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. |
