I just joined the club and was wondering if i can go from 1.33 to 1.35 with the 1.34-1.35 delta code or do i have to do a full install?

Thanks man! Also how loud is the gobstopper motor suppose to be? mine is sorta loud. Do you guys grease where the 2 gears touch sometimes?

Im not even sure its called the gobstopper. Its the spinning disk that you hit the target and it spins to open a hole to lock a ball in. When i looked at the mech under the playfield it seemed like the sound was coming from the 2 plastic gears that it uses. 1 little gear on the motor and 1 big gear on the disk.

Can anybody tell me the difference between the Wonkavator mods that Lermods and Modcouple make?

Thanks! I already had both there links bookmarked, im looking for somebody thats seen them both in person and which they thought was better. I would rather have the one that is more interactive but it seems they both have some lighting in them but its hard to tell which is a better choice for a SE.

Thanks! I just ordered your Wonkavator. I think it looks great and will fill that void in the left corner on my SE nicely. I never buy mods for playfields but this felt necessary.

I was wondering the same thing. Doesnt look like it does from the text notes but maybe they did alittle polishing that they didnt mention. Im not updating until its worth doing.

I had a GnR SE beside a Wonka SE for alittle while. Wonka is so much better its not even a comparison to me. GnR code is all about score which i absolutely hated unless the games from the 80s. Wonka has such a smooth feel it made GnR feel like it was designed by a rookie with so much clunk and boring shots. Light show wise GnR crushes everything but the light show gets old quick when theres no story or narrative to the code besides get the highest score possible.

No i actually liked the multiballs just didnt like the code direction or the layout plus it feels cheaply made compared to the other JJPs ive owned, i have had 4 out of 6 they have made. Thanks for the Wonka tutorial videos they were/are great by the way. Wonka is wonderful and has some magic under the glass.

Edit-on GnR i made it through the entire code in 2 days of owning it playing it like a mode based game and then realized it just wasnt for me. I dont play for points ever i never look up and see what my scores are until im done, its more about the adventure for me which GnR has none of. Glad you enjoy GnR though!

I would play each song just long enough to qualify for the album modes is how i did it so fast. I just didnt realize the code was setup like it is until it was to late. If it wasnt for Covid I would of played it on location and realized it wasnt for me. I did have the game for about a month and tried and tried to like it but just couldnt get past the layout and code designs. Then i got Wonka and was blown away buy the level of fun I have on it compared to GnR. So I sold GnR and got a Catwomen which is so much better then GnR when it comes to what i prefer in my games. Its all good though I just have a different opinion then alot of guys on GnR i get it.

For sure man Wonka is great and with your tutorials really helped me understand the game, i truly appreciate that you took the time to do them. I see we havent owned Dialed Ins, id love to grab one of them soon also for some more PL fun. To me the first spoken line when you push start on Hobbit is my pinball moto!

You should thank Zach not TPN for giving you a chance to go on his monoplized Flipinout empire advertising channel...

I have the 1.35 image file if you want it

I dont know really. I dont have my match settings on and dont notice any of the animation issues on 1.37 since they dont effect gameplay. If somebody can answer your question and you want it let me know and we can figure out a way for you to grab it.

lol! just jabbing at you softy snowflake since i know you can take it.

Sure how would i do that? Through email? PM me with how to send it or whatever i need to do and ill get it taken care of.

All in good fun my man! Personally i enjoyed the NWO podcast and would listen to another one but on different subject then TPN like a top 10 games discussion where you guys can disagree and agree on games you like.

On the SE the virtual lock is carried over to next game even after being powered off. Just played mine and only had to lock one ball to start it when I locked two yesterday. I remembered it carrying over before when I read your post but had to make sure before I posted.

Im loving the new code! This is easily my favorite JJP game. Its there best shooting and funnest coded game yet. Its been the only game they have made that makes me feel like im playing a 2020(date on my game) Williams but with deep code. I think its slowly creeping up to be my favorite game of all time.

What do you guys consider the perfect stack to setup if you could?

You should jump on the beta code! I havent found any glitches in the beta yet. Honestly I only have about 20 games on DIs but it did shoot nice to compared to the rest of there lineup. Ive owned all but DI and POTC so far but would glady own a DI to give it a try. I was very hesitant on getting a Wonka until SDTM did there review and they were totally right on this game. The SDTM out of the pop bumpers isnt bad as made out to be once you get use to being ready for it and that was my only fear. Really its my favorite PL design easily and might take MMr place as my favorite game to play soon if I could just get more then 3 tickets but Im on my way there now especially with the new easier code. I play in the dark so PinStadiums really work well with this game being the GIs suck stock unless you play in a lit up room.

Im interested in this also. I just noticed my set in my coin box. I recently ordered mylar washer kit from PinMonk for the upper posts in the slings since its the only spots I have a touch of clear pooling but now you got me wondering if the mylar for slingshots would cover the same area and work better.

Hell yeah man! Coming from you means alot considering your collection history. Ive only owned 4 out of the 6 but youve had them all and multiple versions.

When you activate Wonkavator multiball it should build up shaking and be very noticeable. I don't even have mine set on highest setting and its very noticeable.

Like they were made for this game! Neos with fusion and UV flashers on mine. Pics are game with them set on my custom color close to white, UV flashing, and them turned off.

I felt the same way but not on Wonka. GnR SE felt cheap made compared to all other JJPs Ive had. Hobbit felt the heaviest but Woz almost got away from me on a ramp when I got it.

Pictures don't even give pinstadiums half the justice they deserve on this game. In person there the best add on possible for dim GI wonka and actually make the games colors pop even more. You do realize the purple color is the flasher that only does it when the shaker activates and the "white" of them looks pinkish over pics but in person there white. My GC went up instantly with them also so they even make the gameplay better but to each his own...

His walkthroughs were great! His enthusiasm was great! His JJP fanboy grew thin and his treatment of guys with playfield issues was terrible. Take the good with the bad but I wish he was back to. Surprised he left seemed like he had thick enough skin to handle any heat.

Yes Beta did. I went from 10 million GC on regular code to 30 million GC with Beta.

Id recommend not changing the outlanes at all. I tried the game with the post in the upper hole and it actually trapped the ball into the outlane more. You get a much better chance of defensive action with it stock. Plus it will cause pooling more then likely which i noticed on mine right away but luckily that black plastic cap covered it once i moved the post back to original position. Also the right outlanes when i moved them anywhere but stock it created indent in the clearcoat and they also created a trap where the ball wouldnt be able to bounce out making the right outlane a constant drain.
