Here's a mod I came up with for my WOZ.

I didn't care much for the glowing edges of the laser-etched wizard, so I made a cover that mostly hides those edges.

If anyone is interested, I can make a bunch.

The price would be $36 shipped continental U.S.Dsc_9391.jpgDsc_9392.jpgDsc_9393.jpgDsc_9394.jpgDSC_9395.JPG

Thanks Eddie,

Wait until you see the new version.

Hoping to post pictures tomorrow, A little more time consuming to make, but it will a lot better than this first run.

***UPDATE***

I'm still working on this.

I'm running the first batch now. I should have pics posted tomorrow.

I really think you'll like the new version...BUT, the price is going to increase to $36, shipped continental U.S.

I put a lot of effort/time into making something that doesn't have the appearance of being and "add-on". I want something that blends in well with the beautiful WOZ playfield.

I think I've accomplished this.

New pics coming as soon as the first batch is done.

I really think you're going to like it.

Neither...

I machine them out of a block of black Delrin (acetal).

CNC machined.

Thanks Aurich,

The surface finish on these are nice.

I've been cnc machining plastics/metals for over 30 years, (have been a one-man operation for the last 25 years).

I mostly design/manufacture medical stuff.

I love my WOZECLE.

I think Joe @ Laserriffic did a great job with the laser cutting/etching.

After playing a ton of games on my WOZ, I noticed how distracting the wizard acrylic piece was with its' brightly glowing edges.

I've designed/machined a shroud that covers those brightly lit edges.

I tried my best to come up with something that wouldn't look like an "add-on".

I think I've accomplished it.

The shroud is cnc machined from a block of black Delrin, (acetal). The front of the shroud wraps around the front face of the laser etched acrylic. This helps hide all of the lit edges. The edges have also has beveled edges that really add to the aesthetics.

It's very hard to take a good picture of this but here are a few.

I've run the first batch of these and they are ready to ship. These will come with new mounting hardware, (4-40x5/8 socket head cap screws and nylon lock nuts).

Price: $36 shipped, continental U.S.

Please contact me at [email protected] if you're interested.

I really think this looks great on the machine....It gives that particular area that "finished look".

Thank you.

I really appreciate the feedback.

This mod might not be for everyone. The reason I made it was...I thought the glowing edges take something away from the LED light show that WOZ is. It's hard to see the improvement of the wizard head w/o the mod installed, but I really think it's an improvement.

Thanks Lloyd

I think it's an improvement. It really looks good on the machine.

Here are some more pics.

PM your shipping address.
I'll get a shipping cost the next time I'm at the post office.

With the light off, you can still see the laser etched wizard head, just not as well as you can when it's lit.

Thanks sc204

I've been a machinist/engineer for 30+ years...the last 25 years I've been a one-man shop. Not many of us pinball hobbyist can say they have their own machine shop. It comes in handy sometimes...LOL

Bump

I've sold quite a few of these.

Is anyone else interested?

Thanks,

I really think it dresses up that area of the playfield. To me, the lit edges of the acrylic just seemed out of place in comparison to the LED light show on the playfield.

another bump.

Everyone seems to like this mod.

Sure can use some more reviews from those that have bought this.

Thanks guys

Pen,

It's nearly impossible to get plastic plate material in colors, especially translucent.

Colored transparent plate can be found, bit is usually limited to 1/4 inch thickness of less and is Acrylic, which is too brittle to be inside a pinball machine.

Delrin comes in white, (natural) and Black, (same as white but has a pigment in it).

I could have gone with PVC, but the machines finish isn't as nice, and I don't care for the gray color.

Thanks Alex.

Thanks

Thanks scottr,

I'm glad you like it.

bump

Thanks

I've sold a bunch of them. Everyone seems to like 'em.

New hardware was shipped w/ all of my covers.

Just a word of apology to those who ordered in the last week or so.
I've been down for the past week w/ the flu.

All orders were shipped yesterday.

Tim

Thanks Gord

Will ship 1st thing in the morning.

Thanks....

Thanks beelzeboob

It's even nicer if you replace the stand-off with a shorter one on the spotlight directly behind the throne room.

The throne room shroud hides the spot light.

Shipped already.

I only have one left from the 1st batch.

I plan on having the next batch ready soon.

Thanks Gord,

I'm glad you like it.

Tim

Thanks for the good review toro.

I agree, I think it really makes a big difference.

Thank you very much for the kind words.

Tim

I have the 2nd batch finished now, and ready to ship if anyone's interested.

Yes,

You can still see the collect insert.

Bump for all of the new WOZ owners.

Yes, I have these ready to ship.

Send me a PM w/ your shipping info. I'll go to the post office and get a shipping cost to Oz

bump...

I have these available and ready to ship, if anyone is interested.

Yes, Tim Mezel asked if I could send my mod to him just so he can design his mod around mine.

Though I don't have his mod on my pin, I hear it looks great.

Thank you very much for the compliment...much appreciated.

Glad you like it....now get on that Getaway PF swap so you can see what my stoplight mod looks like...LOL

Thanks Lloyd...

Doug said that you had made a comment that you weren't a big fan of mods, but really liked my throne room cover.

Glad you like it Lloyd....merry Christmas!!!

Thanks to everyone else who've purchased these....

I've sold quite a few.

I'm glad everyone seems to like it.

My guess is you'll have to remove the torch mod.

The hardware that I ship w/ the cover allows you to mount both mods together, (from what I'm told). I don't have the torch mod on my WOZ.

bump

Thanks for the compliment BladeFury.

Glad you like it.

I have these available, and ready to ship.

Please send me a PM, if you're interested.

Thanks,

Tim
