Bram Stoker's Dracula
Williams, 1993Been on a break but getting back into this now. Also working on a shooter lane mod. Will hide the ramp drop. Based on the BSD horse/carridge and blue flame scene. Fire with infinity mirror and drac peering up from the depths.

Already on the coffin mod list, add me to this one as well. In addition following if anything else comes up 
Nice work, excited to see this come together! We talked about this on IN BEFORE THE LOCK yesterday, here's the link (jumps straight to the convo) https://www.youtube.com/live/y9PE2EDV4CQ?si=zx3vH_3QipMQxF7R&t=3071
Waiting on a few parts for the coffin but things still progressing design wise.
Shooter lane mod getting there. Infinity mirror not far off. Few design tweaks needed for clearance.
Dracula Cross with sword in the works. Planning to have it interactive so the sword impails itself into the cross then the centre glows red. Perhaps if all 3 multiballs are triggered.

Great stuff so far!
Ron having a chat with the lads...
My wife and I think the one on the left looks best.I'm already on the list for the coffin mod and will probably get the shooter lane mod once I can see the finished product.Great work !

Cheers. Yes I like that one aswell although they were just a quick airbrush to check some colors i had. I may get then professionally done but a gothic/bloody/grey look would be nice.
Away for a few weeks but should have a few smaller ideas finished up shortly after.

Just a thought but maybe offer an unpainted Drac version as well for those who have a little artistic talent with the airbrush.

Done! Happy to provide that to those that want it and save on any cost with having these sprayed up.
My focus is on making a mod that has a robust design and quality parts that will last. PLC, Servos etc. I will be adding printed spares of any parts that are custom subject to wear i.e. servo horn , couplings etc.
I bought an awesome mod on another machine a few years back but found the cheap servos and poor 3d print design and infill and overall quality gave it a short lifespan.
Quoted from RGarriott:Id like to be on the list for both also. Thank you.
Added. Thanks.
Things still progressing. Design and hardware change to the coffin door pivot. Should last the lifetime of the pin. Will have pics in a few weeks for those interested.
Would be interested to know how many here have the IEC service plug currently wired up for their machine or run a dedicated power supply for mods.
Will be offering the coffin as a standalone mod (2 servos) utilising less than 2A from existing power available but have plans for all mods (town, castle, coffin, graveyard, shooter) to all be interactive (via 1 larger PLC) so I'll be setting up a power supply (that does not require modification to the a cab) to run all the motors lights and servos in these designs.

Awesome cannot wait, thank you.

Is it possible your Dracula would fit (or could be made to fit) in the original coffin to replace Ron?
It could be possible to shape somthing up thats hollow like Ron in a transparent resin then airbrush. Although seeing it would be hard with the tinted coffin lid and the dimensions of drac would have to be warped like Ronwith his legs missing.
I'm super happy with the current mod im working on but it is probably going to be way to over the top and pricey for most so if there is a demand for a simple ron swap out style I'm happy to have a go at it after this project. I would say a partial tear down and re-design from the grey tomb would be the way to go.
Gothic Prototype is coming along well. Verified the clearance today on the final design, and there is enough wiggle room for any slight variance in glass height between machines. Added a sensor for lightening flash as each ball is ejected. Had a gothic headstone as the ball flap but may go with a a few hanging chains as the ball runs much faster in the scoop design.
Have 3 servos in this one as I'm hoping to squeeze in 2 more surprises to the final design.
All hardware, handles, chains, pivots etc are correctly fastened. This coffin is being built to last.

Working on coffin support that flows into ramp archways on the right hand side. This project is still atleast 3-6 months off.
20240330_215113 (resized).jpgQuoted from PinCrush:Amazing stuff. Add me to the list, please.
Added. Thanks
Quoted from hAbO:Any ballpark price range you are thinking of charging? Looks amazing!
Fair question but I don't have a number yet.
The original idea was in the $350 - $450 ballpark.
Quoted from truemagoo102:Ok, add me to the list. This all looks pretty sweet.
No worries
Things still happening. Coffin design close to finishing up. Coding will be next. PLC was a bit too restrictive so moving to a proper programable setup.
Looking to add a 4 position switch so you can choose to have;
Mod Off - Normal lighting behaviour like current
Mod 1 - active every coffin multiball
Mod 2 - only active when castle, coffin and mist all activated.
Service Mode - coffin open and drac raised while selected. You will need to be in this mode to install.
