I thought I would drop in as I am looking for a Wonka LE. If anyone is looking to part with their Wonka LE let me know.

Quoted from Rager170:http://pinballs.com/
Have them in stock.
Thanks for the lead, I knew that Automated Services, LLC, still had some LE's in stock and I just ordered a Wonka LE.

This has likely been answered already in this thread, but can someone tell me if Wonka LE is a widebody or a standard body pin?
Thanks.

Quoted from Travahontas:Loving this game! We have spent all of our free time playing since it arrived.
4. Plastic Oompa Loompa already broke off the camera.
The same thing happened on my Wonka LE within the first week. My Oompa Loompa was knocked off the camera by an airball, but nothing was broken on it so I glued it back on with Gorilla gel superglue (at both the hand connection point and the foot connection point).
I also purchased and installed the following mod which protects both the Oompa Loompa and the camera.

Quoted from Rager170:Really? I thought they stayed up there until the machine was powered off. Upon powering on, the machine lets the balls out.
Thats how mine works.. I have never changed that setting.. not that I remember ha
Mine works the same as yours and releases any locked Wonkavator balls upon powering up the game. I just re-checked the game settings for Wonkavator multi-ball and couldn't find a setting to release the locked balls at the end of the game.

Quoted from FlippinJB:Game Settings -> Wonkavator Multiball -> Stored Locks - set to YES to keep locked balls between games.
Game Settings -> Wonkavator Multiball -> Lock Behavior - set to SHARED LOCKS if you want players to be able to steal others' locked balls.
Game Settings -> Wonkavator Multiball -> Recover Lost Locks - set to YES if you want the lock to reopen when balls are dumped for other multiballs.
Hope this helps.
Thanks, that explains it perfectly.

Quoted from mbrave77:Ok super dumb question. First time buying plastic protectors on a JJP. The washers between there plastics and metal on the inlanes have small prongs that clip in. They wont fit through the fluroscent protectors I bought. Do I just cut the prongs off or get new washers without them?
Do you mean the small plastic spacers with the plastic prongs? I just installed a set of plastic protectors on my Wonka LE and you need to compress the prongs inward and then they will go into the holes in the plastic protectors.

Quoted from mbrave77:well my little oompa loompa holding the camera fell broke off. Clean break. Im guessing I should use crazy glue or would a hot glue gun be safer? Ive messed up with crazy glue before so I actually just used a little emlers tonight to see how long that lasts...
Use the GEL type super glue and then get this mod to protect your Oompa Loompa going forward.

Quoted from RobbyIRL5:What’s this clear plastic piece look like? Found most of mine busted in the middle of the playfield. What airballs does it protect against!

I picked up a set of Wonka color guard plastic protectors off of Etsy when I got my Wonka LE in April of 2022. I don't think that Wonka color guard plastic protectors are available on Etsy anymore.
The attached photos show some of the plastic protectors installed including the plastic that is broken in your photo. So far so good as I haven't had any broken plastics.

Quoted from Galooch:Was it recent when you got the extra camera and Oompa Loompa? I had checked a few months ago when I got my Wonka and they were out. If so, I may have to get one.
Another option is to pick up the following mod which protects the Oompa Loompa and the camera. One day I found my Oompa Loompa laying on the playfield as an airball had dislodged the Oompa Loompa from the camera so I reattached and re-glued the Oompa Loompa to the camera and then installed the pile of chocolate bars mod and have had no issues since in 9 months.

Quoted from Mrsiyufy:Are you downloading the software and putting it directly on the usb, or are you running it thru Rufus first ?
https://marketing.jerseyjackpinball.com/general/install-full/JJP_USB_UPDATE_PC_instructions.pdf
Does this replace the full install process of using unetbootin? On all of my previous JJP software installations (for WOZ and Wonka) there was a program called unetbootin-windows-702 that was used. It sounds like this has been replaced by Rufus. Is that correct?

Quoted from Gotpins:Could someone in here who has followed the problems of Wonka fill me in on the playfield pooling issues. Do all Wonkas pool? What is the cause? Say I wanted a Wonka with a good non pooling playfield, what born on date would I be looking for. Thanks in advance for any info!
Mine is from December of 2021 and the playfield is perfect.
