I have an Old Dracula Pinball machine its has most of the parts.. I was going to refurb this one, but after seeing the VP cabs and seeing that the boards that it needs is about $500 I'm considering make a VP Cab. Now what to do with all the stuff that need to be Gutted. I asking if anybody needs these parts are may want to buy the whole Cab for a small sum(only if you're serious about restoring it)maybe could trade out an empty Cab for this one. I'm open for ideals.

500 for boards seems a little pricey. Do you have the original boards? Repairing them should be less than 300. I can get a combo board that would replace BOTH the MPU and the Driver board on my Flash machine, for $275.00. I can have both boards rebuilt for 250 or less.

I also would be interested in knowing where you are. I have a MAME cab that I just need to pick up and gut (old photo machine), Not sure if you are interested in that. But I am guessing you live nowhere close to me either.

I'm not sure if old stern boards are more expensive though. Personally...I'd rather keep the dracula over having a VP cab.

alot of the boards are there but one is missing and not sure which ones work or not, the plug on the missing board looks like it got real hot.. I have played with Arcade machines but realized that pinballs are a whole different world... not sure what an old photo machine looks like but if we are close enough we can swaps some pics

Unfortunately, I live in S.W. Oregon. (...frickin' end of the earth...)

If you decide to try to repair the pin instead of gutting it, there are many here that can help you find what you need at the best price. I would suggest posting some pics in the repair forum and ask for advice. Are you familiar with pinball/arcade repair at all?
