My deposit is in for an LE. This will be my second pin ever.

Any guess on what the armor color on the 3 versions will be? I would assume the standard will be stailess but what about the LE or CE? I really want a LE or CE but also have purple armor stuck in my head. I have a preorder for a CE with Automated but would probably revert to an LE if only the LE has purple armor. What color would you like to see? Do you expect the CE version to have any unique artwork features?
I currently have a CE on order but think I will revert back to an LE? What do you think? This will be my second pin (WOZ RR is my first). I like the blue armor on the LE better than the cand red on the CE. The gobstopper pull and topper are nice but not $3K nice. I am just having a hard justifying the extra $3K for a CE. What should I do?
I will be joining the club after all! I had a CE on order right when the game was launched but tired of waiting and ended up getting a Jurassic Park LE instead (great choice). With the inventory of new Wonka machines almost completely gone, we decided to order a LE from Automated services. I am really excited to get the game, especially with the new code. I do think that I am going to need to sell my Cactus Canyon LE spot to make room for it though.
What inner art blades have people installed on their LEs? I have not really seen any that I like.
Automated services still has a few. I just ordered one this week from them.

Quoted from hiker2099:I really think Wonka is going to be JJPs best shooter for a very long time. I gave up my GnRLE, Loved playing it but it grew a little stale on me. Not Wonka. Every time I think about selling it, I hit up a game and instantly change my mind.
Dialed in is their best shooter, I just really hate the theme.
Quoted from Pinkitten:Automated was terrific for me. My Wonka arrived safely today, just 4 days after placing my order. The only “issue” I’ve noticed on my example (Nov, 21 build) is a tiny bit of cab decal wrinkling around the flipper buttons. I’ll remove the buttons, apply some heat and smooth that down. Should be non issue. Otherwise, plays great out of the box. I turned my flipper power up a couple points, but I might go back down. The ramps seem super easy to make. Maybe my pitch isn’t steep enough yet. Is slightly steeper than 6.5 recommended on this game?
I wish I was as lucky! At no fault of Automated, ABF delivered my Wonka LE to the wrong location! Not sure how that can happen. How does someone sign for a pin if they are not expecting one. Apparently they picked it back up on Friday. Hopefully it is not damaged and we get it next week. Fingers crossed!!!
Quoted from naf_llabnip:Folks, has anyone heard anything from Tilt Topper in recent history? I ordered a Wonka topper in mid Feb, sent an inquiry in March and got a nice response from Dan that they were backed up (no problem!) and taking 3-4 weeks to produce the product. We got into April and I sent another message, and never heard back. And now I have sent ANOTHER message in May and not heard back. I really DO want the topper badly, but at some point if I have not heard from a company in over two months it becomes time to contact my credit card company and take action. I know this is pinball and patience is required for these small shops to produce, so if anyone knows if these guys are truly reputable then I'll stop my bitchin' and chill out a few more weeks
I ordered a TSPP topper March 9th and have not received it. I have not sent them a status request but might do that later this week. I still am looking for a topper for our Wonka LE. I don't want one with Gene Wilder on is as his photo is already prominent on the back glass of the LE.
Has anyone else had a problem with the Wonka Factory LEDs not working correctly? The K in our machine often displays the wrong color. I have submitted a ticket with JJP. Hopefully they can get it corrected for me.
Quoted from zaphX:Pretty sure the lightboard in the tower needs replacement.
Thanks, they are sending me a new one under warranty.

We got the new replacement Wonka Factory LED board today. Installed it and everything works as expected! If you end up needing to replace yours, the smoke stack does not need to come off. The base plastic comes off and then you can disconnect the data cable, remove two screws holding the PCBA in place and then swap out the PCBA. This is was the one I removed looks like.

I was not expecting it but, man, what a fun mode! I felt like a little kid when it started! That Wonkavator golden ticket #5 is tough to get (at least it is for me) so I'm glad JJP designed this Most Secret Machine mode as it may be as far as I ever progress. I'll keep trying, though!!
Congrats! I got to the Most Secret machine MB last night for the first time. It is a really fun mode!

If anyone does it would be Mike at Automated Services. Give them a call but it is listed as in stock. I got mine from him.

Quoted from Rager170:I have these on my machine and love them.
Would you post a picture with them installed? I don’t like how they look along but they might look better installed.
Quoted from seenev:I need to replace the factory tower pcb. Has anyone done that? How much do I have to remove to get in there.
Are the LEDs not working? I replace the light board in mine and it was not too bad. I don’t recall the procedure but it was different than I expected.
