Welcome to the club! You need to work on making the leds tasteful, looking rough.
Luckily it's an easy job!

Quoted from Billy16:So if I understand correctly, if you have 5X running as you start multiball there is no reason to try for a double or triple jackpot--just hit the singles?
There are no doubles or triples, just 5x.
Edit: but after 5x is over, there WILL be doubles or triples, whatever you hit out of the first 3
Quoted from lpeters82:I'm a new owner. Is anyone else a bit annoyed that the default action for the Whirlpool / Bigfoot's Cave shot is to divert the ball into the Whirlpool? Seems like that one change would have greatly improve the flow on the game. For a game about rafting down a river, I want to keep the flow.
Uh oh "new guy" is here to fix everything! 
Just to be clear, you want the modes to start on the fly with no time for the game to explain what is going on?

Quoted from Billy16:Anyone have a tip or an adjustment that will keep the ball from going SDTM after passing thru the secret passage?
Jiggle the machine or slap the side of the cab is the only easy thing I can think of if it's level all around.
Other than that it might involve getting back into the are and adjusting some metal guide action?

Quoted from mbeardsley:Back in the day, the arcade that I played at had a WH20 like that.
Also helped by the fact the put too large mini post rubber often in that area.
Quoted from Marten:Btw. I never shoot for the RIVER targets. Too dangerous.
That's what I was getting at, buuuut if that 3rd lock is lit you don;t want to bounce it in there by accident. Chasing a level 2 or 3 MB...now THAT sucks

Quoted from arcadenerd925:Alright club, I could use another pair of eyes on this issue. I am wrapping up my restoration and I am finding that when whirlpool is lit, I am getting phantom whirlpool mode starts.
Some things to note:
- When I get a phantom whirlpool mode start, the big foot diverter does not fire. So I feel like that rules out both switches associated with the upper whirlpool ramp.
- The above lead me to wonder if the issue is where the ball drops into the subway and trips the opto. Upon inspection, the metal piece where the opto is attached seems to not be very secure, so I used a zip tie to better hold it in place:

However, the issue still persisted. I did some more play testing and found that hitting it in the pops and the slings seemed to draw the most phantom whirlpool mode starts.
Next, I unplugged the above noted opto and play tested again. The issue stopped.
Dirty opto? This thing did sit in my parts bin for a month in the garage.
Let me know if there is anything else I should consider. Will try cleaning them tomorrow.
Well it's obviously the opto. Look at the connections, Make sure the solder isn't screwy on there and not touching. Clean the optos.
But why is the metal piece loose? That woudl make me think it's moving around when it shouldn't be doing weird shit...like when the pop vibrate it

Quoted from arcadenerd925:Speaker lights in WH20... Thoughts?
Awful.
Quoted from arcadenerd925:I figure since mine is already rather blingy, why not go all out, lol.
Cringe-worthy

Quoted from WH20_Buzz:You all have short Memory's....Way back when and before we had the notion of Shrinkflation, a standard game was 5 Balls.
This way way before WH20 came on the scene.
They went from 5 Balls down to 3 instead of increasing the price...Something of an expensive Coin slot update at the time.
Then came the increases to where we are now $2 for 3 Balls.
I have always had my games on 5 balls and if you think 3 Balls is the norm then you also have no idea of how you have all bean Conned just like what the FED is doing now printing Money back by ZERO.
Time to make a stand against this shit
Uhhhhhhhh....ok?
