Glad your initial experience with WOZ was a positive one despite a few problems. Interesting that I've never heard mention of the ball getting stuck in that place before, wonder if it's just a simple flipper mis-alignment issue on this particular machine?

I'm betting its a machine leveling problem as in the machine has a lean to the right or is set at such a small slope that the game plays floaty like some older EM's do. Check to see if the leg levelers are raised in the back and lowered in the front.

Id agree with dg and grav. I've never seen a ball get stuck there. Either out of level or the flipper needs a bit of adjustment to go higher on travel.

Great feedback on the machine. I agree with others about the machine being out of level. I've played several different WOZ machines, dozens of games on one and have never seen a ball get stuck behind the upper left flipper.

I've seen guys at Ltg's be really aggressive with the machine and they didn't trigger the tilt. I thought ltg even said there was no tilt?

There's definitely a tilt. The one at Moosejaw was set pretty tight when we were there.

$1 to play?!?!?! See this is why arcades are dying or died. Many games cost $1 or more to play and you can easily spend $20 in less than a half and hour when you have kids around. Sega's Gameworks and Dave and Busters games are way overpriced. Sure there are people that can easily spend $50 and that's ok for them. It's definitely not stopping people to put money on the cards and go.

Even so it seems as though in WoOZ the balls can stay in play longer than most tables from what i've seen on videos. I haven't played one yet so I can't judge. Even if I find one here in the Phoenix area, I'm reluctant to put $1 to play the table.

The machine costs nearkly 8k, I think $1 is fair.

It could be worse! You could feed $20 bucks into one of those grapple machines in 5 minutes trying to win your kid a 50 cent stuffed animal... Wouldn't you rather play pinball with the little rug rats

The $1 doesn't bother me.... Hell, popcorn and a soda at the movies costs $12-13,,..

The fact that the proprietor wouldn't refund your money on a malfunction DOES bug the shit out of me though....

That wireform doesn't quite look right. Was the ball resting against the end of the wire? Or is that just a reflection from the ball? If someone that has a game could take a look to see if that is normal and what is up with it.

I was looking at mine & that one has what looks to be too long ends on the wire form. Must be a prototype.

Yeah, the metalwork doesn't look to be production.

Yeah now that I look at it. I don't know what that metal looking bracket is. May be a proto as others have said or some type of operator fix? Not sure.

The biff bar behind the flipper appears to be missing. Maybe the operator did a fix to keep the ball from falling off the upper playfield.

Possibly? I've never had mine fall off before?

Odd. I went back to some photos as old as May 2012 and I don't see that metal piece in any of them. However I could've sworn I've seen it before - must have been in video of this particular pin.

But no, I can see the bar. It's still there. But it does look maybe like it's hung up between the bar and the flared end of the wireform.

I played the WOZ at two separate locations and didn't see the game have any problems at an expo I went to and the glass wasn't off once..the ball occassionly got gently hung up at the lower left outlanes on a piece of metal edge. the game was amazing in all aspects , lighting , backglass , artwork , quality , and technology ( update via USB ) , better sound , innovative..etc the quality of the build is exceptional, the amount of toys , flippers , upper playfields ,it is the same price point as sterns LE versions that lack in quality and attention to detail . This game is the future of pinball displayed for all to appreciate..... with all of that , a buck for that game seems like a bargain , would you feel better if it was 75cents and you kept plunking in quarters and asking the bar tender for more quarters to play,,,get with the times, quarters and tokens are so yesterday , that badboy takes credit cards.......wozzzuupp

I meant that maybe it never had a bar installed and the operator did something to make do.
Just speculating.

The magnet above the right flipper probably has not been programmed fully yet.

I think the upper right flipper on the lower playfield will primarily be used for various witch battles which haven't been programmed into the game fully. The magnet should setup the shot similar to how it is done in Rollergames and Elvis. The only thing the flipper is really useful for currently is the skill shot or for holding up to collect the HOADC collect, but hopefully it will become much more useful in time..

Must be a prototype.
