Quoted from Nytewatch33:Well i ended up buying a beautiful WoZ. Standard edition With shaker and invisa glass. Wife loves it and im enjoying learning the gameplay. Overall very happy with our decision. Thank you again for all of the advice
Woz is a fantastic game. A great first pin. Easy to learn, near impossible to master. Brutal at times, but fun and satisfying. Start reading rulesheets and enjoy your pin. Congrats!
Quoted from Nytewatch33:Yes it is a pre-owned WoZ standard edition with shaker and glass upgrade. I was able to take a used set of pinball legs (thank you Whthrs166!), cut them down 5", and had the foot welded back into place. Wire brushed and painted up the new legs, and swapped them out. It was interesting doing the swap and moving the pin by myself (thank you High Lift Jack - lol. I jacked up one side of the pin and then replaced the leg on that side like I was changing a tire on a car. Everything was padded, and I had emergency supports underneath in case the jack slipped) I even took the trouble to install a little felt between the new leg and the pin to make sure there was no scratching behind the legs)
The WoZ is now installed in the little alcove I had in mind for a pinball, and it fits perfectly! Everything seems to be working flawlessly, with the exception of the crystal ball every once in a while showing colorful "snow" instead of the image that is supposed to show up. Rebooting seems to clear this up.
Really super happy with it. Broke almost 600K points today, but have a lot to learn.
The crystal ball thing is pretty normal. Happens from time to time. If you lift the playfield and trace the wire to the CPU, you can try reseating the connection. Another thing I would check is that the connection to the crystal ball itself is hot glued. Early editions were just free lancing and could easily come slightly disconnected.
