Quoted from Camvr2013:

I just completed my first mod! An easy one. For those of you with PinGulps, a Fizzy Lifting Drink vinyl sticker label! **I don’t like to waste materials, so I’ve got 3 extra labels. First 3 people to PM me their address, I will send you one free of charge!**

Quoted from Camvr2013:

Created a DropBox folder to house all of my Wonka mods. The Fizzy Lifting Drink label is there for anyone who would like to print one for yourself!

Quoted from DaddyManD:

Soooo, considering a CE. Would be our first JJP! Anyone with a CE know the height of the machine with topper installed? Want to be sure I can fit it in the basement location. Also, I have seen folks suggesting the CE is worth it...agree?! Want something we will keep for many years. We love our Stern games but the code just isn't deep enough so you have to really love the theme to make it a keeper.

Quoted from Adipocere:

Can you link to the LED lights you got? Sounds way better than the $30-50 options being offered by opportunists here.

amazon.com link »
I added some images of the blue light effect
these are low voltage, so I assume if you know how, you can modify the device (cut the wires and splice) to tie right into GI lighting circuits for use on NON USB applications (stern and williams games). I'm gonna try to get another set, and see if I can splice them into a GI circuit (6 volt) soon.
heres the USB powered car lights. remote controlled RGBs. $15 such a deal!!!![quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from naf_llabnip:

Posting this in case it can help others. So the first mod that I ordered for the game was a set of pinblades (well, actually PinGraffix which I bought via eBay). I read on the forums how to install these, and watched videos, and to say I was concerned about getting a clean install is an understatement. But somewhere earlier I read a post by somebody who said they simply removed the entire playfield, didn't have to disconnect anything, and that they (with help) set it on sawhorses right to the side of the machine and then had full easy access to the inside of the cabinet.
I paid close attention to the margins on either side of the playfield, and they literally scrape when raising and lowering the playfield (not the actual playfield sides, but the upper clear ramps on the left side of the machine drag the edges, and there isn't any way to adjust those to get out of the way). I saw the solutions for the plastic shields you can insert each time you raise the playfield, but felt those were pricey and was not confident I could even squeeze them in. Plus just one more thing to worry about and store somewhere. I saw another post from someone who lined the edges of their playfield with felt, so I went that route. Plus I lined the edges of the plastic ramps so they would slide smoothly.
Since my wife has bad back trouble at the moment (due to trying to help me get the machine upstairs), I "had" to figure out how to remove the playfield by myself, and found a super easy solution. I propped up the front of the machine to lessen the angle a bit. Then I raised the playfield up and set the front overhanging the front of the machine. But on the back, I wrapped a towel around a board, simply lifted the end of the playfield up high, slid the board underneath the rails below the playfield so the playfield just sat on top of the machine, giving full access to the inside of the cabinet (and made SURE it was on sturdy and would not slide down or to the side). Then it was super easy to install the blades, didn't need to mess with Windex or anything, just lined 'em up, used painters tape to hang them in position, and then undid the backing and installed them. The type I purchased were great about being able to lightly stick, then pull up, then adjust until I had them perfect, then I just used my hand to press them in and iron out any bubbles and they turned out perfect. While the playfield was up I used the 3/4" felt tape and lined the entire machine (every surface edge that could possibly scrape the sides), lowered the playfield back in, and it slides in and lifts up smooth as butter, nothing binding, nothing scraping. Took me about 30 minutes taking my time for the whole operation. Anyway, there are different ways to do this, but this method sure worked well for me. I LOVE the blades, and it feels like it helps brighten things up just a tad as well. The quality of the blades is very good, fairly thick vinyl feeling, had precut holes for the hinge bolts, and look better in person than the pictures.

I wish the JJP stuff were open sourced. Hack in Candy Man Can. Hack in real Veruca Salt. I doubt it will ever happen because the licensed IP probably comes with chains attached. But an unlicensed game? It would be awesome. So many talented pinheads can code...
