How mad do you fancy going? If you're not going to be doing it yourself it might work out a bit expensive, on the other hand if you are DIY'ing, be prepared to take a while to do it so you end up with a good job. If it's just the flippers your worried about, perhaps all you need is a bit of a strip, deep clean and buff, overhaul flippers, new rubber and an LED upgrade (if you like them of corse) and Bob's your uncle and Fannies your aunt. One great game in slick condition with not much expense and not to much time.

Enjoy.

One of the most satisfying games to restore - I'm on my 3rd right now.

Ramps can be found at most vendors, and they all are usually the same price. I compare shipping costs, and go with the lowest. Same for the repro PFs. I got mine for about 800 if I remember correctly. Just be aware there are a few differences between NOS and repro. Some people care, some don't.

Chrome trim (or not) is personal and up to you. For me I cannot stand it. Some polished (or grained) stock trim is all I need.

Pinball life for the flipper rebuilds.

If you are looking for someone to restore the game, just be prepared to spend a good amount. WH2O is NOT a cheap game to restore. The ramp set alone is 600 bucks or so, mountains are 120, etc...

Make sure you get the correct coils for flippers as the right & left are diff'rent.

I'm thinking this might be in the wrong forum.... Might be better if you ask a mod to move it.

Mirco has the playfields, but note they have an error in the artwork that you would have to fix if you want it 100%:

Not the easiest but not the worst. You'll just be taking the upper playfield off anyway if you are going to be replacing ramps so you can get to it then.

I think this too!
