Thanks! That’s what I get for not taking pictures. Lol

Just bought a single side of a cabinet head. Is that close enough to join the club? Seriously though, I think it will be a cool piece of art for my gameroom: monsters, music, and pinball all in one piece.

love the green would go well with AFMR

Cute Pic! Like the stepper. We started our daughter that young too. It gets hard to compete with MineCraft now, but we will keep trying!

I am so addicted to this game, it has sucked me in!!

Great booster chair/step for the little one. Nicely done.

It's ALIIIIIIVE!!!
Finished this restore a few weeks ago but had the hardest time getting the pops to work.. Now just waiting on the special deep iron powdercoat legs/rails/lockbar

Done!! We kicked ass Saturday night and I came home way late and finished:

Powdercoating by Robertstone0407

Awesome work. The color is an iron with hints of black - looks incredible, just like the original Kenneth Strickfaden Frankenstein props looked. Super deep in person, and the texture makes it pop

Speaker panel is also metal, full replacement.
New plastics, new playfield, figures repainted beautifully by modfather (who was gracious enough to make a couple of changes after I saw the first set)

I got to play one of these recently for the first time and it is so much fun! I keep going back to the arcade it’s at because I can’t get enough! The one I’ve been playing has a pretty banged up playfield though. Curious, if I’m ever lucky enough to own one, what do these typically go for?

There are several in the market for $8500 or so. There is speculation it may be remade fairly soon, so the prices have lowered a bit (yes they were WAY higher before)

Nice work RDoyle! Looks awesome! Must have been a long time coming....

Thanks! Way out of my price range but maybe someday Your machine looks amazing!!

Thanks guys, it’s almost been 2 years! The rebuild took me 6 months for the playfield (cleared and fixed by Ron Kruzman) and the rebuild took me another 3 months, plus time for the powdercoat and the figures, at least a couple more weeks. And I’m happy to report the game is still fun as hell!!

Here are a couple more of the amazing looking PF. The clear is so thick (and super hard) it looks like glass.

Wow man, your machine looks so amazing!!!! Very good job.

What's the technique regarding the lock down bar. It looks like the red part is cut in?

It’s powdercoated - special technique by Robertstone0407 who does all my machines

It’s not cut in exactly but is really thick so you can feel the texture between the different colors. The red is about 1/16” lower if they makes sense.

I feel like this wire should be hidden more.. if I tuck the wire in more Frankenstein get stuck and bounces

Here is a pic of my game. There is a plastic that appears to be missing from your electrode tower. Also the wire in question is for Frank’s switches. It is attached to the top of his table with a plastic tie. The wire goes down through a hole in the pf. I checked mine while I had Frank standing and it was too tight. I had to free it up some so it wouldn’t slowely destroy the wires. Hope this helps.

Sunday Morning pinballin.. Good bye Monster Bash. (sold mine yesterday)
Looking forward to seeing what they do with the Remake!

Did a quick search on the thread and trying to figure out intermittent switches on the wolfman orbits. Both sides. Happens most often on the left. Most of the time not registering at all.

In test mode, switches register by ball and finger banging, but in play, only register intermittently and some plays, not at all. Also when testing it only registers the correct switch, it's not activating any others.

Any guesses as to what could cause this?

When you test with the ball, are you using your hand to throw the ball around, or are you launching it with the flipper? It took me a while to learn you actually need to shoot the ball, not just throw it around

Yes, during switch test I am using my hand to launch the ball, not the flippers. I will try with the flippers today.

Has anybody tried a PinSound on MB? Or any WPC95 game for that matter? I’m thinking about going stereo

Need a little help here. I found a disconnected red wire/white stripe underneath the playfield in the middle. It comes from a harness with another red/white next to it, same length. That one is connected to a flasher.

Next time someone is underneath, can they check to see if both of these are connected to the same lead on the socket? I assume so, but never assume, right?

Thanks.

Yes, both red wires with white stripe go to that flasher socket.

Absolutely the reason I love Pinside the most. Thank You!

Hey Justpin
Pinball Life is showing the Mummy Coffin plastic in stock. https://www.pinballlife.com/index.php?p=product&id=5179

Just worked on same problem on mine. Worked fine in test mode, not so good in gameplay.
I just replaced both switches (brand new). Got tired of trying to readjust. Seemes all good now.

Yeah those switches can really be a pain when they are intermittent. Sometimes you can just adjust the sensitivity and be fine. I found that my MM had one that was intermittently sticking made. That was really hard to track down. I finally found it a few days ago and all is good.

Picked this up a couple weeks ago, loving it!

Here’s a before and after, the LEDs it came with were not really to my taste (the before is the color bombed one).

Just gotta slap in some flipper fidelity speakers and she’ll be good to go.

Looks Awesome! Now is the time to snatch up those nice originals! You won't regret it!

I have played the existing remakes and they are very well made, but nothing beats an original! Add the LEDOCD board and Pinbits
Blackout or GIOCD, Flipper Fidelity and you are off to the races!!

Has anyone installed shaker in a Monster Bash? Like the one at Pinbits?

Hey guys, I’ve noticed recently that my Frank is going down very slowly at the beginning of Frank multiball ball.
When the multiball song sequence ends and the ball gets released to the right flipper, Frank still hasn’t dropped all the way down. Ay the end of the multi ball or on second chance he still seems to move slowly back up.
Could this be an issue with either the gears or the motor?
Do the motors start to fail or malfunction over time?
Everything works properly in tests as well.
All seems fine under the pf- with no loose wires and no dirt/gunk in the gears.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Isn’t there a spring involved too?

Have any cogs been broken on the gears?

Thanks for your response hlaj78. I checked and the spring & cogs are all good.

Lloyd had also sent a pm advising I re-seat the motor connector and add a bit of oil to the metal linkage parts. I did this and success!
Following which I ran a bunch of tests and Frank seems to be dropping down normally and much quicker.
Love this pin.

Better late than never.
I picked up an original Monster Bash today.
Playfield is extremely good.
I'll need to do a cabinet restoration at some point.

I'm curious about putting in a color display.
I like the look of the cartoonish look (solid colors) versus the original dots look.
Do all color DMDs do both?
Where should I buy one?

The best (only?) place to buy a colordmd is at colordmd.com

Yes it can do both the solid colours or dots, or big dots, etc. I prefer the look of the dmd in black & white but you can do the full colour thing too. Or choose blue/ red/ white/ etc.

On my right ramp, balls come round this bend, hit the edge of the other ramp and fly into pop bumpers.

Have done multiple ramp adjustments but no luck yet.

Can any owners check and see if this looks right?

Thanks

I'm about the join the club. I'm always a fan of the original rather than the remake even though the price I paid was similar to the remake classic. Any mod recommendations apart from color DMD?

I’m still shocked by this, but there just aren’t many mods for this game. I do highly recommend the Lermods trough light. Looks AMAZING. The blue colour LEDs look like w black light and light the bottom of the pf perfectly.

There is also a Wolfman action figure of the right scale that can be found on eBay.

I’ve been checking the Munsters mod thread as well, as there’s a lot of crossover there. The Frankenstein flasher covers in particular would look good..

Silly Old Elf side art (best side art ever made for any game in my opinion, although I also love the PowerBladez on my AFM).

TITAN Glow rubbers - perfect for the game.

Pinsound maybe, if you want the 'Monster Mash' song.
