I picked this BSD up on Good Friday from Facebook marketplace and have been enjoying playing it since. This apparently was a ex-Pinball Paradise serviced game some 8-10yrs ago when the previous owner purchased it.
When I bought it, it was missing some backbox GI lighting. Couple of transistors and that problem was solved. It also had mist ball issues. New long opto board from Homepin and it’s been rock solid since. I’ve literally just hammered it all spring/summer!
So its in good condition, but it’s long overdue a deep clean, re-rubber, etc. Someone must have waxed it with an orbital/electric polisher as there is residue flicked everywhere! It’s in every nook and cranny! So a topside tear down is the only way I’m going to clean it up properly.
This is my second ever time doing this (Fish Tales was done December 2020) and i didn’t document that on here, so thought I would give this Shop Log thread a go with Dracula this time

Here are some before and during photos of progress so far.
