Found it! Bram Stokers Dracula 🧛‍♂️

[Dave Playman]

I’m looking for my next pin and want to put the feelers out for a BSD.

Looking to see if anyone has one they are thinking of moving on now, or in the near future.

Must be fully working and in good clean condition please. Ideally not a faded cabinet but would consider if the rest of it is really nice.

I’m not looking for a half finished project / or fixer upper. Basically a nice players game and upwards please.

Thanks!

Great choice of machine

Thanks, I have been deliberating over Dracula and T2, and as much as I love the idea of a T2; i think a Dracula would last longer in my small collection.

BSD has some buggy code things go on and is a bit tempremental too...

 

[jagman]

had mine for 20 years now, a great game when you`re in the zone but can be brutal when you`re not

Amazing game. Mine will never be leaving. The difficulty is what makes it endlessly fun to play. They can be a nightmare to fix when they go wrong though.

Good choice, one of the best games of the nineties, way better than T2 in my opinion.

Mine’s been pretty reliable in the 5 years I’ve owned it, I’m not aware of any bugs in the code?

Am I right to assume it’s the mist multi ball that’s a problem to fix? Or something else?

thanks. Yeah I was seriously considering T2 but having thought about it and read advice from others, I’m worried it won’t last long. I love the Dracula theme too. I’m a big horror fan so the theme sits well with me.

I wish I could tell you the answer but I still haven't quite fixed mine yet (mainly due to lack of time). Its to do with the way it counts balls and loads them into the Mist area. It's a much more complex machine than it appears at first glance. The diagnostics aren't that helpful either.

Interesting
Is this a common problem with this game? Any thing else I should look out for when buying? I’ve heard this table is prone to planking, and LEDs affecting the mist opto’s.
Thanks for the advice so far.

30 MILLION!

All the tinkering is worth it when you get the callout!

Yes there were two different manufacturers of the playfields. One is prone to planking and is the most common. Its labelled under the metal apron that holds the ruleset cards, either LS or SP. SP (Sun Process) is the more desirable. Mine is LS (Lenc Smith) and is absolutely fine though. Look out for Credit Dots as an indicator of potential problems (although not necessarily always true).

GREAT game! Hope you find one Dave.

That’s sound advice! Thanks for that I didn’t know those differences

There’s a recent home brew competition ROM patch on VP Universe:

———
Revision L-2C (revision L-1 patch)

The ball saver is paused on pop bumper action.

The Mystery awards a fixed 500K points.

Adjustment A.1 26, Tournament play, defaults to Yes.

Adjustment A.1 28, Min vol. override, defaults to Yes.



Comment

The ball saver adjustment is unchanged. Range Off - 15 sec with 2 sec default.

Just so you’re aware.
