HighTower Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I thought of selling a few pins that I've had in storage while I was working away...including my Drac, it has never been restored or had much love to be honest. The more I looked at it, the more I thought it needed to be kept and restored. So now it begins... Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighTower Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 So I got caught up creating some custom toys for other machines and only just got around to starting this resto. First Dracula I've done and still learning. So far so good, and the results are promising. Playfield under all the dirt is very nice, a few raised inserts and a couple of minor touch ups. Had this in storage for a while and seems to have nit been played in a long time but fully working. The dirt is caked on everything really thick. I'm having the polish every post, screw and metal object on the buffer or by hand. Taking absolutely ages but well worth it I say. The cabinet I'm leaving until last as the original artwork is in great shape and not faded. Got a spanking new coin door and shiny legs sitting here ready for it too. New plastics, new red posts, new pop bumper all going on this week along with a good playfield clean and wax. Just got a shipment from the States of a new set of ramps and decals hopefully going on later this week when I finish the playfield.

HighTower Posted April 1, 2018 Author Share Posted April 1, 2018 Before and After playfield restore. Really happy with how it's come up. Still a few odd small bits on order from the US but 99% done. New ramps all ready to put on today...can't wait to fire it up soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighTower Posted April 2, 2018 Author Share Posted April 2, 2018 Ironically 25 years to the day... another Dracula lives again!...new flippers, coils and dodgey or broken parts all replaced, playfield strip and polish, nut and bolt rebuild all done...now some new legs, and touch ups to the cabinet, few minor cosmetic touch ups and gameplay tweaks. Very happy I kept this one now instead of selling it as a project...lots of work but all worth it. Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
