I built a Whitewater from parts.. it's not new.. And missing the waterfall effect on the topper.. But it ran under 4k.
I was able to get decent chunks of used parts for way less than buying individually.. that's probably a key part.
Quoted from lordloss:Assuming I have a good resource for all the wires needed for a WPC harness, how much would you spend on a new harness?
I wired a playfield.. i think it was close to $400 in wire (matching colors)
I doubt wire harnesses would be cheap to assemble. I did mine in about a month, run a couple every night. Williams documentation is great.
Quoted from bigguybbr:You end up paying for the experience of building it yourself.
Yah, if you can score some parts or have a cheap donor to get started for a reasonable price, it's doable for a reasonable cost.. ignoring your own time.
