I have one, but it would break up the true Wow collection.
Would take a special trade to let it go..

Quoted from DK:

What’s the true WOW collection consist of?

I'm not sure if there's an official name for these Wedge Heads, but I call them true
AAB (Add-a-Ball) Wow machines. These are the (I thought 7, but now I'm counting
only 6) machines where the ball count goes up to 5, and through an addition backbox
stepper, gives Wows in the backglass for additional balls. First being Bank Shot, then
Ship Ahoy, Team One, Lucky Hand, Neptune, and Rock Star being the last..
I do have suspicion that 1975 Tiger (produced only for Italy), may be a true Wow
machine which would make it the very first. I've had an eye out for that one.. (T)

Quoted from Mitch:

IS astro a true AAB?

Astro is absolutely AAB, but not a true Wow AAB (or whatever officially it may be called).
All Wedge Head AABs (that I know of, minus the true Wow AABs), ball count go up to 10
on the backglass. The true AAB Wow machines can possibly have 10 balls to play (but very
unlikely), but 5 of them would be Wows lit on the backglass..

Quoted from DK:

Do you know if all 6 also have novelty modes?

I've shopped out all but a Rock Star and set them all on AAB, so I can't say 100%, but I very
much have to think so. The only one I presently have set up is Lucky Hand. Someday I plan on
having the space to have the 6 lined up together..

Just making sure I wasn't the one having the possibilities of deceiving..
