Title: White Water Mods
Post by: swinks on October 24, 2012, 09:58:18 PM
I sold my WH20 at the beginning of the rear and do miss it, and came across a cool simple mod which I just had to buy for a rainy day. They are nicely made and look the part.

There was a member on AA making the same type of raft mods years ago, I had some on my last two wh20 machines.
They came in a choice of blue or yellow and with paddles on the rafts as well...sweet mod! I still have one floating around here somewhere.
Great game wh20...I will own another one someday....just not right now.

I like these legs as they really do look like water cascading and crashing. I think I would like this if I had one. Rafts with the oars are VERY cool indeed.

Hi AB,

It will work out more economical to have them powdercoated yourself locally (particularly if you have a set of old second hand legs lying around).

Powdercoating for a set of legs will be less than $50 for the lot (about $10/leg). Way cheaper than chrome or gold plating.

Use the Interpon Powdercoating chart to colour match. I think it it is available online or most powdercoating places have spare hard copy charts you can pinch.

I recommend "Space Blue."  *%*

here is another raft, which came from a key ring which is a little bigger and apparently looks out of place on the left side but alright on the right side

here is a cool mod, only came across this tonight, has anyone ever seen this one for sale before?

Its the KONA Volcano Plastic from my Gilligans Pinball machine, with a lift ramp plastic, also from Gilligans which sits infront of the Jungle Run spinning disk. Exact same colour plastic, and material.

The KONA Volcano plastic isnt for sale on Marco Spec or Bay Amusements. Perhaps others may have one. Its a perfect match for the Whitewater mountains.

Thanks cavey, nice detective work! And agree it does look a perfect match.

FYI you can buy them at
http://bayareaamusements.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Store_Code=BAA&Screen=PROD&Product_Code=GS-WH2O-03-87XX-5

The only major issue is they dont come with the Waterfall decal 31-1728-5-SP.

The most stupid mod ever, white water rafting is a summer activity, no one would ever go in the ice and snow  @.@

Doesnt the white mountains look much better than the brown colour. I thought so.

I think it's an interesting idea and it does have a small appeal, mostly because it is so different, but I don't think it looks better.
There is so much blue already, with the the white/light blue mountains etc. I think it over powers the other colours on the game too much.
I do like the alternate big foot to match the mountains though, very clever.

I agree, plus it does not match the translight at all, you wouldn't wear swimmers or a bikini in frigid ice cold water  ::)

each to there own .....

If we have all the same taste in pinball all pins would be just black...

I have big foot and the ice boulders have not changed them over .....

still unsure on the look i would like .

If the brown boulders are not the same some just look like dog poo.

Drano on pinside was making the missing plastic, unfortunately I sold mine a little ago. He is busy at the moment but just get your name on the list.
