Wanted White Water
- Thread starter mark9
- Start date
Yeah took a lot of work that Daz !!! - but no where near as much as demo man will lol !!
Cheers Kev
was doing it for someone else - they have a nice mintey one now 
Ahh, the legendary Staffordshire shagged WH20. Go on then, how bad was it? I seem to remember that it "just needed a fuse". Hopefully it is slightly better than your picture would suggest. Is it possible to save it?
I too join the long queue of people who want a wh20. I'd even consider trading my WW or FH for one. And that's saying something!!
Well it would appear that it had been burgled (while the machine was switched on). As all the coin door was mashed, the flipper coil and switch loom must of been caught on the cash box as it was all torn an snapped, I know it was switched on as the fliptronic board and the CPU both had huge black scorch marks on some components so they were toast, the machine itself was rotten and rusty, big foots head is missing and the main boards were full of hacks and poor repairs, so all in all I would say it was well worth the money. Ha ha
On the plus side I complained to Staffordshire cc about failing to mention the condition of the machine (totally expecting a big F**k you in return) and they couldn't of been any nicer, they refunded all but their selling costs of my money and apologised over and over.
I was gunna scrap it but I have since decided that I can't give up the opportunity to build a mint white water, so I have since started a collection of parts and once I have enough together I'm going to start a massive restoration project (hopefully) sigh

Nah, basically I got a doner cab for around £100, all I have to do is strip and clean all the parts and then fit them to the new playfield once I have it, it's a big job but I reckon it will be well worth it in the end
Not the cheapest machine to do a full restore on but a classic and once done one of the best looking machines out there.
Your not kidding... I took the plunge and I'm sticking to it, I already have the ramp set, Boulder set, translite and various other small parts, already over 1k spent and not even taken a chunk out of it, all I need now is new cab, new playfield, new board set, new plastics etc etc oh and one of the rarest parts to find... A topper lol
Arnt the ramps alone a shocking amount of dosh?
Glad you got the cashback.
Take loads of pictures and show us the restore job you end up doing. It's great to see knackered pins brought back to life
and you sold the topper to me - silly man!!!! oh and it looks lovely on my machine!!!
Bur it did cost me and lot more than what I paid you for it - ie a new garage door !!!!
Cheers Kev
Christ you made a mess of that door Kev.
That triggers broom meme almost made me spit my dinner out with laughter. Hopefully will look like a brand new machine once finished if I take my time and don't get annoyed when I can't find the screwdriver I had 5 minutes prior....

Hi, I have just posted a for sale ad, for a Williams White Water. It’s in very good condition and here is a copy of the ad:
One careful owner, from new
I have a Williams White Water for sale. I bought this machine brand new in 1993 and I still have the original receipt. It’s had light use and comes with all the manuals and some spares. It’s in very good condition, it doesn’t need any work, and the only reason I am selling is I no longer have the space. Price: £2995 http://www.pinballinfo.com/community/threads/white-water-one-careful-owner-from-new.28762/
