Here
is the underside of the playfield. It has been sanded and clearcoated to
keep the muck out. Every part has been tumbled, been through the
ultrasonics, washed or a combination thereof. All the mechanisms were
disassembled, cleaned and reassembled. Dracula's gearbox was cleaned and
relubricated.The inside was sanded and sealed. Note the 8" speaker
and new speaker plate. Take a look at the cabinet inside. All
rebraided, this machine was stripped to bare wood everywhere except for
the playfield ink, the backbox lettering, and a few labels.. |
Here's
the machine in the dark. Best exposure I could get. |

White
rubbers and yellow post rubbers. I am determined to figure out where the
dirt comes from. A clue: my clearcoated playfield, after a few games,
has little smears on it. These wipe right off. The only thing that they
can be is RUBBER! |
Dracula
at home. |
All
the ball guides were regrained and refinished. No more ball marks. One
day, I may try putting on a high polish. |

The
dreaded kickout hole. Epoxy + clearcoat+ protector + Cliffy in reserve! |
Nice
reflections in the clearcoat. Thanks to Playfield Renovations. |
Here's
my new speaker. By the way, all the characters - except Dracula - are
original. Dracula was splitting in the back so I put in a substitute. |
The
backbox electronics. All finished in satin black - including the parts
that you cannot see. |
