Are the buttons to adjust labeled

It's a menu system. Arrows and enter IIRC.

Slugworth multiball is part of the Factory Tour group of inserts - it is in the top group of 4 and is qualified by hitting the captive ball. The group consists of 2x wonka bars, collect bonus, super spinner and slugworth mb. Hitting the captive ball will cycle through the 4 changing which one is lit next.

Well the Mod Father came through with an Awesome shooter rod now if Only I had a game to stick it in... What number was the speed dial for Mr Christopher #Kingpingames again. Drive faster we need us some WONKA!!! (but drive safely don't want to mess with the tip indicators lol)

Just got a phone call from my distributor. My LE will be arriving on Tuesday. This is my first JJP game. I can’t wait.

I'm certain this was discussed to death already so please excuse the redundancy but left outlane is an f'ing vacuum. Is the move to install the included spare post but leave off the rubber?

The spare post, when installed in either of the two holes near the left outlane, prevents the ball from being able to go down the left inlane. I have had different sized rubber rings and it doesn't appear to help. Seems it is not possible to install the spare post on the left outlane from what I can tell.

I installed the post in the first spot and used the rubber that was on the post seperating the inlanes. That rubber seems to be smaller than the one they provided in the bag. It works great.

So post separating the inlanes is naked without a rubber? I tried that but didn't like the way it affected the ball dropping from the wire from.

Game is on original 1.06 code planning on delta upgrade tomorrow.Is there any known issues with update?

Joined the club today. #160 LE is set up and on location here in Florence,KY at Comics2games. This game is amazing and alot of fun. Are we crazy for not doing a SE instead, no not really when all the kids to adults light up when they play it and how great it looks and shoots. It came with 1.09 loaded just remember to check in the menu for virtual lock turned on for wonkavator and switch it to shared to keep the locked balls up on the device.

Getting a switch error on D05, Elevated Diverter...not having the manual, I have no clue where this one is. Anyone know?

Diverter under the little building on the left ramp. Goes down to divert the ball and up to let ball go by.

LTG : )

Do all the LE’s require virtual wonkavator lock? Is this a code issue?

They dont require the virtual lock on wonkavator but if its turned on it will not keep the balls in the wonkavator but rather load a ball in and then release it back down and light a green light in the wonkavator showing a virtual ball is locked vs having the balls stay in the device until the 3 ball multi ball is engaged.

Its turned on and off in the menu under settings it's not a code issue just an option to select between.

Got it. Thank you!

Man are you going to be blown away with there quality!
Enjoy the Pin.
Then get another Jersey Jack.
I've been collecting since 2003 and gone through like 70 titles of all companies.
Believe me Jersey is by far the best manufacturer.

Are we sure? Mine was throwing an error and it was named left ramp diverter, not elevated diverter.

By first post, do you mean the one that requires you to take out the black rubber piece in the playfield? If so how did you remove it? Seems it almost needs to be drilled out.

Any of you new LE owners have any problems with the clearcoat on the playfields? Ive got an LE preordered but have been waiting to see if JJP have sorted out the issue they had with POTC.

Not that ive seen but not a ton of plays

Can you push it out from beneath the playfield?

This keeps happening.. forces me to remove the PF every time since ball search won't find it. Anyone else? Is this the diverter issue everyone is speaking of?
IMG_2337 (resized).jpeg

This is not happening on mine, but I am having the issue when the ball should divert but just keeps going past the divert. The reason I believe it should divert is because I see the lower flipper flip twice to call my attention that the ball should divert to it.

Any ideas on this error? Its my dads machine and I’m not there to help him unfortunately...could this be the dreaded trough board issue?

Check the power connectors and switch connector on the trough opto boards - wiggle them like you would a loose tooth - see if you've got a loose or bad connection.

I’m running to his house probably in a few hours. I just hope it’s as simple as a connection and not a bad opto board. This is is first pin so trying to explain stuff over FaceTime can be challenging lol

Helping parents with technology is so fun!

It’s something. Good thing he only lives up the road about 10 minutes lol

Well went again and played a ton more....I just can't pull the trigger on this game for the same reasons noted earlier. So disappointing but I'll be monitoring the code updates and revisit then.

The black rubber tip on the shooter rod broke today. I have around 650 plays. doh!

So if I remove the 6th ball, the trough error goes away...obviously it’s a bad board

You wore that bitch out!

I bought a dozen shooter tips from Marco after getting a bad one OOTB on a machine. I have never regretted having them and use them a lot more often than I expected to.

I have several black ones that I kept after I replaced standard black rubbers on various machines with color kits. Sometimes it pays to keep the old parts after mods are made!

Mine broke at about 275 games and the flipper rubbers were also flaking bad. Cheap rubbers on these. I also keep a few on hand so I didn’t miss a beat. Put silicon (purple!) on all the flippers.

There are still issues with this on the SEs. I would advise people to apply neoprene washers ASAP if you see bubbling. Mine looked like they screwed the star posts down with an impact wrench.

I just got my LE a week ago and it had major clearcoat rippling/bubbling under every visible post before I even flipped a ball. I’ve also got more technical issues than I’ve ever had with a pin before. Working with my distributor and JJ on what to do. Haven’t been able to play a single normal game yet. Trough issues, the secret machine dropped down 3/4 of an inch and it constantly shoots balls. Ugh.

duplicate post

Hey guys! New Wonka owner here. Arrived today. Game plays fine with 1 exception. Whenever the ball goes into the gobstopper hole it forces a ball search and then the ball is released and goes to the upkicker. Before the ball search it isn’t released. What should I do to fix this? What is the issue that’s happening.

4BFF8594-523C-43A5-8287-99D912D7C691 (resized).jpeg

Very common. First kick the gobstopper lock coil up 1 or 2 notches. If it still happens after that, you may need to trim the coil sleeve (search this thread for details on that.)

Try the coil power first, as I went straight to the sleeve trim and it didn't fix things until I adjusted the power.

shame..

Another reminder to all new owners: register your Wonkas with JJP immediately and report any and all issues with customer service.

I have 3 issues. 1. Gobstopper vuk doesn’t kick the ball to the upkicker. Has to ball search every time. I turned it off in the settings and so now I qualify by just hitting the gobstopper. Makes it easier but it’s a fix for now. 2. Diverter works 80% of the time but sometimes it does bounce back and then it comes back down the habittrail and doesn’t divert. 3. The wonkavator. Ball goes up there, counts and then it lets it go. The issue is the plastic rod that keeps the balls up there. When it goes to release it, it opens, the ball starts to roll down, and then closes but it closes on the ball and holds it up there indefinitely until I’m back to one ball and then ballsearch lets it go. 4. PF clear bubbles around the posts.... anybody help with #2 or 3? :/ sucks

Update: gobstopper vuk issue fix-increase release and vuk power by 2 each. Fires and released every time.

Wonkavator release. Increase milliseconds by 2-4. Works now.

Only remaining issue is diverter bounceback 20% of the time.

Pf issue

Can you please post a picture of this?

Diverter bounceback is unsolved at this time as far as I know. Glad the others were small software tweaks!

Where do you suggest getting neoprene washers? I don’t notice any rippling on mine but would like to avoid the issue if possible.
