Aurora, IL
Had a ruby red for about a year now.
Issues out of the box:
Witch shaft was rubbing on optos...easy fix, bent opto bracket into correct place
Witch plate not registering hits....easy fix, adjusted position of switches to make it more sensitive.
Coil stops coming loose on flipper assemblies and falling off....i check these frequently still, i have one that comes loose a bunch, considering lock tight
Lights were acting odd, traced it to a loose connector, no issues since
Woz is a fun game, it does have a lot going on, but im kind of bored of it now. Its all about stacking, so to score big, you need to coordinate your modes. I like to go for the witch hurry ups and rainbow targets, and emerald city multi ball seems to get lit by itself since the switches are in the middle of the plaiyfield. Then when i have the witch lit for fireball frenzy, ill lock my last ball for emerald city and start that. Once that goes, a ball usually ends up in the crystal ball which either turns all the lights on, all of the off, makes the flippers not be able to be held, and in turn doubles scoring. Ill try and get fireball frenzy going with my multiball, which is insanely hard when all the lights r off. Its super hard to spin the house as well with a multiball going without dumping all your balls. Ive only done that a few times.
My high score is 800k or something like that. Im on 3 ball on factory software settings with all my outlanes at their easiest setting. Its a great novelty, and a marvel of engineering, im just kind of bored with it. Ive done everything but some where over the rainbow, and at this point i dont really care if i do. This machine is borrowed so it will be gone soon. I cant wait for the lawlor jjp machine so they can do some wacky stuff with the screen and technology instead of being handcuffed by a license.
My rating would be 7.5/10
