If you own a WOZ, JJP is offering precut Mylar to affix to the areas around the HF pop bumper nest as well as the State Fair balloon popper.

Some early playfields have had issues with the artwork flaking off of the substrate. This failure can be sudden and can happen without showing any previous wear to the area. Failure is immediate.

To order the Mylar you should contact their service department.

This is not a thread to flame fires, it's sole purpose is to make sure everyone gets their games protected.

This is to warn WOZ owners about getting their games protected, let's keep it to that. Thanks.

well I tried.

Get a room.

Bump

A weekend and probably a lot of them went to Pintastic.

i wouldn't have posted if it wasn't. Jack posted about it on the JJP forums in the thread titled "I read in Pinside.." There was no specific thread made regarding the Mylar.

Thanks.

Thanks. I'm only trying to stop others from having the issue I had with my game.

Watching the art of your playfield flake off is a little disheartening.

^^^^
I'm not sure what you're talking about?

The playfields that have been noted to have issues are from a run of Bader playfields that were apparently used in earlier games.
JJP can confirm that your playfield is one of these by checking the serial number.

I'm working on it. If WOZ wasn't one of my favorites Id just chalk it up to a loss and throw it on the market, but I'm generally a long term owner and spend the time to get my games as nice as I can so I can play them for years without concern. Hope WOZ eventually becomes an example of the latter for all of those that own one.

The only way I know to confirm is to contact JJP support. It has been reported that it was a small batch affected. The chipping on edges of holes and the edge of the upper playfield is a different concern.

The specific issue the Mylar is addressing is art separating from the actual substrate of the playfield. Mine exhibited no wear before failure which is why being proactive is important IMO, but I can't speak for what will happen if the Mylar is removed down the road.

Do you have damage?

I agree with a lot of what you are saying and am frankly surprised by people that disagree with you.

WOZ was my first NIB game and the issues I have experienced with mine have made me really consider getting NIB again. The durability of these games, not just JJP but across a majority of manufacturers, is really in question IMO as we continue to see issue after issue out of the box. These games are expected to have a level of durability for commercial use and we are seeing failures in well maintained home environments. Home owners are being used as beta testers on software and hardware and it's that same owner that is kept out of the loop when known issues arise and are left to find out for themselves, often too late.

No worries, I feel your pain. It took about 7 months before I had my game working correctly.

Buddy, you are all class and why I will always look to you when buying or selling.
I do not make recommendations lightly but you are the first person I suggest my friends contact when looking for new games.

Thanks for looking out-

Sorry to hear you got the wrong parts. I certainly appreciate how frustrated you've been. When I was having issues with light boards I couldn't bear to read WOZ threads knowing that I had a beautiful brick in my game room. Hope you get it sorted and can finally enjoy the game, it really is a special machine.

That cling stuff apparently doesn't hold up so well around pops.

Does anyone know for certain if they have a Mirco playfield? How can you tell? Can someone take a pic under their apron? Thanks

Anyone know what thickness the Mylar is that was sent out?
