Quoted from Kingjowjow:My other game I own has a little arm you use to hold up the playfield after you lift it, the White Water does not seem to have one and when I pull out the playfield it seems to slide really rough, just wood on metal, is this normal or is there a better way to lift up the playfield?
Since this wasn't mentioned in any replies I'll touch on it. First, please consult page 1-4 of your manual as it will explain the pivot mechanism used by Bally/Williams in games from this era. Hopefully all four pins are in place, you will need to check; any of the original grease that was on these dried up a long time ago; I would clean the remaining of it off and apply little synthetic grease to the slide rails, this will make it pull out with nearly no friction. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000XBH9HI/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1
