I'm picking up a first run WOZ. How do I get a set of the new light boards?

What are some of the extra parts that one should have with the game? Just picked one up and I see that there are still a great deal of parts available from JJP, but they won't last long. Any recommendations on mechs/etc that have a short life within the game that I should stock up on?
New owner here. I have an original standard version. I've got all the issues/bugs worked out except one....
Everytime the castle flipper engages, the castle lock door also opens. When I lift the pf out and set it on the lock down bar, it still occurs, but not as much. When I lift it higher, it does not happen.
Guessing there is a short on the mini pf - started to remove it, but how do I fix it assuming the flipper mech is causing the short?
Thanks.
I have been on the list for awhile and finally got the email.
But $850??? For boards to replace a defect in the original build? That's like an automaker charging you for the recall parts.
Is everybody paying this?
Quoted from MrMikeman:what were you expecting? That’s pretty much been the same price all along with inflation adjustment. They are offering you an upgrade to retrofit your older game with better/more reliable parts that were designed and implemented after your game was manufactured. Lots of folks are still running the original boards without any issues. Not sure how you are stretching this into “replacing defective and recalled parts”.
If you want an auto analogy it’s more like a manufacturer offering you 2022 parts that you can fit to your 2017 vehicle that are a better design than the original and that may increase overall reliability.
I was expecting a manufacture who sold a flawed design to provide relief for their customers. Not sure I agree with your "retrofit" definition; as that would assume the original boards/designed were adaptable and most people I have spoken to have had issues with the boards, myself included.
It's a shame that the company does not stand by their products.
Quoted from Jazman:I'm sure there would be plenty of debate on "flawed design". Could the original design have been more rugged and reliable... sure. Does that mean it's flawed?!?
So, a manufacturer improves on a design and makes it better for future products. You expect them to replace all the previous versions?
(sorry, this pushed one of my buttons... why would a manufacturer EVER try to get better if that was the goal line they were expected to live up to)...
Would it be nice for them to give discounts as upgrades to existing customers... sure. Are they required to? Hell no.
my 2 cents...
Jaz
Again - what is the difference between "flawed" and "improvement"? If a designed part has a failure rate above it's intended threshold, it's flawed.
We'll just have to agree to disagree as they say.
And I sure won't be buying any more JJP games. Have I had issues with Stern? Of course, but they never pulled something like this.
