So I've seen these clubs formed in the forum, SS ,Star Trek , etc..... I cant resist forming this one.WH2O is IMO still extremely underrated. I've owned mine longer than most of my pins . I have all the pieces to do a restore on it but I cant bring myself to starting the process due to the fact I love playing it.
Been to Wet Willie's ,Still haven't got Vacation Planner.
Quoted from BR80:What is she saying when the ball drops out of the upper to lower ramp
Don't feel bad took me a while to figure it out also.
I have to admit when I first got it ,didn't think it had sustainability.Now It will be my last to leave.
Quoted from Vans:What is this pin worth these days? I have an opportunity to buy one that is in half decent shape for $3,500.
3500
Quoted from BillP:I have a nice one in Cleveland for sale $4100. Cash and carry only.
Fantastic game, my favorite but I have 2 and need to sell one (keeping my original HUO of course
Bill
Bill,Ive already worked out a solution for your space issue. 
Quoted from Iamdarras:Ok here is a few if my sweet wh2o!
I have both the white and the brown replacement mountains,and a Bumble(I know I have issues).
not sure which I'll do on my restore.
Quoted from Jam_Burglar:Here's my White Water. I'm still working on getting things just right.
The chrome looks great.
Quoted from smassa:Picked up a HEP WH2O from a pinsider earlier this year. Has quickly become one if my all time favorites.
Gotta love iphone photos
Would love to know what you paid for it. Whitewater is one of the more expensive pins to restore.
Quoted from blimpey:I copied this idea from someone who I had seen add this to the waterfall topper a number of years ago.
Is that a Harry and the hendersons Bigfoot ? Looks great
Quoted from doro-mini:Please look at second picture
No need to be depressed. It can be a great pin and there are plenty of pinheads here who will help guide you along.
EDIT,:that looks like a great example of WH2O
Just play it for a while ,Enjoy it as is ,toy with adjusting the levelers to see if that has an effect.
Quoted from wiggy07:do you ever bust your bulb with the ball
No I have not.
Quoted from doro-mini:The kind of the light bulb is different
That's a frosted LED. WH2O was one of my first machines. I really haven't done much with it outside of playing it. I threw a few LED's in it when I first got it (they look like crap).I have everything I need to do a nice restoration on it but I cant bring myself to take it out of my line-up
Quoted from tracelifter:magnet sends the ball SDTM.
All my games have this feature,still trying to figure out how to turn it off. 
Quoted from ChrisBardon:Hey, random question-has anyone else had a problem with the bulb right in front of bigfoot
Discussed on page 4
Quoted from Deaconblooze:Has anyone had any luck getting a refund from Twisted Pins?
I asked for a refund a few months back and received it .
Quoted from Drano:WH2O was my first true full restoration project
One of my favorite threads, You did an excellent job.
Tryristor went and it sat for a bit. Put it in the shop fixed it and played it a bit more. Realized it need shopped/ restored ,its tired. So I folded it up. I have three pins in restoration right now and can't get to it so. It sits 
Wh2o is my favorite pin, I will be patient and give it the attention it deserves in due time
Quoted from King_Lauw:Yesterday I did a trade. I left the ST:TNG club and may now join the WH20 club It's an pretty early production I think? 28-dec-1992. A bit dirty but in good condition I guess. I will clean it, buy a Boulder Garden rock, 2 green lock targets and maybe an led-kit. Also the DMD is pretty noisey but still works fine.

images-543.jpegQuoted from Jam_Burglar:A few months back a did some tweaking to my Bigfoot so that his chin wouldn't rub his hands and wear off the paint. I also got his chin repainted and have info on the paint type and colors. Anybody interested in the details of stuff like this?
Yes
Quoted from hardware:Had to sell the first WH2O due to space restrictions. Bought a keeper the second time.

Quoted from Mattman55:Does anyone recommend changing the Lost Mine kickout coil from a AE-23-800 to a weaker coil AE-23-1200?
Are you worried about wear?
Quoted from DK:I just tossed a "what's it worth" thread. I'd appreciate if you guys can chime in. Looking to sell it soon.

Is that missing the dome?
Quoted from mot:I've been waiting so long to join, and I am finally a member! Time to go back to the top of this thread and read through it!
Enjoy it TOM! Vacation Planner is a great journey.
Ive struggled with the conversion to winter . It looks great (eye candy) but it does mess up the theme.
Blackbeard,
I will be getting back my original in a month(plan to restore it). I have a very nice one(restored by others) in my line up that will go up for sale. So if nothing comes about in the next few months , theres still hope.
Quoted from Blackbeard:How the hell does one light RIVER 5 times without losing a ball?!!! Crazy..
And that is what makes Vacation planner so challenging .
Quoted from PjM:So, white and blue 194s for the topper! Alternating !
thats what i did
Quoted from Blackbeard:Anyone have any issues with the ball trough on their wh20? Sometimes the balls don't register as drained unless I whack the side of the cab. Im pretty sure it's not switch related, but that the balls aren't rolling onto the switches perfectly every time. I took it apart and cleaned it, but still every once and awhile I have to shake/whack the cab a bit to have the ball hit a trough switch to register as drained.
Anyone?
Quoted from KingDaddy:Not on my Wh20, but it happens on my WW occasionally. A little shake solves it, and their doesn't appear to be anything wrong with the switch etc.
Quoted from Blackbeard:I don't think it's flakey switches. I've run tests and they seem to work fine.
I can almost hear the ball move a bit when I shake the side of the cab. It sounds like it drops into place a bit and hits the switch.
Maybe its a notch somewhere though. That sounds logical.
Great fix for trough wear

Quoted from dsuperbee:Wrong trough, that is for the newer WPC style, not the older style.
Sorry me bad, Have one in my TOM and it works great. Probably should not ASSumed there was the same in WH2O. 
Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:Does he support both standard and Bumble versions of Big Foot?
He might be like the rest of us and getting closer to Bumble. Sorry Dennis 
Quoted from yzfguy:IMHO... White looks a lot like ass.
Agreeing with the looks like ass so savant
Quoted from TheLaw:I use LEDs for (95%) inserts and incandescent for GI and everything looks awesome....I don't see the need to add monies with a board like that.
+1
Quoted from 27dnast:New owner....
How difficult/time consuming is a shop on this game?
You might want to pack a lunch.
