The Wizard head is just a 12 volt green strip so you could use another source other than JJP. I made my own from a green reel I had from amazon.

I guess this LED is notorious for going out ya?

ALso my machine has 06.61 is that the latest or should i update? thanks

One last thing... im getting some SUPER annoying vibration between the glass and side rails, cause the sub and music. I noticed the side rails on this game are not using doubled sided tape, and thus are kinda loose allowing little movement thus vibration

I had same issue, there is some special tape you can add to the glass, but I just folded up some thick card stock and slipped it in above the glass on either side (in one spot). If I remove the glass it just falls out. Got rid of the vibration noise for me

Oh and 6.61 is the latest

Thanks arcadenerd925 and idea where to buy this “special tape” also loving your fun house restoration!

Nevermind found it! Flipper fidelity sells it

The throne room has a small LED strip under it make sure it's plugged in. If the little strip is bad you can order one from jjp directly.

If he is a stand up guy then you should ask him to cover the cost of the replacements, if he doesn't you know never to buy from him again and you could warn potential buyers in future.

Ok guys im going to order some mods for my WOZ but had some questions. Mainly the castle walls. I was thinking of going with the modfather one with the witches well. Any reason not to get the modfather one over the back alley creations one? thanks

Get the red smoke one It is the best one and you will not be disappointed and not a single owner here who has it will tell you its not worth it. I had the godfather one and switched. I love the red smoke version! I like the leaved trees with red led eyes and lighted emerald city as well. Don't forget the bottomer witch legs!

I agree, the red smoke witch mod is awesome (never parting with mine, haha) but they are also not currently being made. (I'm sure Steve will make more down the road when time permits).

Right that’s why I asked which casket walls as I know he’s not making that mod right now

Get the complete set from Matt at back alley creations.
They are the best.

I bought the modfather walls but the material wasnt durable enough to last properly. It was a kind of marshmallow material that looked really nice but ultimately the holes wore out and they kept falling off.

Get the red smoke mod later when it becomes available again.
For now sign up for the monkey mod.

So I also want to put an led in the state fair balloon... and I’m use to Williams, the wiring harnesses in this game is nuts, where / how do I tap into a gi circuit? Or power? Thank you

Don't.

12 volt spot lights.

LTG : )

Thanks LTG so any leds added need to be 12v essentially?

Yep! Just replaced my third one in a year. Ordered 3 from JJP. Obviously a cheap part – wish they would go with another manufacturer.

Interestingly, the LED is getting power but circuitry on the strip must go bad.

Here are before and after shots of the strip! And the final outcome

12 volt LED, wire it to a nearby spotlight.

LTG : )

Get the state fair balloon mod from mezelmods.com

Cap (c126) came loose from Woz5 v1.1 looked at manual as well as visually. Just confirming it's 16v 2200uf.

Found these. Any issues? Figured I'd double the with the experts

ebay.com link: 10pc Topmay Electrolytic Radial Aluminum Capacitor 2200uF 16V 13x21mm 105 C New

Go with the Backalley walls if you think you might be able to snag the red witch mod down the line. The well for that mod was made as a better match the brick style/color of the Backalley walls.

Also they look amazing and hold up. I’ve had mine in through two shows and a year at home and still look like the day I put them in.

Those will work, don’t worry if they seem larger in size when installed no and whatever you do, DO NOT REVERSE THE CAP! Make sure positive and negative are installed correctly

well just ordered a ton of goodies from Back Alley. Got the combo and added the emerald city.

I'm thinking about getting Pin Stadium, I don't have them on any of my machines. Though I think it's an amazing product I have always been concerned that it may detract from the intended presentation of the games, as they have are pretty dramatic effect.

It will compliment the game, not take away from it. And make game play easier if your game is in a dark setting.

LTG : )

PinStadiums in WOZ are fantastic for improving the lackluster GI and being able to see the ball well, if you play in a dimly lit room your scores will improve with the PS Kit. There are two things to consider with it though since you have the non 2.0 lighting system the GI integration in the P.S. kit is very active. If this is a good thing or a bad thing is a matter of opinion / preference because with it integrated the P.S. lights go out in a lot of modes including all the Crystal Ball Modes, Battle the Witch, when you're in Munchkinland mode and probably another one or two I'm forgetting about (EDIT: in LTG's video you don't see this happening because his has the new 2.0 light kit). This makes for a VERY dramatic effect but it also makes the contrast so much more extreme you may not like it and it may hurt your scores. The good news is if you don't like it, or if you want to play sometimes with it on and sometimes with it off all you have to do is move the GI integration inputs to one of the spotlights and it will stay on whenever the game is on, fairly easy to switch back and forth as long as you don't mind lifting the Playfield. The other thing to consider is the Flasher kit, the UV Glow option looks awesome but WOZ doesn't actually have any flashers other than the one at the Witch so you are limited to having it flash whenever the witch is going up or down, still very cool but not much flexibility there. Of course you can order the kit without the flasher option if you really want to.

I looked at pin stadium options and couldn't figure out what option to get, thanks for the break down, good tutorial.

Pinstadium: I would recommend it if you like to play in a darker room or lights off.

Where I have woz I have dim-able lights above (and I dont like to play with the room totally dark) so not needed for me.

I added some purple spots to mine attched to the regular GI and it seems enough for a lot less than the pinstadium lights.
Plus it works with the code.

Hi everyone,

This is my first post on Pinside, I received my WOZ Ruby red 2 weeks ago, put in 500 plays since them, and loving that fantastic pinball. I had a STTNG for years, had to sell it a while ago and I must say that WOZ is a major step forward in countless ways.
I bought it from The Pinball Company, Nic and Brooke have been of great help and service along the way.

In short, but nothing new there, I've never seen a game with that many things to do, and I keep discovering new modes along the way. I really like the "open world" approach where there are tons of paths to get to the wizard mode. The game is fast, all the shots are rewarding and there seems to be enough to do to keep me busy for a while. Kudos to JJP for that one, I wanted to buy a NIB pinball but didn't want to get a Stern, I'm just not a big fan of the feel and don't believe much in having a Stern for life wether for maintenance or gameplay, so JJP is a blessing.

I had a few issues with it, 2 led boards died and my crystall ball was freezing. I sorted out the Crystal ball, the SD card wasn't well inserted so it was losing contact.
As to the led boards, I got help from JJP support to understand the string concept on the first one, then got the concept and sorted out the second one myself. The cool thing with that string compared to my old STTNG is that it takes out so many lights at once that it forced me to work on it right away, where on the TTNG I was waiting to have a bunch of lights out before resolving myself to work on it. A gift in disguise I guess.

What else to say, JJP support team is super reactive and efficient, maintenance has been a breeze so far and playing that pinball is immensely satisfying. I've always been a big fan of the Wizard of Oz movie and this pinball truly brings the movie to the playfield, they did a very good job at implementing the them with a great attention to details.

I've been "working from home" for 3 days now, and quite frankly I haven't worked much !

Welcome to pinside!
Welcome to the Club!

WOZ is just an amazing game, its never leaving our home!

Is that difficult to do?

Not really just use 12v leds.

Can you post a pic as to where you placed these spots?

I have two spots on the top of each sling and one set of two just below the trees.

They are not too hard to install on top of a couple of hex posts.

You can move them around and put them wherever you see fit.

You can get either the silver spotlights or the black ones I think the black ones look better.

Cool...thank you sir!

Winkie target in! Such a must for this game.

I agreed, you can hardly notice when the stock one comes up.

Good point, I hadnt thought of that (just adding a few spots)

Pinstadium lights are incredible, especially on this game. I got them about 1 month ago and it is night and day difference, especially this is a fairly dark game. I got the uv glow flasher. Scott walked me theough installation and i have a youtube that shows exactly how wires go on 2.0 system.

Hey guys about to order some cliffy’s for my woz but good lord... there is like a massive amount of options. I was thinking vuks, drop target and shooter lane... any suggestions? Cheers

The munchkin playfield is a must. The others are not needed on my opinion

I got a complete set for my RR 3 years ago, new. Absolutely no wear. Munchkin & all holes protectors heip a lot.

I found the ones that protect the rollovers and magnets to be problematic

arcadenerd925 messes with the ball I bet?

I've heard people say the munchin area (wood edge) can be damaged but I haven't seen this after a few years. Ball doesn't seem to hit it.
I like the look of the wood edge.

Munchkin edge protection is a must

Please post close up pictures of the edge near the ramp over the lollipop targets after 2000 plays.

With no protector.

Mine was visibly dented and chipped at 500 plays.

You reminded me that I need this! Was just on Mezel Mods and looks like they're out of stock. I think that's the only place that carries them, right?

I bought a set that a guy had in his Star Wars (stern) but I’m thinking I’d rather have it in woz. Is that a comparable switch? I have uv glow and flasher but I’m afraid I’m on the previous gen lighting boards (pre-2.0?)

Yeah, not a huge deal. but annoying. I skipped and have seen no wear around those in the 4+ years I've had the machine.

Go to acliffys Passion For Pinball. He makes all of them.you order from hin.He is the best ana stays very busy. Check his site.

Cliffy don't do Winkie Targets.

indypinhead was making the lighted winkie drop targets
