Anyone in the SF-Bay / Sacramento / Central Valley area looking to sell their WCS?

My wife and I have moved to a large enough place that we have enough room for a machine of our own! It's rough not being able to shop around at shows, as it seems they won't be happening for the foreseeable future. We've been looking at ads online, but it's hard to pull the trigger on something that we both haven't played. We know that we would love a WCS though. I can promise that it would go to a loving and caring home!

Wow, that's quite a lot! Good memory!

I've recently had the problem that if there's a hard square hit into there, it's get stuck until the lost ball sequence knocks it loose. Hopefully someone here will chime in with a potential fix.

Hello @lkonecki!

Yes, the ticket settings are related to a physical ticket dispenser that could be attached to the machine. It seems that this was not at all a popular addition, and there are not many of them around

My understanding of the auto % replay value is the same as yours.

At the risk of someone finding it sacrilegious: Has anyone replaced (or considered replacing) the rollover targets with the classic "star" rollover buttons? How hard would it be to do as a reversible modification?

I know that the hard-edged buttons and their effect on the movement of the ball are just "part of the game," but I'm still interested in how it would play differently. Undoubtedly they would be a bit harder to trigger, as the ball would have to roll directly over it.

It looks like this style might work, potentially with some sort of modifications.

Also, on an unrelated note: how do you like your NBA Fastbreak, and how would you compare/contrast it to WCS?

Now that everyone is showing off their World Cup 94 merch, I figured I should add this. I've had the shirt long before I bought the game. I chuckle when people lament that there's "some dog" all over the game. Dude, that's Striker!

... and that I've save up enough $ by then to buy it!

To piggy-back on this response: find the wanted/for-sale and/or discussion pinside thread for your area, and post it there as well.

Look at the pinside map for that game and message owners near to to see if they want to sell.

I believe there was discussion of that plastic a page or two back in this thread, and the consensus is that it isn't stock and doesn't really fit anywhere.

I'd like to know how quiet the spinning ball can get under ideal conditions.

Ain't that a beauty!

Do you know where the pop bumper tops/lights are from? They look snazzy.

Awesome. I will definitely order some for my game.

I would recommend buttons with the springs for the two flipper buttons. The spring is busted in one of mine, and sometimes it sticks for just a bit because of this.

I love how live the pinball itself is. On my machine the wires are current soldered onto the motor's contacts in opposite orientation, so the ball is spinning CCW during normal play. Really shoots it at the flippers (or STTM) on the regular. I would like to wire up some sort of switch so that I can reverse it on the fly between games when I want to change it up.

Now that I have one of my own, I don't mind the spptlight on it.

I am also trying to decide between the two. Would you perhaps be able to post a video of how the different picture setting look for WCS?

Would anyone with an LCD ColorDMD by chance be able to post a video of gameplay with different screen settings? I'm interested in what the various settings (scan, pixel, xl dots, etc.) look like for WCS, but haven't been able to find any thing. Thanks in advance!

Edit: didn't mean to essentially include the same message twice. I must have had an earlier draft saved when I started the second.

What!?

Well even though you don't have the table anymore, don't be a stranger in this thread!

I finally evicted all of the factory set high-scores from my table. Take that MAT!

Or, in my case, whenever it's spinning except for the World Cup Final.....because it was wired backwards. Definitely makes the game interesting.

There's got to be a way to wire in a switch to change this around on the fly. I'll get around to it someday.

How much did it change the gameplay after you switched it?
