How is the color on the slings I just bought a set of sling plastic off ebay and the color is terrible. They are like a very pale blue, more grey. Are the ones from Marco a nice blue that matches?

Here is my new compared to original

Yeah that will teach me for using eBay, better than broken but not by much, I guess I'll give Marco a try they look better.

Classic Arcades is the seller I got them from, do not recommend. I ordered them months ago but just got started on the project, if it wasn't so long ago I would be trying to get my money back.

Does anyone know where I can get the wire for the right side magnet gate? Does anyone know the actual measurements for it and the correct gauge of wire?

They were out of stock on the wire for the right gate but they had the assembly that is the wire and the bracket in stock so I ordered that. They sent me the right bracket and the left wire. Super frustrating as I only order from them as a last resort. To go to the entire hassle of ordering from them as a Canadian and end up with two parts I don't need and not get the one thing I do. Now I ordered their wire bending kit it costs more money. I have to go through the whole hassle again and then try and make the part myself.

If anyone has a BSD apart and can snap a few pics of the wire next to a ruler I would really appreciate it. Even better is if anyone has an extra shoot me a PM.

Would love that shooter button art if your willing to share or sell. Pin looks amazing!!

I did and it plays great but I'm not very hardcore about scoring, I don't take it very serious so for me its much more enjoyable with regular flippers. It just feels way more natural. Especially going from machine to machine. Having different flippers on one of my machines made the first few games on or off it feel like a waste of time.

Here is how mine looks. It’s never jumped over.

Maybe a weak spring on the coil and the ball rolls fast enough to push it down. Maybe just try and stretch it out a bit to make it stiffer.

This spring right here

I have mine all cleaned up and back together, really loving this pin.
This is how I got her:

New decals with the better image, you lose an little on the bottom but my corners still lined up real nice. My cabinet was in pretty bad shape, the front was completely separated and just nailed back together. I'll probable grab the tombstone but hoping I might be able to go in on with a couple people to save on shipping. The new Dracula is beautiful but personally I think its too nice for the rest of the pin so I'll just keep the hedgehog, it's kinda classic.

I think you looking at the pictures in reverse She did clean up well but not immaculate. Kinda a mid level restore.

Oh I didn’t get it, thought it was just a typo.

It's real easy to just use a 12V LED strip. I initially had a cool white in mine but switched it to red. I would just use a strip and save the time and effort, it looks way better as well. I have a color DMD in mine but did not tap into the 24 Opto that seems weird.

I just took the socket from a 555 LED and wired the strip into it and plugged it into the board. I think you can just wire a strip right into the plug that normally goes into the board.

From the post above I should have done that I never thought to do two.

P.S. One other thing, when I did a 12v white strip it kinda blinked on and off, I used a RGB strip just soldered to the red it kinda fades and matches the voice better, I recommend that you use a dimmable strip.

I think you need to detail what you mean by mist assembly, there are a lot of parts that make mist work. If your talking everything above and below the playfield my guess is it's unobtainable. If you have everything and you looking to sell you probable have a lot more luck breaking it up then try and sell the whole thing as one. I can't imagine anyone needing everything unless they are trying to add it to hobby machine or something.

These are what I used sorry don't know the original author to give him credit.

Moving the insert for the moon and adding the wolf is such a nice touch, don't suppose you sell that mod in colour?

I would love to buy the decal in colour or just pay you for the art and print it myself. Is the decal transparent with the wolf on it or did you cut out a spot for the insert and add the wolf to the insert. It's a genius mod always annoyed me that the inset is tucked in behind the way it is. Did you use the original insert or buy one?

She looks good in black, I’ve been tempted to do this to mine but the purist in me just can’t pull the trigger. Those red wire forms are sweet too.

Mine is also a reimport and has the exact same wire in the same spot so it seems correct.

Does anyone know how to trigger this scene? It occurs during multiball or possible stacked multiball. The carriage goes across the screen and lightning flashes. I'm trying to fix a possible bug in the coloring but this scene is super hard to make occur. I can only get it when I have a really great game and would love to be able to see it with the glass off.
Thanks

You right it was the target bank, then every sling or pop triggers the lightning. You saved me a lot of time really appreciate it, thanks.

How did I not know this, thanks for the info.

Mine has the Sun Process playfield and it looks great but those inserts are slightly darker. I have to admit I never noticed it, yours looks good by comparison. The camera is exaggerating how dark they are. I would check which playfield the one your interested in has. They can plank pretty bad, also check up where the ball lands off the shooter ramp they can be damaged up there as well.

I’m not in the US but I have a set. They are kinda off color. I guess some playfields are lighter grey and some more blue. I eventually found a set that matched better so you can have them for the cost to ship. Regular mail is probably not enough to even bother with the transfer but if you want to pay for tracking we can figure it out.

You may need to trim the black border a little.

I decided to update those images so here are the new ones the correct size to print One has red titles I did all the text but it was a illegible were it overlapped the girl.

First I do have regular size flippers on my machine but I finally managed to stack all three multiballs and crack a billion. Man I love this game.

You haven't really been a member of the club until you have to deal with opto issues. I love this pin but man that system did not age well.

If I could find a kit with the posts and plastics combined I would probably buy them. They just don't matter enough to me to make multiple orders. I guess to be honest I don't get the hype. People act like they are this weird rare item but it's probably more rare not to have them these days.

This would be pointless it would look red.

I was going to hold the original up in front of my clear one with color but I don't know where it ended up. You could probably cut the red section out. As long as uses a nice straight edge and maybe a dremel, it would probably come out ok. Way easier to just drop the $100 and grab a clear panel from ebay.

Mine has decals but they are very well done I thought it was printed at first but when you hit it with some direct light you can see the edges. My guess is people think it's printed but they are all decals.

I did not sure how well you can see in these pics. In person the blue is way more subtle it just gives it a bit of depth. I original had more LEDs but they over saturated it so I went with incandescent with the browns and reds in the bottom half.

My general rule is cool white with blues, warm with red, orange and yellow. Since BSD has both Sunlight is the correct answer.

I totally did not catch that.

I don’t think they are as glossy as the radcals but there is a set out there with the art touched up. The wolf looks so much better. You can still the pin next in the line up. It’s no Dialed In though.

When I did mine I recall that post being too tall. I ended up changing it one that was shorter so it lined up better.

I find balls a big factor as well, when I restored mine I put in the super shiny high gloss balls. They magnetized so quick and it really increased how often the balls swapped or got stuck together. Changed back to the less shiny but more magnet friendly balls and have way less issues.

My poor data plan

The orange pops with clear is super interesting, not sure if I hate it or I love it. Can't wait to see how you light it.

I honestly thought these are everywhere, I see why you are having trouble it's weird that everyone is out of stock.

I am a little biased but ColorDMD on BSD is really good and worth the additional effort. There are tutorials around to use a cleaning product to remove the red from the panel, it will save you some money but takes more time.

Lot's of people prefer things stock nothing wrong with that. I don't like the coffin mod, it looks great but it looks kinda too good for the rest of the pin. The hedgehog is just kinda classic. I love the alternate backglass and ColorDMD, the choice of colors just matches perfectly for me. That is what is so great of having pins at home do them up as little or as much as you like.

I played a lot of wolf modes when I was doing some minor fixes in the coloring for ColorDMD. My guess is its not true but I never actually counted to see how many I did in a row. I did play a crazy amount of them when testing though.

The original color was awesome. There is just so much randomness in pinball there are situations that a frame will appear white. A frame being the blink on eye. I’m just kinda OCD and once I see that uncolored frame I see it every time. I just went through and cleaned up a bunch of little issues. There was one mode when you are in castle multi ball and hit every target a carriage rolls across the screen. That scene was uncolored in certain cases. Almost all the updates were areas that are very rarely seen or transitions between modes. Another one was if you enable low volume in the menu than reduce the volume less than eight the volume control would be uncolored. The blood drip on the score display is very random so rarely with really big or really small scores and just the right drip of blood it might blink white. Entering your initials could rarely be uncolored. In general there should be no noticeable change.

I did hunt through every last nook and cranny of the display so I thought I would have found the scene if it existed.

I used flex LEDs so the shine up and exactly where I want.

If it’s from BSD it could be 12v meant for the Love Never Dies flashers.

BSD is super well done and I completely agree it just feels like it was meant to be in color. Team LED all the way.

There is middle ground on subs, I have a couple of the Polk subs and they are basically just above straight from China knock off stuff. That being said they work just fine in a pin with a standard sound card. I just search for used subs there are so many available that are way better quality and very inexpensive. You could get 5-10 subs that sound great for $1000, online marketplaces are full of home theater speakers. Dropping a G on sub for a pin is insanity.
