Game - for sale

For sale: Bram Stoker's Dracula

Added: 2018-11-12 18:43:44 UTC • Ended: November 15th, 2018
Condition: Partially restored (almost original)

Price

$ 5,900

Gorgeous, rare unfaded BSD for sale which I've partially restored and upgraded with LED OCD and Pinsound. Nicest one I've ever seen. Been enjoying it all year, but I regularly cycle my games so its time to find this one it its next forever home. Most nice BSDs get bolted to the ground in collections as keepers- so keep that in mind. Game plays 100% with no errors. Not interested in trades at this time. Prefer a local sale, but for shipping, we would follow Vid's sellers guide for payment arrangements and ship via STI.

Here are the highlights:
-Alternate Translite
-Blood red translucent flipper buttons
-Blood red flippers
-Chrome Vinyl instruction cards- imported from Spain
-Chrome rails, legs, and lockdown bar- along with black leg protectors
-Chrome hinges with black powder
-No wrinkling around the cab protectors
-New ramp flaps
-Full moon rising effect on rebuilt pop bumpers- blue caps, comet rings, blue skirts
-New clear plastics
-Rebuilt flippers
-Remote battery holder
-Target decal set
-Outer ramp decal
-Upgraded mist board, installed
-Full cliffy set, installed
-LED strips under each major scoop
-LED OCD
-Pinsound
-Prototype slingshot plastics
-Full Cointaker LED kit

Cabinet- 9+ out of 10 condition- no fade/screen printed version
Playfield- 9+ out of 10 condition- coveted SP playfield- no planking
Ramps- 9+ out of 10 condition- no cracks

Pictured here are a number of removable options- available separately. I think the entire package is awesome and shouldn't be parted out- but I also realize that mods aren't to everyone's taste.

Optional Upgrades:
Laseriffic Topper $200
Color DMD $370
Pinball Customs Coffin Mod $175
Pinstadium with Neon Glow+Invisi-shield $280 [buyer did not buy]

So, basically $6500 all in. Wowzers.

BSD is definitely one of the best. I've had a few. Would own it again in a heartbeat.

Yeah, I know. If I could strip it down further for the value crowd I would, it was my choice to go with Chrome, Pinsound etc etc- but hopefully it finds another owner who'd do it the same too, given the chance.

Both the original track and the movie inspired soundtrack are on the flash drive the Pinsound board uses. Easy to switch on the fly from the coin door

Full disclosure first- I own a bsd.....now, By adding pinsound and color dmd this game more than any other is transformed into something truly awesome. Check you tube for Dracula pinsound, even there it doesn’t do it justice. I heard it in person at expo and was blown away. Worth every penny.

The seller found a buyer, and thats awesome. I wouldn't say the market is on fire because of this one sale. I have noticed the market softening a bit overall actually.

Yeah I would agree that it is soft for certain games (can't give away a Houdini - in fact newer games having a hard time) BUT older games in great shape I feel like have a very good market.

Seems right. New game values almost always seem to plunge these days, and I'll add a wrinkle- the A- list Bally Williams older titlr market has been pretty effectively disrupted by Chicago Gaming.

On the other hand, if you want an older "B+/B list" title in mint or minty shape, the supply on the market seems pretty thin and many times your only option to get a nice game may be to commission a restore.

It's still technically sale pending. Got another interested should buyer unexpectedly back out.

Ministry of Pinball is where I got the translite.

I am not comfortable to sell a game as HUO without an original factory receipt - but in my view its about as nice as it comes without a full restore.

Or it could have been originally intended to go abroad and customer cancelled order last minute. Doubt the factory would double back after build. No way to conclusively know, on this one.

The sticker inside the cabinet will tell you if it was a reimport or not. From the looks of the transformer connector being spliced into for some reason i would say reimport..

Maybe the playfield isn't original and was replaced? I didn't think many of these went directly into homes from the factory.

Decals could have been replaced too.

Would like to see the wiring behind the dmd to see if it's condition matches the rest of the game.

Kind of irrelevant since it's sale pending, but it is interesting to try to piece together a game's history.

Overall, a nice game that I'm sure the buyer will be happy with.

Maybe, but a very deep rabbit hole and welk above my abilities to diagnose. Never advertised home use only. Prefer not opening the door to conspiracy theories.

Where would it end..every nice game's a possible redecal and playfield swap without a receipt.. seems incredible unlikely on a B+ title and I see no signs on either count but hey anything's possible

I don't know about other BSD owners - I just can't imagine letting this classic pin slip out of my collection. I know "never say never," (and I'd sell if I had to for reasons outside of my control), but when you look at pinball these days, there's a really distinct delineation happening between pins that are truly collectable based on their uniqueness, natural age, and representation of an era... and those that are currently being manufactured, many of which are being manufactured in ways to force collectability.

Man, BSD just ticks off so many true collectability boxes, not to mention its a killer game.

Still have another in line but original buyer backed out- feel free to reach out if interested.

Buyer's expectation was that this game was 10/10- I think he misunderstood my ad.
Did not want to disappoint him, so we mutually agreed to part ways.

As stated in ad, this game is a 9+ all around.
I think the new owner will be very happy if their expectations are awesomeness.

For me its a mixed emotion decision to sell it- no question.
Can't tell you how many times I flip/flopped about even wanting to sell it in my mind.
In the end- decided that if someone else would love it at least as much as I have,
Going all in- as I have- then it should go to that home.
Till then, it should stay.
