Yes, myself and phil teamed up here to solve the trough problem. I made a much more reliable and easily serviceable board for the long term. All plate through parts and much larger pads for the optos to withstand vibration. We've been testing them over the last year with some jjp owners and i got 100 made which were shipped to Phil early july. Available via mr Palmer @philpalmer
@philpalmer
I had one fitted in my Wonka.
Excellent product from Jim , as always.

Check your coil stops everyone.... lol
All sorted now, came apart in bottom of cab but easy sorted.
Also getting 50/50 success as switch not registering ball in the scoop since receiving pin - started getting annoying so to sort this...
- lift playfield
- remove the coil with the two rods going into the guitar head lock just beneath the scoop from underside playfield - Hex screws holding into playfield
- unscrew the two small screws into micro switch
- push micro switch as far up into the scoop hole as it will go, I stuck my hand around the playfield side and pulled it up into place whilst screwing the switch back with the two small
screws
- Make sure the VUK clears it otherwise you will destroy the switch
- Put things back together
100% success in the scoop

you need to bend the scoop if you are getting SDTM. Or try upping the power (if you can not sure if its possible).

rarely, mostly it lands low on the left flipper
What are people doing regarding posts/washers ?
I've noticed some metal and plastic washers on my CE - are we all starting from the same position, or are there differences between the models or even within the same model ?
Thanks

You have a CE @Julian Hepworth
I think you will need to replace the posts at the pop bumpers with the longer ones that Phil has sent out.
But leave the T nuts in.
but @Julian, @Pick Holder @CHRIS B PINBALLS have more knowledge on this than me

Thanks Dave - does that imply LEs need a different approach ?
I think the CE’s were made a while ago. This batch of LE’s were made after and I think have some of the learns applied to them.
im sure my Posts at the bumpers have had loctite applied - they are longer posts with nylon nut on the bottom. - can’t get them out at all.
@Julian got his posts at the bumpers out and took the T nut out then put in longer post and nut- but playfield has chipped. So leave T nut in.

Pinside shows a lot of pooling at the outlanes also.
Loosen the 2 screws for the scoop hood and rotate the hood as far as it can go, so that the ball ejects to the left flipper
Thanks will do
I am actually fitting something on the games now nobody else is doing.
Doing 2 more GnR's tomorrow so I can post photos.

This is my solution ,after 100 games something had to be done .First noticed the post next to the bumper had chipping,having asked @Tec Team for a pic of his it was apparent mine had a rubber missing from the post from new.anyway it led to me doing all the posts in that area.This is stainless washer with rubber base.Thanks to all before me for the ironing advice etc
