White Water
Williams, 1993Quoted from MAJRob:Darlene that really sucks. For what it's worth, there is still that one on Mr Pinball for 4500. Maybe he would go a bit lower and you would not have to keep burning gas, tolls, and your time. It is in Jersey too. I have no idea what the true condition is though.
Very true, you dont know unless you ask.
Quoted from MinusWorlds:He said he's not negotiable on pricing, I tried
Double bummer.

My husband is shocked!! These people bought the machine 9 years ago & have done nothing to it but played it. No shopping or waxing! Nothing!!! This machine needs MUCH LOVE. I figured when the next guy came to see it & said the same things, he would be ready to come down on the price. I had to tell them that it was missing two boulders, they had no idea.
I agree with spfxted. I would have wanted to choke the guy! I believe this is all happening for a reason... a sweet one is going to fall into your lap. Hang in there.
I just PMed you. I've got a nice player's machine that I'm going to be selling soon because I bought a collector quality one. I'm in VA.
Quoted from spfxted:I'll make him an offer he can't refuse....
Yeah well it better be $4500

No sorry meant the one in NJ for $4500...
Don't think the husband will travel that far, I have been pushing it lately. He was actually trying to talk me out of a White Water tonight, but I will not be swayed. Hey, the Allentown show will be coming up & I will be attending, maybe I will find one there?
Well, a fellow member sent me the pictures of the one in Robbinsville & the ramps are yellow. He also said it had some rust. If I was willing to pay $4500 I expect it to be in excellent shape, but hey, thats just me!!!
Quoted from spfxted:Which is what I suggested...
Yes, you did, thank you!
Quoted from spfxted:NOT just you!
And I guess that is why the guy is still trying to sell it
I still kick myself for not grabbing that WW I found for sale back in 2006 for 1000. Who knew this title would go up in value so much.
Quoted from Don44:Whitewater is a very difficult pin to shop. I just wanted to point that out.
I actually felt WH20 isn't that difficult of a shop. I had always heard that and with all those ramps it made sense, but it's wasn't very hard. DH gave me more problems.
Quoted from sb80:This is might be worth a road trip.

I did see his ad, and to be honest with you I really do not like the white powder coating. Besides there is NO WAY I can get the husband to drive that far to pick up a pin that I want and he is not that interested in.
But thank you for thinking of me.
That's the problem with machines like that one, you can't account for taste. I have no idea why anyone would even think about white. It looked great, why mess with it?

He did say he would remove the white, but its a drive. New playfield and ramps though.

New playfield and ramps, is exactly what I am looking for, a nice pin. But shipping would also put it out of reach considereing what the seller wants for it (he contacted me already.)
My personal opinion is that you aren't going to get one with a new playfield and ramps for $4500 or less. Just those parts are ~$1500, once you add in the time and labor, you're looking at way more. Anyone going to that effort is also going to replace other parts as well, like new decals, etc...
I just ripped one down to playfield only, and while I disagree that it is terribly difficult, I do agree that it takes a lot of time and patience to get everything back together in the right order.
If I had swapped playfield + ramps, I'd be looking for at least $5K+ for mine.
I flame polished my ramps and they look substantially better than before. No, they don't look brand new, but they are perfectly acceptable for a non HEP level game...
Good luck with the hunt.

Ohh, but hes got the new pin fever! Give him a few days,kidding. Good luck with your search.
My main objective is to get a game with a nice playfield, no wood showing or planking, does not have to be totally perfect, I can replace ramps or Boulders or do decals also, but the playfield is my main concern. Not afraid of a little work, am afraid of a playfield swap.
Quoted from gac:Hey Darlene - WH2O just listed on ebay for $2200 in Texas. Says "players machine" but doesnt look bad at all from what you can see in the pics. Shipping to NJ is easy.
My husband is going to pick up our MM this saturday 
, so my Wh20 has been tabled for now!
