My wh20 ramp mod.

Fixed

Wow. Is this a kit?

Nice work! What triggers the LED strip when you make the waterfall shot?

The gate at the peak of the ramp.

U can get from pinsider lyonsden.

It is Pinduino

The kit is undergoing further refinement on my machine.

Nice! Dantesmark looks awesome
Wonder if pinstadium could integrate something like this being that they run the length of the playfield could be really cool!

Free White Water decals. Cleaning out my parts bin and found these from an old project. Free to first response via PM.

That was quick. Already gone.

Removed dome to replace 3 burned out bulbs...decided to leave it off....it’s like wearing a pair of loose fitting shorts with no underwear on! Haha!

Does anyone else leave their game with the dome off?

I leave the dome on, but not screwed down
Recently, I lowered the chase lamps a tad (so they are a little more hidden behind the black bar) by replacing the black plastic spacers under the boards with mini post rubbers.

Ok...what’s the trick to getting bulbs out of the topper. I have 3 over them burnt out, and they are super snug. I can’t get them pulled out, as I am being overly cautious to not have hand slip and hit the plastic topper. Any suggestions?

I would remove the whole board?

Use your hands...start with the fingers.

If you've got a spare shooter tip, slide that over the bulb and pull.

Thank you all for the suggestions...most useful idea was Bryan suggesting the use of the shooter rod rubber tip. I now have a fully cascading waterfall....Time to go see Willie!

Did you use Purple Power on the bigfoot fur? Any issue with it? I am a big fan of purple power but I am a little afraid to use on bigfoot since he is irreplaceable.

FYI, several posts back someone was asking about flue for the bigfoot fur onto the hands. I found a really good fabric glue at Home Depot. Believe it was in same section as gorilla glue, locktight, etc.

I used Dawn dish soap in a bowl of warm water and gently used a tooth brush to clean the fur. Blow dry when done. Hair gel is optional.

I always used Purple Power on cleaning Big Foots. Just rinse well. I also used to use contact cement to reattach his fur.

Where did you get the skull mountain and missing mountain mode. Thats the best one i've seen yet.

Skull from pinball decals (eyes have leds)
Mountain from pinball center in Germany. I had to get that shipped to a fellow pinsider in canada and have him forward to me since pinball center wont ship to US anymore.

I get it. In the picture it looks like all one piece. Those two mods look better together than anything else i've seen.

Some would disagree, but personally it almost seems like they were supposed to come with the game out of the box! I like them a lot!

I used Loctite "Vinyl, Fabric & Plastic Flexible Adhesive" to reattach the hand fur on my Bigfoot. Seems to have done the trick.

Some things I learned about Painting Bigfoot:

(1) Prep the surface. If you water down Elmer's glue and brush on a very thin layer, you'll get better paint adhesion. The thin ("wash") layer of glue will dry clear. Put on a few coats to prep the surface and the paint will stick better. I learned this from reading about model painters who paint on vinyl figures.

(2) Use acrylic paint. I tried model glue at first and this failed. It wouldn't dry. Acrylic paint works great.

(3) Matching the color for Bigfoot's beard. I was also able to get a "dead-on" match for repainting Bigfoot's beard by mixing black and white acrylic paint. Grey can be a very complex color to match if anything other than simple black and white are used to make the original color you're trying to match to. For example, let's say the original grey you want to match to has blue and yellow mixed in to make it more of greenish grey. That can be very tough to match! Luckily, Bigfoot's beard is just a straight up mix of black and white so you can mix up the black and white paint until you get a nice visual match. Another suggestion is to make sure you experiment some to make sure your paint matches WHEN DRY because wet paint may not always look the same color when dry. This can be frustrating when mixing small amounts of paint because by the time your test dries the paint you mixed up to do your test has also dried, so you have to mix the paint all over again and hope you get it the same. I was patient with this and got Bigfoot's beard to match perfectly. The new and old paint blended together seamlessly.

(4) Stop the beard from getting worn down again. The reason the beard color gets word off is that when Bigfoot's head spins his beard rubs up against the fur on his hands. The best way I found to prevent the wear this was to extend the bumper that his log mech rests on so that the beard no longer rubs up against his hands when his head spins. This mech bumper is located directly down below Bigfoot's hands, close to the lower playfield. If I remember right I cut a small rubber ring in half and somehow affixed that to the black rubber bumper. That way, Bigfoot's log doesn't rest quite so close to his head, and when his head spins around his beard doesn't rub up against his hands anymore.

I think I did my fix 4 or 5 years ago and Bigfoot's beard is still great.

Hey WH2O friends, I want to get the two rafts that look like they are floating down the ramps. I did a quick search of this thread and didn't come up with anything. Does anyone know where I can get them? I also would like to get the bear that goes over the left ramp entrance. I think I remember reading somewhere that it can be bought at Hobby Lobby, does that sound right?

https://www.pinballdecals.com/WH20_RaftSetPage.html

You can find the bear at Michael's. You have to find a way to mount it to the the ramp too. They have these little metal "L" mounts in the picture framing department that work pretty good. I have mixed feelings about the bear but he does hide that switch on the Spine Chiller so I guess he's okay.

I believe the original maker also sells them on eBay for cheaper (or used to). If I remember right they are a Judge Dred mod.

Thanks for the link, they are proud of those things! $75 for two little rafts, I might not like them as much as I did before I saw the price!

I found them, thanks for the heads up, about 50% cheaper, I can live with that price, but $75 seems ridiculous to me

ebay.com link: WHITEWATER White Water Pinball RAFT SET Mod

Cool, I might have to make a stop at Michaels this weekend!

Wow, that is quite a difference in price for the exact same thing.

I think you are referring to the rafts, yes a HUGE difference! The one from ebay comes from the UK and even includes free shipping! Talk about the other place trying to take advantage of someone!

Has anyone installed these blade decals from Pingraffix on their game and have pics? Unfortunately his site doesn't show any installed pics. I wouldn't mind getting a set, but not sure how they will look on the game.
