and my machine seems mechanically correct.
Any other thoughts/opinions.
Thanks again

Perhaps a weird bug? Are you running the latest CPU ROM?

not sure about the ROM
I think mine is L-1..... does that sound right?

handy site

If you haven't already, run the *magnet test* and watch the display for errors. Especially between ball movements, when the flashers go off. The magnet test is the last test under the test menu. Also, in *switch test*, roll a ball over your trough switches to make sure they are all working properly.

That's the only revision for BSD. It has some minor bugs, but not what you are seeing. Last resort, try a hard factory reset by pulling the batteries and unplugging the game for 5 minutes.

Just finished the project! It's going straight back to location, where it was back in 2011 only in a dirty half-working state.

I got a bit carried away when replacing parts and cleaning my BSD. My record keeping wasn't as good as it should have been and my memory is poor as well. I have these parts which I'm not sure where they go. I'm sure someone can help a novice. Many thanks in advance.
