£2900 is top dollar for this title i know, but it was restored over gawd-knows-how-many-hours by Kev Phillips (@Hiro996) which involves stripping down playfield on top and bottom, every part cleaned, new parts, etc etc etc. i can't remember now what was involved but it was loads.
the good: almost everything. it's a super-popular title, and they aren't making any more of them. most average whitewaters are almost two grand nowadays, but everyone wants the top games in either super-cheap (meaning crappy condition) or super-fine (meaning pricey) condition, so those are the ones that stand out. this one stands out. boards, display, legs, everything is spearmint-flavoured.
the bad: it has the topper but the surround plastic is all cracked up, as when i bought it, for some reason the game was held together with kitchen clingfilm, which just burst while the game was vertical, and the backbox bashed itself into a brick wall. i think these are available, it's the bit inside that's harder to get; LEDs throughout, sorry.
i didn't take many pictures as i forgot, sorry. it was getting dark and hopefully i captured most of it in the video. one of the videos demonstrates that all the coils are working fine, which is why it's making all the clacking noises.
edit - Kev reminds me this had full strip down inc rebuilt pop bumpers, playfield treasure-cove polished, new ramps, new boulders, new main CPU board

As an added bonus I think I polished the ramp flaps on this
