Bram Stokers Dracula Club....Welcome to the Carpathians

Looks like Little Shop of Games has them in stock.

Ok thanks guys! That's gives me two good options for getting that plastic.

Now does anyone know where to find the wiring harness for the magnet?

Might want to post a WTB thread for that one. I doubt you would find that at any Distributor.

Unfortunately none of those links are to anything in stock. Marco only lists the part number

The Coffin ramp of my BSD is very hard to complete.. Only a 100% perfect entry at full speed and the ball rushes through the ramp, though most of the times it stops around the corner beneath the coffin.
Already leveled the play field and checked the ramp can't be lowered on the left-hand side..

Is this just part of the game? Or is there something wrong causing the ball to slow down at the beginning of the ramp?

Does anyone have the settings for Drac to set it to 50p per play and 3 games for a £1 please?

Hi Jwv, you are probably missing the clear plastic on top of the ramp.
Contact JASONPAULBAUER and he will sort it out!

There are aome pictures in this thread.

Check the manual on ipdb

I have the manual, its set for 4 games for a £1.

Hi, I know which plastic you mean.. It's not missing though.. But maybe it is somehow slowing down the ball.. hard to 'debug' this issue, should film it to diagnose this..

At my BSD the "point of no return" for the Coffin ramp is at the yellow arrow, is this where it should be?
I read somewhere that getting around the first corner should be enough to get through the ramp. That would mean the ramp should be raised at the right side..

mine is about the same as yours.

Mine is about the same, maybe not quite as far. Are you sure you have the ramp/coffin posts installed correctly? They are 3 different sizes, all very close to each other. what kind of gap between the end of the lift ramp and entrance of the plastic ramp do you have?

Ok thanks..
Then the ramp is just "very hard" (for me ) to complete..

@aobrien5: thanks, will check the gap..

page 1-36 footnote 2 says to press enter to change that setting.

Cheers, i'll have a look tonight

The ramp should not be that hard to make. Check the posts as aobrien said, they often get installed in the wrong locations when someone strips the playfield. There's info on which length post goes where somewhere on pinside.

Are you sure it's not a flipper issue? If the flippers haven't been rebuilt lately I would start there.

Hi-res photos that also cover the right side of the ramp would help.

If anyone is interested , I bought 10 or 12 BSD coin door decal's at the Pin auction this past Saturday .

PM me if you'd like 1 on Yr BSD ... I sold a few at the Sale to BSD owner's .. They were Pleased !!

For the wiring harness you seek try contacting Jim Shird.

Checked that the ramp was installed correctly.

Performed an unorthodox method: I cleaned the balls and sprayed some "superflipp" on it.
Now the ramp is easy to make.. Think I need to clean/replace the rubber posts at the ramp entrance as the ball apparently lost a lot of speed there when it touched a post during a not-perfect-but-good-enough shot..

I'm in! there are right and left magnet errors, and right ramp has 'up' error, although both coil for up and down work and lock ramp up or down. any ideas? about to tear it down and go over all optos/switches.

I am tentatively selling my old one and picking up a different one this weekend. Making the drive up to Michigan to check it out. Big thing is the cabinet is in solid shape with no water damage, and with new decals in my closet, I think I could make this one shine.

There are a couple things I see to address already - new launch ball button to install, one bolt missing for the outlane/plastic on the left (right next to the left flipper), obviously I'll be applying new decals for the entire cabinet, and I have Bryan Kelly's new plastics ready to go, and a yellow target for the middle if necessary. SP pf (mine is LS), fully LED'd PF and translite, undercabinet lighting, powder coated hardware, and 100% mechanically and electrically working with all new PF optos. New DMD board as well, superbands on the flippers, and clear leg guards on the cabinet.

We'll see soon. I plan on going this Saturday to scope it out and possibly bring it home. If I do, I will be applying new cabinet art once my wife and I have our own home, and I have the space to do such a project. I also plan on sending my village, castle, and graveyard plastics out for painting if McClad or modfather ever PM me back .

I plan on keeping this BSD until I die - like - I'll be buried in this damn thing .

I don't know why this picture is so jacked up...

Is that the one up in bay city? I've never dealt with them, but have heard mixed reviews about them FWIW.

Thanks Black Rose for hooking me up with my alt cabinet decals! I like them much better then the original! I also have the Cointaker "afterburner" led's for the pop's, alt "Dracula" for the coffin, painted the plastic coffin with "stone" paint, custom led's for the GI and controlled lamps, "blue moon" mod (blue posts,pops, etc....) KEEPER FER sure!!

Down rite Beautiful Blenderhead ,, 1 day i'd like to add some Alt decal's to my BSD .. N due tyme !!

Anyone have some good pics of how the village connects? The one that came with mine was not connected and now I have a new one to install. I have the two tall standoffs but don't see how they connect unless it's with screws from underneath that plastic piece (which might be the case but want to make sure).

Yeah, the stand-offs screw directly to the plastic with a regular washer head machine screw.

cool, thanks!

Hey Gtown, Can you measure both standoffs and post in this thread? I am missing one on mine and thought I saw it mentioned but spent over an hour looking last weekend for the thread... Missing the one in the front.

Thanks,
Keith

The front one is 2.5 inches and the back one is 3.5.

Thank you Gtown.

I'm hoping you guys can confirm this for me. I have recently noticed on 3 different BSD's that about 70% of the time when you have your right hand flipper up, and if the trough coil fires to load a ball in the shooter lane, that flipper will go dead for a second. I will be using mine in a tournament soon and I want to be sure that this is a normal glitch in the software that we just have to live with. Thanks, Charlie

That doesn't sound right. Is your EOS switch adjusted properly?

Just saying, "70% of the time", would make it a glitch.

Yes everthing is working properly. Please check your machine before picking mine apart. I say this because it took me 9 years of having mine to see it. So please fire up a game and keep your right flipper up on your first ball drain and watch it as ball 2 loads and tell me what you see. I went to a freinds house after discovering this and his did it everytime in 2 games, but mine doesn't do it all the time.

Hmm. Interesting discovery. Just fired mine up and it does it every time also. Right flipper only like you said. What I also tested/noticed it that it DOES NOT do it when ball save (love never dies) is activated. If my ball drains I am not holding down the right flipper I guess (not implying that you do lolol).

If you knew everything was working properly, you wouldn't have asked the question. I'm just trying to help.

My first thought was a drained Mist ball which gets reloaded. I know I've held the flipper during that period and it has never happened. You weren't specific about when it happens, so don't assume I'm trying to insult you.

On a HOLY CRAP THAT WAS AWESOME note. I just started mist multiball but during my typical flailing of the flippers the stars aligned and I flipped both balls simultaneously, one on each flipper at the same time so that they crossed the playfield narrowly missing each other. One ball went up the left ramp and the other ball went up the right ramp at full speed crossing paths at the apex of each separate ramp and then returning to each flipper again perfectly in time with each other! Just thought it was pretty cool especially just by pure luck. I'm sure I couldn't do it again if I tried! Haha

I just started getting to know a pinball gooroo in my area who had recently shopped out a BSD and he had mentioned about how it has quite a few software glitches. Of course this was before I noticed this one.I will be seeing him soon and will get a rundown from him.

The cry baby part kicks in when it happens to you in a tournament as your trying to keep a good multiball going and you have your last ball saver ball kicking back into play as the live ball drains because the flipper dies at that perfect moment and you get to hear that lovely man laughing at you. This was my first time witnessing it happen. I was so in the moment of play and confused by it that it didn't really set in until it happened on my BSD a couple weeks later.

Yeah that would be a horrible time for it to happen! Now I can see how it's a relevant glitch.

lovin' this game right now, and I can't wait til' it's 100% dialed in

Tonight got the THHHHIIIIRRRTTTYYYY MILLIONS !! again ....
Such a rush stack multiball

BSD_Battlesuit.JPG

i love the vertically challenged drac topper!

I have officially retired from this club at this time. Traded my BSD for a JM - not even looking back now. I'll let the new owner reveal himself if he would like!

I'll get another one someday . I will definitely be back.

Finally got the Multi-Multi ball for the first time! However the feature lamp of the coffin multiball appeared to be broken, got confused because of that and lost the balls before I would hear a Thirrrty Million.. No high score..
Bummer!

Awesome! I still have not achieved all three multi balls yet! I get two MB's goin usually though haha. My mist multiball feature light is intermittent also. I can reach under the playfield and wiggle the harness and it comes on. Prolly a loose IDC connector I have to address one of these days.
