Hoping someone can help me out...I am potentially joining the club soon and need to know the max height of the machine folded (no legs). My Ford Explorer at times can be the worst pin hauler as the height on the tailgate opening is less than other, smaller SUVs I've had. I've moved Stern, BW (Indiana Jones), and others no issue but I think maybe this would be a bit taller and don't want to drive three hours and come home empty handed. 
Any help is appreciated!
Quoted from LTG:If you can get that in there, Wonka is fine.

My concern was more the height...

I hope so.
I know when I loaded a DESW it was a SUPER tight fit for some reason. Really weird.
My buddy does these and they are STUNNING.
Totally getting one when someone finally sells me a Wonka SE!

Quoted from paulbaptiste:Welcome to the club!
The only must is adding some lighting. Game is too dark. I added 3 spotlights and made the game much more enjoyable.
Could you take some pics of where you put them and how you did it? I definitely noticed it being dark..thanks!
Quoted from LTG:Lots of how to videos out there. Compare to your skill set to decide.

If you want to plug both dongles into the USB cable by the cashbox, get the USB Hub too.

Stupid question- if I just want to upgrade via WiFi do I just need the first item? Is this plug and play or...?
Quoted from paulbaptiste:Right now I have two , double spotlights on the slingshots and an LED strip above the back of the playfield. I can take some pics if how they are wired up over the next few days.

Put spotlights on my machine...but stupid question, where do you wire them to? I found some gi lights that should work but they are of course not soldered but connectors. So curious to see how you did yours. Many thanks!
Quoted from Lermods:Gi lighting and the spotlights are 5v on wonka. Been a while since I’ve checked that, but pretty sure it is.
So what’s the best way to tap into the gi? I’d hate to splice into a line but seems that would be best or...?

Where is the best place to get a really good rule set? Trying to figure out how to get Golden Tickets...

Having an issue on my Wonka where a ball will drain then get stuck at the end of the trough instead of rolling to meet the other balls in the trough. This happens frequently, like once every 2-3 games. Any cures for this? It seems so odd to me. Doesn't appear to be a ball magnetization issue...and I have cleaned the trough.
