I am possibly joining this club on Thursday. I did a trade with cash for my walking dead. The photos looked great so I’m hoping for the best!!

Can anyone take a photo of the original rocker on/off switch for me? Want to see if this one was replaced or not. I want to get the game as close to original as possible. The line cord was also not original...there were no hacks I could see in the game which is good besides what i think was the on/off switch under the cabinet. Thanks!

Ah looks like a Normal Star post. I think I may have a spare laying around! Thank you!
Quoted from SantaEatsCheese:Just joined the club with a solid players machine. Looking forward to spiffing it up on a budget. Starting out with caninet paint touch ups.[quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from jawjaw:Had an opportunity to get a nice Whitewater and couldn't pass it up. Always loved this game. Great to finally own one![quoted image]

Ok so I added those two post next to the front bumper. My question is though in a lot of pictures, I see some people put a single rubber on each post, and some machines I see a 1 1/4” rubber across the two post. The manual shows a rubber across the two post. (I think lol) Can anyone clarify?

I did notice more sound effects from that switch being hit more. Not sure how many games without being hit before the credit dot would appear, but the ball does work it’s way up in there from underneath fairly often. Especially during multiballs, when one might miss seeing it get hit.
Without the rubber installed, the ball does go to the right more towards the outlane. However, most times it shoots the ball back into the center of the playfield, instead of down the Outlane. The pops shoot it off the rubber on the right where the switch is and creates great action.
With the rubber in, and when the ball would go “under” the boulders and hit the installed rubber ring on its bottom side, it would deaden the ball and the ball would slowly trickle to the post between the inlane and outlane. This created a stressful nudging situation that was 50/50 at best. More times than not it would drain out.
Before the “experiment”, I assumed having the rubber ring in would lead to more pop bumper action. Both ways seemed to have about the same pop action.
* With the ring, short, fast ball movement between the pops
* Without the ring, more variety and still fast ball movement.
Having the ring removed gave the game greater ball movement and variety to overall play without any increased frustration with outlane drains. Game is way more enjoyable without the ring.
I got my game a few weeks back and noticed these 2 holes were open and no post...I thought maybe who ever shopped the game forgot to put them back on lol...I ended up ordering from Marco both post and the rubber kit for the game...I may just remove them again after all!
Can anyone tell me why some PF's have a red Ball Save Insert and others have a Yellow? I've noticed in the gallery, games have either or...I was just curious if this had something to do with the time frame the PF was made..thanks!
Ok what’s the trick to getting out the whirlpool ramp? I need to put two screws into the ramp underneath it and can’t get this thing off for anything. It appears attached to the upper playfield somehow?
