Probably wrong place to post, but since everyone here has a BSD, thought I’d ask. I just got one a week ago. Having never played it before, I don’t know how it’s supposed to play as far as flow goes.
My question is, when the ball travels down the right side of the playfield, is the game set up to bounce the ball back to the left by hitting the metal piece just below the mist ball, or should it travel smoothly down to the right flipper?

I have other questions as well pertaining to the shooter lane ramp getting stuck up sometimes, and the right ramp seemingly rejecting my ball at times, but will start with this one. Those are probably more for technical question forum..
anyway here’s a pic of the metal I’m talking about where the ball hits when rolling back down. Is this normal?

Thanks bud. I was one of those guys asking!
Mine is missing over the right Ramp transition and Causing right ramp rejects. Here’s a snapshot of where it hit In the last slow motion video I took. Other times it smacks the wire form.

Finally own a BSD! Had it going on 2 weeks now. I took a chance having never played it, but only seeing it a couple years ago at an auction. My only experience with it, was on my iPad(pinball arcade), and watching videos of others play it on YouTube. Even on the iPad, it kept pulling me back for one more try. For about 3 years now it’s been on my list. Had one pop up last Fall, about 20 mins from my house and it slipped through my fingers. I didn’t have the money, and the guy wasn’t looking to trade at the time. It was such a let down. It was around Halloween and it was the perfect time to finally get it! Just wasn’t in the cards at the time though. It was crazy to obsess about owning a game I’ve never actually played in person...right? Fast forward to a late May, early June(just in time for my birthday) One popped up close by, and it wasn’t going to happen again. I had 2 pins to trade or sell quick if I had too, and kind of had the money to buy it, if need be. If all went well, either way, I was bringing it home. Turns out it was a cash only deal. You know how it is spending a chunk of cash. No matter if you have the money or not, sometimes you feel guilty dropping that much, and before even driving 4 hours to get it back home, I kind of felt guilty(but not enough to miss out hahaha) I just had a gut feeling I couldn’t miss out on this pin again. Only owning it a few days, now I can see why! Everything I’ve ever heard about the pin is so true. Brutal, challenging, rewarding, Fast, Fun, and some of the best sounds in any pin I’ve played. Loving it! The creepy mood it brings. Nice to have something this fun and different in my very small line up. Proud to be part of the club!

Thanks my friend. I actually had never seen the movie. Hard to believe, huh? I just watched it on YouTube last week. I need to do it justice and find the blu ray. It was so blurry on YouTube, that I couldn’t get into it. I was waiting on the quality to get better. It was like streaming Netflix when it’s buffering just enough for the picture to go grainy, but never clearing up. Haha. I turned it off about 30 mins left, and before seeing the ending. I wanted to give it a better chance before my final thoughts on it. Without spoiling it, Does it ever actually show a tomb/coffin? I know the pin is loosely based on the movie, but I’m trying to decide which tombstone cover to get for my pin. Mine is missing.
I know their are different custom versions, but wasn’t sure if the movie showed an actual headstone that was close to any of the Custom versions floating out there. I like the ones that fit to the original piece Morpheus did, where it looks like it came that way. It’s expensive because of shipping, but am leaning towards purchasing that version.

Awesome thanks for the input davebart5!
I have seen all those you mentioned and yes they are all awesome. That’s why I was having a hard time deciding. Figured I’d try to make it close to the movie if possible, but sounds like at this point it’s just a preference as they all look great!

Mine is hard to lock too. I got my lock bar from Terry at pinball life as well. I lean on my lock bar with my right hand and tap the locking lever over with my left hand. If I try forcing the lever with my left hand it doesn’t move, so tapping it makes it easier.

Got my repro plastics today from fabUnlimited! No more right ramp rejects!
I have a couple questions for those who have these plastics. Does the corner of your coffin dig into the right ramp one? Mine sure is. I wonder if the metal under my coffin is a little off or bent possibly? Well at least no more ugly black 3d printed scrap up over that coffin lock. Haha. Other question. Do I have the shooter plastic in correct? Lol

Can anybody else with this plastic Tell me if your coffin is pressing down on it? If so I’ll just slap it in and be done. As it is, seems like the coffin isn’t able to go down far enough for the glass to clear the top of the tombstone, because it’s pressing on this plastic. I’m about to just cut the bottom half off as it doesn’t do anything anyway. Hahaha.

Hey guys. I was about to play a round and noticed my right shooter lane ramp wouldn’t lift on start up. Looked under the playfield and the plastic broke coming from the coil. Do you have to replace that entire piece? It looks like it comes as one piece on Marco’s, but is out of stock.
Added a pic of the part. It broke on the plastic and the Little pin fell out. Now my ramp won’t lift

May try that. Having trouble locating the part right now. Do you know what would cause it to break like that? Is it common for parts like that to break, or maybe I had it out of adjustment, perhaps?

Hello again blood suckers!
Still only owning BSD for a few months, I’m discovering more and more things that were left off from previous owner(s)
Today was looking for some screws to put in the back of the upper ball guide that were left out. Well I decided since I didn’t have a size small enough I’d just order some, if I can figure out what type to order. While I was back there I got to thinking my backboard sure looks like it’s leaning. Now I’m wondering am I missing something to secure it? As it looks, there is nothing, but hopefully I’m wrong. I did notice a place where something wasn’t put back under the plastics house in the top right. I don’t know what the functionality of that piece would be though. I grabbed some pictures from the shop out photos on here. The first few are of my machine, showing the gap between my back panel and the upper right silhouette plastic before and after I pull on it. The 3rd pic showing the missing screws through the middle of the ball guide up the video lane. The 4th is showing my game missing a piece and the 5th one with the playfield apart is from pinside shop pics to show the piece I’m missing. Just a white post with a screw in it?
Anybody know the screw size I can order from Marco or somewhere for that guide? Anybody else have a leaning backboard panel? Is there a way to straighten it up?

Haha. Well do you have the part number on that spring? I’ll check Marcos! Hahaha.
All joking aside though, does your backboard panel attach to the the playfield any other way besides the rails that go underneath? If I remember correctly when I had it out, that was the only thing that hooked the 2 (back panel and playfiled) together on mine. Seems like something else would pull the back panel forward to close the gap I’m getting. I know it’s got to be something very obvious, but this is my first time owning BSD, and I find missing stuff every time I go back in to add an LED or fix a switch. Maybe it’s made that way and I need to bend the metal rails forward. Haha I dunno.
