Congrats! Just got myself a WH2O a couple of weeks ago, and absolutely love it. Very addictive gameplay, great music, and satisfying shots. A b**** to clean though. 
Check to see if you have a Rottendog board in there; some of the boards need an upgrade for a couple of resistors to make the topper lights work.
Original boards... 3 games after set up Wet Willy was defeated. And no Mike, I was on factory defaults with no bread ties HA.
I was on my way home and I noticed my exhaust sounded quite loud. I look down and I see that my door ajar light is on. "Well shit!" I tried to get over to the shoulder but some joker was blocking my way. He is frantically waving at me and yelling for me to pull over. I am trying to guess why. Did I cut him off? Did he see my door wasn't securely latched? I pulled over and he jumped out really quick and said, "Hey do you collect pinball machines? I saw your bumper sticker decal and then I saw the machine in the back" He was trying to sell me an old wood rail from '52 I am not interested but if any one else is I have his number. Near Louisville.

just got mine (it's my only pinball so far) one month ago. Here in Europe they are waaay less expensive then in US (I paid equivalent of $850 for a fully functional one without topper, needs cleaning and divot repair). Great pin, great theme, deep set of rules. Enjoy
Congrats, NAVL should be at my house monday or tuesday w/ mine......can't wait. Just got the fedex boxes today w/ all the extras. Just having my morning coffee staring at the topper sitting on my kitchen table.... impatiently waiting for it's perch.

Europe is a big place. Can you point me in the right direction where to buy one for $850?
Quoted from gweempose:Congrats on the WH2O! Out of all the games I've sold, its the one I miss the most.
+1 which is why I went and got another one.
Quoted from futurepinhead:Okay give me some ideas to get my topper to work.
There's a seperate PCB inside the head (top left) that drives those lights. I'd check input and output voltages first. The bulbs are #194 or #161 (12v bulbs). If it has 555's up there they will blow fast.
If none of that works, I think there are two transistors that drive the circuit, so you would have to begin backtracking to those.

Yes, definitely check the bulb type. My topper was working, then went out. Sure enough, checked the bulbs and they were all 555s. Replaced with 194s and it works beautifully.
jk2171, So you just replaced them and they started working again?
The seller did say he replaced them awhile back but they worked fine for a couple years after that. On my next day off ( a week from now ) I will be looking to see what bulbs they are. I have a suspicion that they are 555s.
By the way Mike, if you are reading this thread and you are proud that your initials are on the picture as GC.... you have been replaced. 
Future...yep just replaced the bulbs and it started working. Hopefully it's that simple for you.
Also sent you a PM about the tftc LEDs you are selling.
1 week later
So THIS is Pintucky's White Water. I've played it, kicked his butt on the only game we played together on it. Don't really care for the color changing LEDs but to each his own. It will be fun to play your Junk Yard futurepinhead.
