White Water
Williams, 1993Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to let you guys know that Canada Post has been on strike since last Monday.
Apparently this is a 'rotating strike', so it's more of a slow-down than a full stoppage of service.
Either way, if you have placed a recent order, they have been mailed, but they may take slightly longer than the usual 7-10 business days that is the norm for Canada to US letter mail.
Sorry for any delay you may experience

My plastic has been arrived.
Quoted from Ericpinballfan:Mine arrived in great shape and timing.
Thanks for making this mod!
Mine too. Thanks again
As a "mod" this is one that when I look at my machine, it doesn't look like a mod. It looks like it was supposed to be there from the factory. Hence the "missing plastic" name, no doubt.
If you have a White Water and don't have this plastic, your machine isn't complete.....

Totally agree. I agree so much I just bought one

Years ago there was a guy that made a ramp cover that fixes that problem by keeping the ball down in the ramp. It looked like this. It also helped correct broken out mount points for the switch.
Any idea who was selling them?
Quoted from Yesh23:Any idea who was selling them?
No. This was back in 2007. Maybe the guy will pop up here. You can make it yourself. It doesn't have to be perfect. It's hidden under the mountains. Or find some guy who makes protectors and have him cut you one. I have a pdf of that sketch. PM me and I can email it to you.
On my game I just raised up the switch a bit. Just loosen the two small screws on the switch body and push the switch as far up as it'll go. Then tighten it about halfway and try passing a ball through. If you don't hear the switch 'click', drop the front a little until it does.
I think I also put a few washers or spacers between the switch bracket and ramp to raise it a tiny bit more.
Quoted from Yesh23:Anyone have any recommendations for me? 35% of the time I go up Big Foot Bluffs my ball comes back down. It's hitting the top of the switch (I have circled in white). I didn't know what the easiest fix for this would be?

I believe I got a plastic from Pinbits that fixed this a couple of years ago. Think it was this one, but seems it's out of stock:

Thank you

Remove the right most spacer and replace it with a post rubber ring. Now, tighten the ball guide down until you hit the rubber ring. This will route the ball under the switch. You can use a ruler to test the angle and see that the ball is brought down below the switch.
Plastic arrived yesterday - Thanks Drano! Glad you still had a few left. It really completes the game and very easy to install.
Quoted from Drano:Just took a count and I'm down to my last 8 pieces... plus a small handful of seconds.
Check your mail please, I want one if there is still some left.
Added over 4 years ago:Edit: have anyone successfully got in contact with Drano after his last post 3 months ago? Seems like several people, including me, have tried to contact him without any response.
Anyone have any luck getting a hold of Draino recently? I sent him a message on pinrev yesterday. Haven't heard back yet but what about Newhollend2, you send a message 11 months ago, did you get a reply?
Sorry guys. I've been out of the pinball scene for a while and can't remember the last time I posted. I just logged in to list a game for sale and figured I'd catch up on my PM's and old threads.
I can't get these plastics in volume anymore but I have a small batch for a few of you die-hard WH20 fans that still want one.
They're a bit more spendy so I'm charging $50 (shipped mainland N. A.)
Shoot me a PM if interested.
Thanks.
