Managed to get over to my Dad's today to begin the process of selling off some of my stored games. First up is my Stern Dracula from 1979 which is a pretty rare game in the UK and designed by Harry Williams. It's in decent players condition following work I did on it a couple of years ago but with one major issue that still needs resolving so this could be an interesting project for someone. I didn't do a full shop log on this one but you can see some of the progress in the below thread posts:
The game is fully working except for the sound board which is dead. It's a pretty basic board (SB-100) so you could get it repaired (or do it yourself) but bear in mind that even when working it only outputs 3 electronic tones and bridges the gap between EM chimes and the more complex noises that came in around 1980. What I was thinking but never got round to was either to retro fit a chime box (this has been done by others) or look at some sort of MP3 Trigger/RPi solution to give it proper music and spooky sounds effects
On a more positive note, every other board in the game including all of the displays and the transformer board are new replacements which totals over £750 worth of boards alone!
The backglass has had touch ups by a previous owner and you can also see the typical speckling in the blue of Draculas clothes. I also touched up some of the plastics as part of my work (as well as the playfield) and the red has faded to orange but still works with the overall artwork of the game. All of the pics below were taken today and the game has barely been played since I did the work on it in 2020 so if you're looking for an interesting and uncommon game that shoots well and has some project opportunities with a cool theme then give me a shout
Have a look at the pics but bear in mind that if you're looking for a minter then this isn't the game for you. The price is£1600 £1500 £1400 £1200 and happy to provide more info or pics as requested.
