Joined the club on Friday! Before owning WOZ, I had only played maybe 5 games on it. I chose it because I absolutely love the light show and I wanted a deep pin (my other pins are fast flow). I am having a lot of fun so far but it is kicking my ass! I need to learn to play better. What settings do you guys use? At a minimum I'm going to turn on a ball saver for at least a few seconds. Seems like my WOZ came with pindemption so I'm going to play around with it too...

I have a late model WOZ (Dec 2015) which came with mylar between the Haunted Forest pop bumpers and in front of the State balloon. Do owners add additional mylar or did WOZ not originally come with this? I'm a bit concerned about the forest area. The Mylar covers the space between the pops but doesn't cover the area to the right of the top bumper (e.g. it stops around the T in haunted)

Yes, middle positions are the factory setting for the outlanes.

During weak flippers mode should you be able to hit the ramp?

Beat by Nokoro who said it better than me anyway.

GorfFan, I wouldn't worry too much about little problems like this for now. Even if your machine is exhibiting the problem you likely wouldn't notice it unless you are very good player with very accurate shots.

See page C-76 and C-77 of the manual (you can get the manual from JJP's website).

That is awesome. It is a great idea to allow user's to design kits like that.

Indypinhead's set he sells here includes a protector for this plastic. It is a PITA to install but I did it at the same time I installed my cliffy's.

I love WOZ. WOZ is so awesome even my wife loves playing (SM is the only other pin of the 11 I've own that remotely interested her). Having that said, I just had GI board #7 fail for the second time in as many months. What gives? This is a WOZ with a Dec 2015 build date. I thought the light board problems were fixed? It is easy to bypass and it is a light I don't even notice is missing while I wait for my replacement, but it is annoying.

Do you mean the mechanical sound or the sound effect? The sound effect is definitely different but I think the mechanical sound is different too. I think it simply the placement of the sling relative to other objects and being further back in the playfield

I am happy to report my problem is solved and even happier to report that the problem was not failing light boards. JJP sent me another GI board #7, I installed it, and it worked for all of a minute before failing. That prompted me to investigate for shorts and the connectors. Low and behold I found a loose wire! I fixed that and now I can get all the LED working. I even reinstalled the original light board my distributor took out before I received the pin because it was"bad" and it works. So I'm back to the pins' original board set and everything is working. Woot!

So PSA: If you have light board issues check your wires. Loose connections can be hard to see or even impossible to see when plugged in. Note the green wire below.

look in the manual. There is a section on troubleshooting LED problems. Basically you need to find the first board which isn't working based on the diagrams and then check the cables on the board and maybe bypass it.

GotAQuestion Awesome!

I need to get better at WOZ. I'm going to shoot for 1 mil too. My average is 80-150K and my high is 408K so I have a long way to go...

Does WOZ have a score audit? Like 5 games at less than 100K, 10 games at 100K-200K, etc... If it does I cannot find it and it seems a strange omission given how nice the service / audit menu is otherwise.

I would definitely try to do something to try and keep it from getting worse. I agree it doesn't look bad right now, but I wouldn't want it to get worse.

For what it is worth, I have no noticeable damage there. WOZ standard, 12/15 build date, ~900 plays. (I have a small chip in clear on the Wizard hole. Added Cliffy there after about 600 plays).

My WOZ has a 12/15 build date. It has the 7.5V or 7.5V buffered light boards. I'm not sure. I bought my WOZ with less than 100 plays and it had a bad light board when I got it (I knew this going into it). JJP sent me a replacement which also failed a few plays after installing it. They sent me a second replacement and the machine has been problem free for 1 year now, 1148 plays, and 31 days run time. Take that to mean what you will but I've been happy with the machine's reliability and JJP support.

(One thing that doesn't get brought up enough when the light board issues are discussed is possible cable issues. They seem to carry ground via the shield rather than a wire. They solder a small wire to the shield to make the connection right before the connector. I found that this wire was broken on my cable going into the failed board. I suspect this is why the first board they sent me failed and perhaps why the original board failed as well. I fixed this before installing the second board they sent me and I've had no issues).

No, at least not the incremental update.

I've probably played 500 games on WOZ and I don't really know what is going on with horses and pretty much ignore it. I play WOZ like BSD: It is all about the multiball stacks.
