Good morning,
I’m working on restoring a whitewater and during my quick play test, I noted the ball,
Once it goes into the whirlpool, doesn’t make it all the way to the VUK. The original playfield had just a big screw which actually came through the playfield to support the subway. I used a spacer PN 03-8371. Didn’t see any specific mount parts in the manual for the subway. Is this the correct one to use, or should it be shorter to increase the angle and give the ball a little more speed to make it to the VUK. Game is currently at 6.6 degrees measured at the playfield.

My wife did make it one time to the VUK, but mainly the ball just sits at the turn.

Thank you,

You were right, getting my flashlight, I could see it just barley stopping at the turn. Could push it ever so and it would go past. I thought it wasn’t going fast enough to make the turn. Seems the new subway is a little thicker and I had to open up the area just a bit for ball clearance. So that is fixed.

Now it seems the hot foot targets (both of them) aren’t registering in game play or test mode. Not sure if they ever did work before I did the playfield swap since most of the bulbs were burned out before as well as few others. Need to sort that out next.

Yep, that’s exactly what it was doing and what I bought. I widened the plastic and tightened down the screws. Seems to be working. May actually ahve to shave a bit down, or reuse the old subway as you did. Right now it is okay testing correctly after that adjustment.

I will have to mention this to my fired who I just restored his white water for. Great effect, I really like it. I did something Like this on my old earthshaker, but with palm trees. Nice job.

And in my opinion since this is what I did, gloss white powder coat with something called “crushed glass” looks great on this pin.
