Quoted from Rdoyle1978:To the right of the right ramp
Thanks! That’s what I get for not taking pictures. Lol
Quoted from pacman11:Alright where does this piece go?
Inside the curve on the Frankenstein ramp. (so northeast of frank table)
Quoted from ypurchn:Starting them out young...
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!
Quoted from ypurchn:Starting them out young...
Great booster chair/step for the little one. Nicely done.
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)

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.

Quoted from BioBa: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.
Quoted from pacman11:feel like this wire should be hidden more.. if I tuck the wire in more Frankenstein get stuck
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.
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.
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.
Monster Bash disconnected red white wire (resized).jpgQuoted from freegame450:Yes, both red wires with white stripe go to that flasher socket.
Absolutely the reason I love Pinside the most. Thank You!
Quoted from Justpin:Dear monsterbash clubmembers,
Does anybody have idea where I can buy this mummy coffin, or does somebody has a spare coffin that he wants to sell?
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.
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.

Blackout or GIOCD, Flipper Fidelity and you are off to the races!!
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.
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.
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).
