JJP's Butch Peel explains Wizard of Oz playfield underside: LEDs, coils, magnets, motors, and switch systems.
Synopsis
Butch Peel from Jersey Jersey Jack Pinball provides an educational underside tour of The Wizard of Oz playfield, explaining the key mechanical and electronic systems including RGB LED lighting controlled by circuit boards, solenoids/coils that power mechanical actions, magnets for ball control and holding, motors for animated features (witch movement, Munchkinland house rotation), and various switch types (microswitches, target switches, rollover switches, optos) that detect ball position and impacts. The video is the third in a series intended to build foundational knowledge before deeper technical dives into specific systems.
