wondering what the ritchie mod is you spoke of? I own a WPT and think it is a great game.

Try googling for it. I think it involves removing several posts that reduce flow, as well as disabling some posts. Basically it's how Steve designed the game to play but Stern overruled him.

I didn't turn off the posts until last week, but that's supposed to be done as well. Once I did that, wow, it's such a great flowing game.

Close. First, remove the wire gate at the top left part of the orbit (2 screws, or hold the gate up with a wire tie). Second, disable flop and turn posts in software. That's it, but the game flows much better with these simple tweaks.

Great game, great price, better than most games selling for $4-5k these days. Incredible rule integration and strategy. GLWS!!

Neat.

I wish I would have seen this before I got rid of my WPT. Dunno if if would have led me to keep it- but it sure sounds like a gameplay improvement.

Let's not get carried away here. There are pleanty-a-Sterns that are much better than WPT, especially the 6K titles...

One thing that does confuse me though; folks seem to pay 4K+ for IJ4 and you can get a WPT for 2300? I don't get that at all. IJ4 isn't horrible but it certainly isn't as good as WPT. I doubt I would ever consider selling my WPT unless someone made me an offer I just couldn't pass up.

Unbelievable game. one of the most fun pins out there. put in some LED's, some white rubber and not only does it play well, but it looks great. (not sure who suggested never putting in the LED's in a previous post about WPT, but IMHO, it makes the game look a thousand times better!) also a must is to put the latest code in. will try the post removal thing but not sure it needs it.

I was just made aware that the OP is using my pictures of the results of a teardown I did to sell their machine. After finding this posted on Pinball Bash today, the OP removed them from Pinball Bash, but apparently doesn't feel the need to do so here. I am the one who did the full teardown and took these pictures, 2 YEARS AGO.

I do not approve the use of these pictures and I do not condone my name being used in conjunction to this sale.

lol, relax man. I'm not in front of my computer 24 hours a day. I did so now. I didn't know the "history" behind these pics. I thought they were taken by the previous owner I bought it from a few months ago. I'll take new ones today. The pics will show it's still in amazing condition and super clean.

Again, relax, it's just pinball man.

Also, no one is using your name (I don't even know what it is, or care).

#24 10 years ago

Pinside member

Yeah, I guess it's the theme, but personally I think poker works pretty good as a pin theme. The two ramps are probably the most satisfying ramp shots ever. I love how the ball flips to the habitrail on the left ramp, and the right ramp is so far away, it must be the furthest ramp shot in pinball.

Agreed, very difficult and satisfying ramp shots....left ramp is a b*tch to make...and the drop target combo bank shots are fun to do...just a great unsung pin imo

Yah, and it also jacks up the play. LEDs can't dim, WPT relies on dimming bulbs for progress indicators. SM as well as some others.

I gotta disagree with this one. Not plenty, and not much better than WPT. Maybe ACDC with updated rules, have not seen a MET yet, but WPT >> TF, XMen, Avengers IMO. Great shots, great depth, great rules, solid fast layout, killer modes, lotsa stacking..... I admit, I play it more than the LOTR or CV next to it, generally.

latest code and led's and it is the sweetest game! I got one at a very good price by taking a chance on buying without ever seeing it. One coil later and it plays great. thought i was going to fix it and trade it. now i know i will never let it go. IMHO, anything under 2500 is a great deal!

It's not a bad deal. If he was local, I'd take a look for sure. Shipping at $400+ though puts it out of my range.

I was going to make an offer, but he's firm on the price.

It'll sell, but WPT has never flown off the shelf.

Thanks to JJ @ Game Exchange, if you buy it without the bill acceptor, it will have a plate cover installed in it's place, so there isn't a big hole in the coin door. It's an original one from Stern, so it matches perfectly.
