Quoted from dougram69:

I am about to undertake this task shortly and plan on documenting the whole process for youtube viewers. It took me 20 years to find all the NOS parts for WWH2O. I hade to sit and wait for years to find NOS complete ramp assemblies. This was only possible when the Canadian arcade guys bought out an operator and he happened to have all the NOS ramp assemblies in a box. Wound up buying the whole lot but it was the only way to get the ramps I needed. Along the way I picked up an nos Bigfoot assembly but it cost me big. I got lucky with an NOS waterfall assembly when IPB had one left. Then one year I found NOS playfields I got from Dennis directly at the Milwaukee show. A little bit here and there when they showed up.
I am personally doing this out of love for the game. Others have tried to duplicate the waterfall header with no true success. Unless Chicago Gaming figures this out it will be tough because of the unique parts needed. Your best bet is to find a decent used game and make it as good as possible with the current parts available. It’s a great playing game and as some others have said looks like a diorama under glass. Is it the best game, no, but a great difficult game that can kick your ass sometimes.
Thanks

Please document that here as well, would love to follow along
