Yep, Im joining the Whitewater WTB club. I've been looking local and nothing has come my way. So, I'm asking my pinside brothers and sisters to help me find one. Something decent would be nice. Not collector quality , that's ok. I want to play it!

The reason Whitewaters are hard to find is that when people get one, they realise it's a faultless game, so they never want to sell it... good clean family fun, excellent strategy game, not too ugly, loads of ramps, great dots, great humour etc... Basically it's the best pinball in the world... Oh, and I forget to mention... I have a spare one to sell (wrong side of the pond for you tho I'm afraid...).

I know one in the Sacramento area owned by an operator, but it needs a lot of work.
I bet he would let it go for a grand.

Welcome to the club. I've been a member for about 6 months myself after playing one in great condition at Tatman's

Crazyflipperfinger, I'd love to check out that wh20. I'll pinside mail you. Thanks.

When I said he would probably take a grand for it I was very wrong. You got his number now, I wish you luck in making a deal, he is a nice guy. I think he also has a BSD.

I just want to say thanks to crazyfliprfinger for the great wh20 lead. If you ever need me to look at a pin here in sacto don't be afraid to ask. I owe you one. As for the pin, the owner was also a cool guy. He's not quite ready to sell but hopefully he will give me a call when he's ready.( I need to stop staring at my phone) The hunt continues......

I wouldn't say it's a perfect pin, but it certainly is very good.

Nordman is my favorite designer.

My comments were laced with a touch of sales pitch, I have to admit... but it is definitely one of my top 10 games of all time... which surprised me, because at the first few plays it seems just medeocre... and then you realise the strategy of using the 5x playfield, and the game changes totally into something strategical, compelling and addictive!

that wh20 is so nice id almost be afraid to play it. well actually i dont have 6 grand for it so....... off to the liquor store for some lotto tickets.

Quoted from CrazyFliprFingrs:

not quite ready to sell. he wants to maybe fix it up a little, play it for awhile then sell it. to be continued i guess.

I miss my WH20, and regret selling it to get a Spiderman. I sold SM to fund my AFM, but I only miss White Water and not Spiderman. One day I will add Wh20 back to the lineup, it's a great game.

#17 12 years ago

Lots of folks looking for a WH20 now days getting hard to find at a reasonable price. I love to play me some WH20 but starting to think I may have to wait a bit on one instead of focusing on trying to add just it. Lots of fun pins out there that is the good news!

#18 12 years ago

Don't want to jinx it but,...

Looks like a clean WH20 indeed. Are you gonna add that bad boy?? If so congrats looks great!

#20 12 years ago

UGGGHH this game sucks, why does everyone keep bringing it up?!

#21 12 years ago

Great game, I remember liking it when I was a kid. I finally played it again recently and I absolutely love it!!
