Great questions. Maybe this is an own thread?
I hope you dont mind me adding some?

What are the objectives code wise?
For pirates,woz and especially hobbit, it´s pretty clear, but what are thoose for wonka?

Can charlie reach Success?
Can you make the elevator get the bucket family?

Seems to me the standard is the sensible choice.
I really dont fancy the look of the wonkavator lock, but the sidearts looks better, but not 2k$ better.

You are lucky over there in regards to tax and pricing.
Here in sweden a new standard wonka+tax costs 10400$
A new LE comes in just under 13K$

Really sucks. Sorry to hear.
If you are 100% sure, there are NO connection issue, voltage or relay. It gets voltage? But it doesn't get signal to turn on voltage, even from The board?
If you are not sure, try(if possible) to connect that magnet to Another magnet controller.

If all that works, maybe try a reinstall?

Sorry that might have been confusing. If there is a coupling scheme added try to change coupling on the controller with Another magnet. If the other magnet during test isnt working it's something wrong with the controller/board.

Lovely.

(need pictures assembled)

Does anybody understand why JJP chooze to stay with mirco?
I simply Dont get it.

I Dont know How long they are obligated/contracted to mirco, but after potc, they sure must know mirco is crap.

Very puzzled on the whole playfield issue. I've seen williams/bally pf's more then 20 years, looking as good as new.
What's this re-invent the wheel shit?

Otherwise i agree JJP games are spectacular and great, which imo makes it even worse and pisses me of royally.

The se and le allready has liquid cooled magnets.
They call it playfield cooling.

Just a suggestion, maybe a valve rubber for a bicycle would work?
I´m not sure of the right terminology, but hopefully you know what i mean?

No, this....

I've looked at some of your stream (hope you Dont mind). Great watch.
You seem more glad playing wonka then jp, or is it just How it looks to me?

Since i had my interest in pinball rewaken(english?) a year or so ago.
Modifications is what is puzzling me the most.
Almost without exception, most of it seems like McDonald happy meal stuff.
I"ve seen some cool stuff, (like the chest-opening in pirates), but most are non-interacting plastic.

Just for this "factory", why not put an opto inside and have it Actually Do something, When a ball passes thru?

I'm sorry to say it is lacklusyer, but i really think it is for the most.

Another thing that I've been thinking about...
Is there some unwritten rule, that you can't mod/decorate the pinball legs?
Why are there no dinosaur legs for jurasic park? Chocolate bar legs for wonka etc?

Yea i was thinking a wooden leg and a pirate boot for pirates of the caribbean.

There are loads of things to improve. If there were real modders in pinball, why isnt there optional game play mode for kids playing wonka?

Where the heck are the hackers of pinball?
Assets?
Download this filé.

If the Beatles were a computer game, does anybody really think 2 years after release, customers would complain about only eight songs and they only play for a minute or so?

There is so much to do and improve, it's crazy, but Apparently this community is only able to produced lollypop stickers for the flippers.

It's sad, it Could be so much more and way cooler.

If I wasn't flooded with work, i assure you i would.
It is just so annoying seeing virtua-pins having ten Times the assets and code options, then that of the real thing and The best the pinball mod-community can provided is matchbox helikopter and cheap Paul McCartney wigs that you can tape on the cabinet and use as a topper. Cool right!!! All this at a 2000% mark up.
Dont even get me started on all the cheap chinese led lights put just about everywhere.

Well, i guess as long as people Buy the stuff, you just cant blame them.
I just think pinball longs for and can Do better.

Programs that enable you to incorporate assets like sound and video?
Interactive mods/toys that elevates game play with code and effects.?
Selectable game play level/ruleset at startup for games in homesettings and in codes for kid-settings incorporate easter eggs/video etc that suits kids?

All awesome ideas, but for now we got monopol hats, spray painted to look like a wonka hat, glued to the playfield and Everybody is ecstatic.

Why couldn't you have assets, rulesets etc for a real pinball game?

The attitude of shut up or Do it yourself, isn't something any person into customer service or spokeperson would even dream of uttering, something as stupid. Only some childish immature person loosing an argument.
On that i have a fairly lucrative job, but in this "mod" buissness, you are Apparently ably to charge 30$ for a one inch sized plastic hat and 200$ for a shaving cream can with lights coming out of it's ass, i might Actually consider it.

Comes from The right person telling others they Dont have a clue and to shut up.
And as before, not a singel argument, only insults, but that's what is expected.

The playfield looks absolutely spectacular.

Which basically means no wonka for me. Gameroom is beeing completed around xmas and wonka was clearly part of the plan, but will be out.
I wonder how manu sales jjp lost due to committing to mirpoo?

I guess the only good option as it stands is cgc's, danesis new or backpaddle to stern sam games, cause i aint be getting spike-shite.

Why do you think they would confirm playfields beeing corrected?

Wouldn"t that be like saying, stuff was faulty and are now corrected?
What about liability if they did that?

So the game produced has a limited playability due to defect?
Which is the time span for thoose defective games? Production dates?

What are the customers supposed to do about thoose games?
If there was an identifiable defect has thoose customers been notified?
What Will happen to the defective games?
Etc etc etc.....

Does it cost extra to chose number?

Such a beauty of a game.
I hope it wins the game of the year award.

The whole homepin thread is filled with derogatory Slander about chinese making pinball machines.
Nobody is reacting.

As a bystander, i guess I've never understood the political correct Pecking order.

Ltg just provided a really good video on How to tune in the flippers.

So saying chinese cant make pinball machines in a derogatory fashion isn't racist?

Great showing, you`ve really improved.
Congrats.

Now stop playing panic pinball every time you get a multiball and you will crush it.
Then we will see you on future papa tourneys

Maybe it´s just part of securing during transport?

Grats.
Would love to see some better pictures of it.

So nice.

Considered a Wall mount as decoration?
Do you think it would warp or decay in some way if you did?

What a great setup.
Hat´s of.

I guess that nascar will be gone in a couple of months?

I had Dialed in for a three months as a loaner.
I really didnt resonate with it. The theme is meh and the scoring balance only really works for one playstyle IMO.
It would have worked better if there was more sim-city and the other facets then stopping disasters and collecting sim cards was more highlighted and meaningful.

The family loved it though, esp the wife.

Jeez played this game two days ago. Played at Red stone gothenburg sweden (fantastic place with lots of high end games)
Here i was thinking hobbit is jjp´s best and i honestly dont like anything by lawlor. (until now)

This pin is great or maybe even the greatest.
Instantly fell in love with it. Played three games or so and got two golden tickets. played wonkas office without realizing it. LOL
(there seems to be a lot to doo)

None for sale in europe, so is there any chance you think it will be vaulted in the future?
(seems to me both ts4 and gf are duds?)

I have played ts4, thought it was terrible. Ofc matter of opinion. The price doesnt help either.

Havent played GF, it might be great. The owners thread with 800 posts in 4 months, suggests its a dud.

I think jjp are risking pricing themself out. Having less in the games doesn´t help.

As i said in 13197 i found it really great. One of the best, maybe the best i´ve ever played.

Really nice game.
Managed to snag one of the last NIB´s (i think?)

Bought from a german dealer (good experience) (PU). It has traveled a long way, at a long time, but beside a loose wire or two were at perfect new health.

Now i just need to complete the game room building at the ranch(behind the game) and complete the collection with a woz and a tna.
(both Labyrinth and looney tunes looks lovely aswell)
Then i will be a really happy camper.
