He must be using “tasteful” LEDs. Not all need to be color.

Quoted from osver:The before and after of my Hook.[quoted image]
I bought a White Water years ago that looked exactly like your before photo. Turned out to be an absolute gem underneath!
Im thinking about busting out my nos hook playfield and get a list together for all new hardware. I know a couple people were asking for some pics of the pf. Juat let me know what pics you would like to see. By chance has anyone came across new stand up targets (3 bank) they are clear. Ive been on the hunt every day for well over a year and still trying to find a few things. This machine sure is a tough one
Quoted from Freeplay40:I bought a White Water years ago that looked exactly like your before photo. Turned out to be an absolute gem underneath!
It's amazing how well that dust, from being stored with no playfield glass, can protect the art underneath.
The service records I found in it stopped in '99, so it may have sat for 20 years before I got to it.
Going to order the 5.01 ROMs from Matt’s Basement today, a couple questions about the rule changes.
Now that the drop targets increase the ramp value and shooting the ramp does not increase the value, do the insert lights still progressively move up as you hit the drop targets?
In multiball, does hitting the weapon targets still increase the jackpots or are they only increased each time they are collected?
Is the right ramp to left ramp to VUK combo still the same? Didn’t see anything about it in the rules, only played a dozen times so far but that’s one of my favorite things to do in the game. Thanks

Yes the drop targets increase the windcoaster value and the light up the ship in order. Every drop target hit will increase. Once you get it to 3 million it will increase by 1 million per drop target hit and will max out at 15 million. You can hit the windcoaster up to 3 consecutive times then it will reset. The combo shot is still in there and will give you 5 million upon completing. Weapon targets still increase jackpot.

Sounds great, can’t wait to try the new code out!
Quoted from Parkshow30:Sounds great, can’t wait to try the new code out!
On the old code i believe you could spam windcoaster. The new code is definitely a more balanced game as far as scoring goes in my opinion. If you got the money to spend i would not hesitate on getting a pinsound board for the custom sound and speech from the movie. Makes it a completly different game
Played the new code for a couple games tonight. Have it set to tournament mode. I really enjoy it. Huge improvement for the game. With this code and the price point the game is at right now it’s got to be one of the best values in pinball for pure fun.
One question, I was reading that there are victory laps in this game, how do you get to them and what do you get out of them? I got victory laps on Jurassic Park once while playing on location but don’t remember what I did to get it. Thanks

Victory lap comes up when you reach the replay value. Hit the ramp to collect if i remember correctly 15 mil.
Not sure if this would come up if you have it in tournament mode
So I had a light not working on my hook it was the 20 million arrow in front of the skull scoop simple fix replace the diode now it works but when I turn the machine on now all of the playfield lights come on the back box lights come on the + 5 LED comes on on the CPU board and nothing else happens no DMD display and the game does not boot please help I have no idea where to begin
Also before I replace the diode on that 20 million aerolite everything worked perfectly fine on hook except for that one light absolutely no issues at all
Also before I replace that diode on the 20 million light everything on the machine worked perfectly fine no problems whatsoever except for that one light
I was just doing that and double-checked the diode to make sure it was the correct way and I see nothing wrong in that area the power supply is directly below that on the floor of the cabinet with the play field in the up position when I soldered the diode on and I see no solder on it or on the floor of the cabinet anywhere and I see nothing burnt or shorted wires in that entire area
When you turn the game on, does the sound just say "hook"? Or does it say nothing?
Check all the fuses and fuse holders on the power supply (upper left)
Also the two fuses mounted on the backbox underneath the power supply you will see two bridges there also
I would bet the one that Might be bad is a 1/2 amp, I believe it's f7 on the power supply, but check them all anyways
the multimeter says the F1 fuse is no good it's 7amp 250 volts I checked all the rest of them and the multimeter says they're good
Well I went got a new fuse put it in turn the game on and it took it about 1 second to blow that fuse to luckily I got a two pack
F1 and f2 are for the 5v regulator. What was the diode number you put in?
That's the only thing that changed
Quoted from TheCapn:Clear coated playfield. Game turned out great!
Seen your three bank targets were clear yellow. Looked good. Where did you find them

So after doing a lot of research online I decided to take my power supply board out cuz I had no + 5 + no + 12 at the test points and I checked the bridge rectifier and I have a short in it on the side of the rectifier and says cm3501 where should I get a new one also checked the cap C2 and it checked fine checked the fuse clips and they seemed fine I also seen no burnt pins on the board
Found new BR at Marco should I get the cm3501 or the cm3504?
That's was going to be my next suggestion, to check the bridge. The 3501 would be fine. I think you are on the right track
