Hi all Dracula fiends...

I have just got hold of a BSD, but sadly it has a lamp matrix issue, where in single lamp mode test more than 1 lamp will light.

First off I have noticed that the lamp on the mist multiball magnet is missing a diode, so I guess this is as good a place to start by fitting one.

Could I ask someone who has a BSD please photo the lamp on the magnet so I know where the wires go and the way round the diode goes.

Once I have fitted it I will then see if the fault clears up.

Many thanks Dracula Dudes

Here you go;

There in Europe though, as am I, I just picked some up, and going to fit once I have Drac working...

Awesome job, thanks, I have now fitted the missing diode on that lamp.

Odd thing is since doing that I now have a switch matrix issue, the trough sw & right outlane sw don't work!!

If I meter the white wire from those switches I get nothing so there must be a break.

As if I take a wire and connect the white wire side of those switches down to the next switch in the chain the Mystery they then can be triggered.

Planning to see if I can find the break tonight, if not will run a wire to the Mystery sw.

I tend to go in under the playfield for those awkward lamps, just nut-driver the lamp off the underside and bingo.

Help needed please.

I have just noticed that My BSD is missing a post, at least I think it is.

Its on the left wire-ramp (above the mist multiball insert) which is fed via the right ramp, see photos.

Can anyone please let me know if there should be a post here and if so what I need to purchase? i.e. the size and type

Thanks

Does this flasher have a number in the test diags? As I can not appear to find the test for it.

Sadly the flasher is not working in game and I can not find a test for it.

thanks in advance

Is there a flasher in the graveyard?

I have one in there from the wood at the back but it does not work and I can not find it in the manual or the test menu.

Just wondering if this was a mod someone did to my machine years back.

Hi fellow BSD owners.

I'm having trouble with my auto launch it does not always hit the skill drop target, rather it hits the rubber just below it.

I'd say 34 times out of 10 it does this.

I have changed the coil, plunger and spring with no joy.

Any other suggestions?

I don't think so, can you please add a photo of the one you are talking about.

Thanks

Yes hitting dead centre (UK spelling ).

Yeah I figured replace the lot and its bound to fix the issue but sadly not.
Top flap appears OK I have watched the ball trajectory and it appears find just not 'strong' enough.
I'm going to slightly adjust the kicker to see if that helps.

OK I now see the plastic you pointed out.

Yep my machine has that in place.

Really at a loss as to why the machine does not hit the skill shot drop from ball launch.

Could I pop in a stronger coil?

I did a flipper rebuild and at the same time replaced the flipper coils with the correct coils.

But now I find the flippers too strong the right flipper shoots the ball round the ramp and its so fast it manages to bounce out of the ramp end and drains 50% of the time.

Any suggestions?

Just finished UV painting the grave stones.

Having issues with shots to the left ramp, I have rebuilt the flippers and installed new coils now they appear too strong!

As left ramp shots sometimes bounce out of the right return and fly anywhere... Drain usually!
Also when the diverter is trying to divert a left ramp shot to the castle on the right the ball jumps off the ball guide and onto the left ball guide and down to the village on the left, or off and back on to the playfield.

Any suggestions please.

Thanks I think mine is close to 7 so will have the change and see how it is after that.
